Hospitality

Accountants for hotels, restaurants, pubs and cafés

Sectors and Industries

At Wellden Turnbull, we have years of experience working within the hospitality industry. Whether you are a restaurant, hotel, pub or café, we know how fast paced your business is, and so your accounting and tax advice needs to keep up.

Due to the very high number of transactions in a typical hospitality business, we appreciate how important it is to ensure your record keeping is accurate and up to date. Therefore, choosing the right software to record and monitor your transactions is key (for example Xero which connects with Shogo and Lightspeed). It is also important to ensure your internal finance team is properly set up – we can help support them to ensure everything is running smoothly.

We understand how important your payroll is to your business, with high staff levels, a constantly changing workforce and a mixture of hourly and salaried workers – our modern payroll function ensures staff are paid accurately and on time, keeping your workforce happy. We can advise on tronc schemes to ensure that tips are appropriately distributed amongst your team.

The hospitality sector is subject to ever changing VAT rules – for example the changes brought in by the temporary reduction in VAT rates as part of the Governments COVID measures. Our team can review your VAT returns before you submit them to HMRC, providing you with comfort.

Our tax team can assist with ensuring all available relief (such as the super-deductions allowance) is claimed for capital expenditure on site fit-outs and refurbishments, which are becoming more and more frequent in the industry.

If your business is growing, and you are interested in acquiring a hospitality business, we can ensure that the takeover is structured in such a way that best fits your business’s needs, is tax efficient, and minimises business risk.

Our audit team also have experience in a number of hospitality businesses, so if you require or want an audit, we would be happy to discuss your needs.

  I would like to share some very positive feedback on our auditors, Wellden Turnbull, and, in particular, our lead auditor, Bobbi-Jo. The firm has consistently demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, diligence, and expertise throughout our audits and in providing strategic advice.
Bobbi-Jo has been truly exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure our requirements are met, often working tirelessly — including long hours — to deliver accurate, timely, and thorough results. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to supporting our business make a real difference, particularly in navigating complex matters.
I would also like to highlight the excellent work and support of Robin John and Emma Green, who have been consistently thorough, reliable, and professional, providing valuable insights and guidance in both audit and tax-related areas. Together, the Wellden Turnbull team has provided not only technical excellence but also trusted partnership and strategic support.
We are extremely grateful for their dedication and for the outstanding work that Bobbi-Jo, Robin, Emma, and the wider team continue to deliver.

  I have worked with Wellden Turnbull for approximately 20 years. Chris Plumbridge has been my main point of contact during the majority of this time - he is extremely professional, credible and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend using the firm.
