Restaurant Bookkeeping in Salt Lake City
Restaurant bookkeeping in Salt Lake City with flat monthly fees, POS reconciliation, clear reports, and real monthly calls to help you understand your numbers
Running a restaurant takes your full attention. Between service, staffing, vendors, and guests, it is easy for the books to fall behind. SheCounts provides restaurant bookkeeping for independent restaurants, cafes, bars, food trucks, and caterers across South Jordan, Salt Lake City, and the Wasatch Front.
You deserve financial records that help you make decisions, not create more stress. We organize your numbers, explain what they mean in plain English, and meet with you each month to talk through your business.
Financial Services Built for Your Restaurant
You know food, hospitality, and how to take care of your customers. The financial side can feel harder to keep up with, especially when margins are thin and the day-to-day work never slows down.
Bookkeeping for restaurants needs to account for more than income and expenses. We help you keep an eye on food cost, labor cost, tips, payroll, cash handling, sales tax, vendor invoices, and POS sales. With organized books and regular reports, you can see where your money is going and make decisions with more confidence.
Your monthly bookkeeping can include:
QuickBooks support, account reconciliation, and monthly financial reports
POS sales reconciliation and organized vendor expense tracking
Help tracking food cost and labor as a percentage of sales
A real monthly conversation about your numbers, with flat monthly fees and no hourly surprises
If your records are overdue or disorganized, Catch-up Bookkeeping can help get them back on track. SheCounts also offers Tax Preparation, Tax Planning, and Business Growth Advisory for owners who want more support around their financial decisions.
Why Restaurant Owners Choose SheCounts
Restaurant owners need bookkeeping that reflects the realities of a busy service business. Clear records can help you understand daily sales, costs, and cash flow without adding more work to your plate.
We Understand Your Industry
Your books need to reflect how restaurants operate. We work with POS systems such as Toast, Square, and Clover, and we understand the moving parts behind daily sales, tips, payroll, food purchases, and sales tax.
Margins Made Clear
Sales alone do not tell the whole story. We help you track COGS and labor as a percentage of sales, so you can better understand which parts of your business are supporting your bottom line.
Numbers Made Approachable
There is no judgment here. You will get clear answers in plain language, whether you are reviewing a monthly report, catching up overdue books, or trying to make sense of a menu price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you integrate with my POS system?
SheCounts can support bookkeeping workflows connected to POS systems such as Toast, Square, and Clover. During your consultation, we can talk through your current setup and what information needs to flow into QuickBooks.
How do you handle tips and payroll?
Tips and payroll need careful tracking because they affect your labor costs and financial reports. We help organize this information so you have a clearer picture of what your team costs and what your restaurant keeps.
How do I track food cost percentage?
Food cost percentage compares your food and beverage costs to sales. We help you organize vendor purchases and sales data so you can review this percentage regularly and use it when making pricing and purchasing decisions.
What about sales tax?
We help keep sales tax activity organized in your books, so you have clearer records and fewer surprises when it is time to prepare and file.
My books are behind. Can you catch me up?
Yes. Catch-up Bookkeeping is designed for restaurant owners who need help organizing overdue accounts, reconciling transactions, and getting current again.
Can you do my taxes too?
Yes. SheCounts offers Tax Preparation and Tax Planning alongside ongoing bookkeeping support.
Which plan fits my restaurant?
The right plan depends on your sales volume, number of accounts, payroll needs, POS setup, and how much support you want. Monthly Bookkeeping support should give you timely reports, clear records, and regular time to understand the food, labor, and operating costs behind your sales.
