Restaurant groups rely on GSS for steady financial reporting, reliable multi-unit accounting support, and clear communication. Our team helps operators save time, stay compliant, and focus on running strong restaurants.
“With GSS, we meet our franchisor requirements on time and with accuracy. The local CPA could not handle our volume. We are so happy to have made the change. GSS knows our business and our franchisor requirements.”
“As we grew from 10 to 80 units, our reporting requirements grew in complexity and our volume became overwhelming to manage in-house. GSS was able to scale efficiently with us, matching the skill level needed in each step of growth..
“We selected GSS because of its exceptional scalability and its ability to support advanced reporting and analysis at an unbeatable cost.”
“Working with GSS has been a great partnership. They keep us compliant with our franchisor and save us money.”
“We started with GSS because we had 300% turnover in our CFO role. We had IRS audits and a default with our lender for reporting requirements. Within four months of working with GSS, these issues were resolved, and we got back to the business of running our restaurants. We feel protected working with GSS.”
“GSS’s unique background in corporate accounting allowed us to build a shared services team with GSS’s team at the center led by our senior staff. This high-powered group provides corporate services used by our multiple entities managing over 400 restaurants. We could not find an operator with GSS’s depth of talent and cost efficiencies.”
“GSS’s take the guesswork out of the back office. They bring the best technology for restaurants and their first-rate staff are a pleasure to work with.”
“GSS delivers a service we count on for running our restaurant business. They are accurate, prompt and always communication clearly.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What do restaurant accounting services include?
Restaurant accounting services cover bookkeeping, financial reporting, bank reconciliations, sales tax tasks, AP, and support for multi-unit operations. At GSS, restaurant operators gain a team that understands the pace, volume, and financial structure of the restaurant industry and fast casual concepts. This gives owners consistent numbers, dependable reporting, and stronger financial health across every location.
How do bookkeeping services help restaurant owners run a more efficient business?
Bookkeeping is the base of restaurant finance. Accurate records improve forecasting, inventory control, cash flow, and net profit. When bookkeeping services are handled by accounting professionals who work with restaurants every day, owners get clean data, real-time reporting, and far fewer surprises in their back office and day-to-day financial operations.
Why do restaurant groups outsource their accounting instead of hiring in-house?
Outsourced accounting gives restaurant groups access to accounting expertise, cloud-based tools, and a consistent team without the cost of recruiting, training, or managing full-time staff. Many companies move to an outsourced partner after delays, turnover, or errors with internal teams. An external firm can absorb volume, maintain accuracy, and support multi-unit growth with far fewer interruptions.
How does GSS improve financial reporting for restaurant operators?
GSS supports franchise and independent restaurants with advanced reporting, real-time analytics, and dashboards that make it easier to spot trends and risks. This level of visibility gives teams information they can use for smarter budgeting, cost control, and strategic planning. Operators get a clearer view of profits and performance across locations.
How does restaurant accounting contribute to compliance and risk reduction?
Restaurants face frequent sales tax filings, labor rules, and franchise reporting standards. GSS helps owners stay on track with timely submissions, accurate data, and systems that reduce penalty risks. With proper recording and documentation in place, restaurant operators avoid the financial strain that comes from compliance gaps.
Can GSS support fast-growing restaurant groups with complex financial operations?
Yes. GSS works with companies that run five units or hundreds. The structure can support high-volume bookkeeping, multi-brand reporting, and cross-location consistency. As clients expand, GSS maintains the same level of accuracy and responsiveness, helping leadership focus on growth, staffing, customer experience, and long-term plans.
Does GSS offer more than basic bookkeeping and accounting services?
Beyond bookkeeping and accounting services, GSS provides data analytics, strategic reporting, and planning support that help owners make informed decisions. These tools go far beyond simple statements. They give leadership the insight needed to improve efficiency, strengthen margins, and keep the company moving in a healthy direction.
How do strong accounting systems help restaurants improve profitability and guest experiences?
Clean financial systems support better management decisions, smoother operations, and fewer disruptions. When owners have dependable numbers, they can control food costs, staffing, and inventory with far more confidence. This frees up time and resources for what matters most: creating unforgettable guest experiences and running a business with long-term stability.
