About Accountants for Hospitality

Accountants for Hospitality is a trading style of Buzz Accounting Ltd. We do the accounts, tax, payroll and planning for independent restaurants, cafés, pubs, bars, hotels and B&Bs.

Who we act for

We act for independent restaurants and cafés, free houses and leased pubs, bars, small hotels, guest houses and B&Bs, and groups running several sites under one holding company.

How we work

We work by phone and video call across the UK. Your books run in Xero, your till posts its daily sales into it, and we agree a monthly fee before any work starts. Accounts, tax, bookkeeping and VAT returns start from £149 + VAT a month, set by your turnover.
