Back Office Bookkeeping &
Tax Planning for Bars

Manhattan and New York City are famous for thriving social scenes centered around bars, taverns, and nightclubs. We understand the day-to-day struggles of keeping the doors open and competing against large operators in the razor-thin profit margin hospitality industry.

The assistance of a highly qualified CPA is essential for drinking establishments due to specialized Federal, NY State, and Manhattan regulations surrounding reporting and tax requirements. NYC is "The City that Never Sleeps" — and the Aber team has decades of experience serving the financial, tax planning, and accounting needs of New York's bustling pubs, bars, lounges, and nightclubs.

"Aber CPA has been a trusted partner that has delivered substantial value and tax savings for many years, while sharing their financial business advice. They are also able to understand and successfully respond to Danji's sales & liquor tax issues."
