How the work gets organized

  1. 1

    Map accounts and channels

    We identify where the restaurant operates, which accounts are already open, and how each sales channel records activity.

  2. 2

    Reconcile before filing

    We compare sales-system activity with payment and deposit records so differences can be investigated.

  3. 3

    Prepare and document

    We complete the agreed filing and payment workflow and retain organized supporting records.

Restaurant records first, filing second

Sales-tax treatment and deadlines vary with the facts, jurisdiction, and current rules. Frye Advisors does not use a generic webpage answer to classify a transaction; the service begins with the restaurant's locations, registrations, sales channels, and records.

Frequently asked questions

Can Frye Advisors file and pay restaurant sales tax?

Sales-tax filing and payments are among Frye Advisors' bookkeeping deliverables when included in the engagement. Scope is confirmed for the restaurant's accounts and jurisdictions.

Why reconcile sales before preparing a return?

Reconciliation compares point-of-sale activity with card, bank, and third-party platform records. It helps identify missing, duplicated, or differently timed activity before filed amounts are prepared.

Can you help a new restaurant open sales-tax accounts?

Yes. Frye Advisors can assist a new business with registrations and obtaining applicable sales-tax accounts.

Do sales-tax rules differ by location and sales channel?

They can. The applicable treatment depends on current law and the facts of the transaction and jurisdiction, so Frye Advisors reviews the operation rather than offering a universal classification on this page.
