From Houston to coast to coast — built for any operator who runs restaurants for success.









































































Cerboni was not built just to fit a market need. It was built by people who have owned and operated restaurants and knew exactly what this firm should look like than any general accounting firm can claim.

Cerboni is the only official accounting partner of Toast POS and the preferred accounting partner of the Texas Restaurant Association. These are not general business relationships. They are restaurant industry credentials that our partners stand behind credentials that no generic accounting firm can claim.

When you ask about prime cost, food cost variance, tip pooling, or FICA tip credits, you are talking to a team that already knows the answers. Cerboni does not need to look up what your questions mean.
Many operators pay for financial reports they barely use. When accounting only shows you what happened two months ago, it feels like a bill. When it shows you what to fix next month, it becomes a tool.
A restaurant’s food costs in April are not the same as May. If your P&L lands six weeks after the month closes, the window to act on it has already closed with it.
Tips, comps, COGS, food cost, labor cost, POS reconciliation. Restaurants carry financial complexities that general firms regularly miss. Keeping the books is not the same as reading them through a restaurant lens.
