Who we are

Build a strong financial foundation for your restaurant

Hospitality is one of Australia's most financially demanding industries — thin margins, high staff turnover, complex award wages and hundreds of weekly supplier invoices. Our restaurant bookkeeping is built around how your venue actually operates: POS integrations, daily takings reconciliation, food cost percentage reporting and Hospitality Award payroll.

Partner with Numerix and you gain professionals who understand the compliance framework and cash flow pressures unique to hospitality — helping you protect margins with reliable bookkeeping and compliant payroll.

Restaurant accounting in Sydney

Accountants who understand hospitality

Numerix Accounting provides accounting and bookkeeping for restaurants, cafes, pubs and clubs across Sydney and greater NSW — from the CBD and Parramatta to Strathfield, Bankstown, Liverpool, Casula and Fairfield. We know hospitality's pressure points: thin margins, high staff turnover, the Hospitality Award and a flood of weekly supplier invoices.

Daily takings and food costs, under control

We reconcile POS, EFTPOS and cash every day so discrepancies surface immediately, and report food and beverage cost percentages weekly — so you can adjust menu pricing and portion control before a bad month becomes a bad quarter.

Hospitality Award payroll done right

The Hospitality Industry (General) Award is complex: split shifts, penalty rates, junior rates, casual loadings and public holidays. Our payroll team interprets it correctly so your team is paid right and you're protected from Fair Work exposure.

One team for the whole venue

Your restaurant books connect to the rest of your finances — accounting, tax and cash flow forecasting — so you can plan through quiet weeks and busy seasons with confidence.
