Learn moreWhat Makes Us Different
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.
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

What Our Clients Say
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.
Yes. We work inside Toast, Square, Clover, PAR Brink, Restaurant365 and QuickBooks Online, integrating sales, tenders and labor so your books reconcile automatically.
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.
Absolutely. Our founder serves as in-house Controller for a 58 unit, $120M+ franchise group, producing consolidated and per-location P&Ls across the whole organization.
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.
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.
