Learn moreWhat Makes Us Different
More than accounting — real restaurant operations support
Most accountants and CPA firms can only record what already happened. FORCS goes inside the restaurant with you: reviewing inventory, building recipes, and mapping items at the line level inside your accounting software. That is how you actually control prime cost — not just report it after the month closes.
- Inventory review & stock-count setup
- Recipe creation & menu-item costing
- COGS & actual-vs-theoretical (AvT) analysis
- Item-level mapping in Restaurant365 & QBO
The edge over a typical CPA
“If you only see the numbers after the period closes, it's already too late to fix them. We help you control cost while service is still happening.”
Technology

POS, accounting and operations platforms — integrated so your data flows without manual entry.
Areas We Serve
Local restaurant accountants, nationwide reach
Deep local knowledge of sales tax, tip credits and labor law where you operate — with virtual service anywhere in the U.S.

What Our Clients Say
Results operators trust
As CEO of a 56-unit franchise operation generating $115M in annual revenue, I rely on Steven as both my Controller and trusted financial partner. He produces the daily and weekly reporting I need for real decisions, manages our 12-period forecasting, and handles high-volume cash management flawlessly. He combines the technical expertise of a Controller with the strategic mindset of a CFO — an exceptional financial leader for any multi-unit restaurant organization.
Restaurant accounting questions, answered
Do you work with my POS and restaurant software?
Yes. We work inside Toast, Square, Clover, PAR Brink, Restaurant365 and QuickBooks Online — integrating sales, tenders and labor so your books reconcile automatically.
How is FORCS different from a regular CPA firm?
Most CPAs only record history. We do restaurant operations too — inventory review, recipe costing and item-level mapping inside your accounting software — plus weekly reporting a tax CPA rarely touches. We also prepare clean year-end books for your CPA.
Do you support multi-unit and franchise restaurants?
Absolutely. Our founder serves as outsourced Controller for a 60+ unit, $120M+ franchise group, producing consolidated and per-location P&Ls across the whole organization.
How fast will I get my reports?
We deliver daily and weekly flash reporting plus a full period-end close, so you never wait until tax time to see how your restaurant is performing.
Are you GAAP compliant, and can you work with restaurants outside New York?
Yes on both. We keep GAAP-compliant books and, while our office is in NYC, we serve restaurants in all 50 states through virtual meetings and calls.
