Accountant for Hospitality Venues in Sydney
Specialist accounting, bookkeeping, and tax services for cafes, restaurants, pubs, and clubs. Daily takings, casual payroll, food and beverage margins, and BAS handled.
Three reasons our clients stay.
We’re a boutique accounting practice built on long-term client relationships, offering personalised tax, accounting, and advisory services to businesses and organisations across Sydney.
Twenty-three years in practice as of 2026. Same firm, same principal, same standards since 2003. Some clients have been with us almost the whole way. The work compounds, and so does the trust. Over four hundred SMSFs managed and thousands of tax returns lodged.
Tax, books, advisory, SMSF, Xero. One team that knows your business. No handoffs between firms, no missed details between specialists, no questions you have to answer twice. Numbers flow cleanly from books to BAS to tax return because the same people are looking at all of them.
We are old-fashioned about this. You get a name, a direct line, and someone who actually knows your file. We watch for trends, flag issues before they become fines, and call when something needs attention. Most clients hear from us between quarters, not just at lodgement time.
Why hospitality venues need a specialist accountant.
Hospitality runs on thin margins, daily takings, and food and beverage cost percentages. Cafes, restaurants, pubs, and clubs each have different revenue patterns, different supplier relationships, and different payroll complexity. Margins per dish, per drink, and per shift determine whether the venue actually makes money.
Add casual payroll under the hospitality award covering chefs, kitchenhands, baristas, wait staff, and front-of-house. Add equipment-heavy fit-outs that depreciate over multi-year cycles. Add supplier credit terms and the cash flow patterns of seasonal trade. The financial work behind a hospitality venue sits well above generic small business.
A general accountant can miss legitimate deductions, mishandle hospitality payroll, or fail to track food and beverage costs. Specialist hospitality accounting understands the cost structure, the workforce arrangements, and the operational rhythms of the sector.

A small firm by design.
Trinity Accounting Practice opened in Beverly Hills in 2003. Ramy Hanna, a registered tax agent and Fellow of three Australian accounting institutes, has run it since. The firm has stayed deliberately small, deliberately local, and deliberately senior. The principal you talk to today is the principal who will be reviewing your return next October.
Most of our work comes from referrals. Most clients have been with us for years, some for decades. We think that says more about the work than any award would.
The reviews speak for themselves.
Sole traders, growing companies, and trustees who keep coming back. Here’s why.

What hospitality venues ask before engaging us.
The questions hospitality venues most often have before working with us. Same answers we give in person, just in writing.
Pricing depends on venue size, revenue, and engagement scope. Cafes typically start at a fixed monthly fee. Larger restaurants, pubs, and multi-venue operators are quoted as a package.
Yes. Cash, EFTPOS, and online sales are reconciled daily as part of standard bookkeeping. Drift is caught early rather than at year-end.
Yes. F&B cost tracked at the menu-item level so margin per dish and drink is visible. Menu decisions are backed by data.
Hospitality industry award compliance for chefs, kitchen, bar, and front-of-house staff is part of standard service for clients on managed payroll. Penalty rates handled correctly.
Yes. Ovens, fridges, coffee machines, and fit-outs are depreciated correctly with instant asset write-off applied where it fits.
Seasonal patterns are modelled across the year. Quiet weeks and busy weeks both forecast so cash flow tightness is anticipated.
