Overland Park, KS, July 22, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​For restaurant and hotel owners, success depends on filling dining tables and booking hotel reservations with little time to manage payroll, accounting or taxes. With over 45 years of experience working with over 1,440 restaurants and hotels employing more than 60,000 employees, Mize Houser announces the creation of the Hospitality Services Group, focused on helping owner-managed, multi-location restaurant and hotel groups and franchises with proprietary online accounting systems and tax services.

With over 1,500 restaurants and 140 hotels in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, the need for professional help to manage payroll, accounting and taxes is booming. What’s also becoming critical are the often onerous tax issues looming over many hotel and restaurant operations.

“Other accounting firms don’t have the expertise or depth that Mize Houser has when it comes to helping clients with tax planning and consulting. They’re great at producing payroll or financial statements, but may not have the resources to help an owner with business and personal tax challenges, “explains Curtis.

Market forces, including living wage, minimum wage, tip-credit and the impact of the Affordable Care Act, are coming increasingly worrisome for restaurant and hotel owners. “We understand how regulatory issues financially impact an owner so we monitor issues to help them plan accordingly,” adds Curtis.
