CFO-level strategy, grounded in your real numbers
There’s a gap between a bookkeeper who records the past and a full-time CFO you can’t yet afford. Restaurant consulting from FORCS fills it. We give you fractional-CFO guidance for the decisions that actually shape your restaurant’s future — expansion, financing, pricing and performance — grounded in the same accounting and operations work we do every day.
Our founder manages 12-period forecasting and budgeting for a 60+ unit, $120M+ group, and our partner Patrice Leys has spent 25+ years growing restaurant operations and helping operators secure financing. That’s the experience behind your plan.
Planning your next location
Opening a restaurant is a bet. We help you make it a calculated one — modeling the new unit, stress-testing the assumptions, and building the financial roadmap so you know what it takes to succeed before you sign a lease.
Financing that actually closes
Lenders fund clarity. We prepare lender-ready financials, realistic projections and clean financing packages that make it easy for a bank to say yes — and we help you approach the right lenders for a restaurant.
Improving the restaurants you already have
Sometimes the best growth is fixing the units you own. We dig into per-location P&Ls to find the specific levers — labor, prime cost, pricing, hours — that move each restaurant’s margin, then track the results each period. It pairs naturally with our automations so the reporting behind your strategy runs itself.
Who this is for
Owners planning their next location, operators seeking financing, and multi-unit groups that need CFO-level strategy without the cost of a full-time hire.

Consulting — frequently asked questions
What is a fractional CFO for a restaurant?
A fractional CFO gives you senior financial leadership — strategy, forecasting, financing and performance analysis — on a part-time basis, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO. It's ideal for growing restaurants that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but aren't ready for a full-time finance executive.
Can you help me get financing to open a new location?
Yes. We prepare lender-ready financials, projections and financing packages, and our partner has direct experience assisting operators with acquiring financing and building growth plans.
Do I need consulting if I already use your accounting service?
Consulting is optional and additive. Many clients start with accounting and operations, then add consulting when they're planning growth, seeking financing or trying to improve a specific location's performance.
