What we run

Four things, every week.

This is the whole service. Four jobs off your desk every week, compliance on top, and a call every month to go through what the numbers are telling you.

01

Payroll

Award-aware wages run every week, STP lodged with each pay run and super paid on time.

Every week

02

Supplier payments

Invoices captured and coded as they arrive, then queued into one payment run you approve in a click.

Every week

03

Reconciliation

Every account matched and queries cleared weekly, so your books match reality rather than last month.

Every week

04

Reporting

Sales, labour, COGS, overheads and net profit on one page, with consultant notes on what moved.

Every week

Monthly

IAS

PAYG withholding reported and lodged every month, prepared from books that are already clean.

Quarterly

BAS

Prepared and lodged in-house by a registered tax agent, with a weekly reserve so the bill is never a surprise.

Annual, additional

Tax returns

Company and personal returns from the Foundation package. Same team, same books, no handover.

Built into the weekly process

  • Cashflow visibility, with your closing position and next supplier run reported every week
  • Supplier price tracking, with line-item movements flagged the week they happen
  • Group reporting, in the same format for every venue you run
  • A free historic clean-up of your file before we start

Your monthly call

When did you last spend half an hour on how your venue is really doing?

Most owners cannot remember one. You get a set of accounts months late and nobody walks you through them. We have had clients close to tears on that first call, not because the numbers were bad, but because somebody finally told them the truth about their tax position and what the venue actually earns, and then showed them the way out of it.

01

We become a second brain for your venue.

Someone who knows your business, goes through your numbers with you, and points out the opportunities, the risks and the pitfalls while you can still do something about them. Your client manager is Amit, who ran venues for ten years before any of this.

02

Benchmarks, not guesses.

We look after more than thirty venues in every state and territory in Australia. So when we talk about what a supplier should be charging you, where your labour should sit, or what a good net profit looks like for a venue like yours, it comes from what we actually see.

03

It is in every package.

Not an upgrade and not an add-on. Clients tell us the call is the thing that pushed them to take a labour budget seriously, put their prices up, go back at their suppliers on cost of goods, and start running at a profit they can actually see.

The hard questions

The questions that keep operators up at night.

Can I afford to open another site?

The answer is not in your gut, it is in your numbers. We build the picture from your real trading: what the first venue actually returns, what it costs to run a week, and what is left over once wages, stock and the ATO are paid.

You get a clear view of what a second site would need to carry.

Where is my profit leaking?

Usually into two lines that move quietly: labour and cost of goods. A roster that runs a few points heavy, or a supplier who repriced without telling you, will cost you a month before a quarterly report catches it.

We track both every week and flag the movement while you can still act on it.

Am I actually on top of the ATO?

Most venues find out they are behind when a deadline lands. Because we reconcile weekly, code GST as invoices arrive and lodge STP with every pay run, BAS is a review rather than a scramble.

IAS monthly, BAS quarterly, lodged in-house by a registered tax agent.

Can I trust these numbers?

This is the one that costs the most. If you cannot trust the file, you cannot make a decision with it. That is why every engagement starts with a full clean-up of your historic books before we run a single week.

The clean-up is free. You start on solid ground.

How we work

Your finance team, built only for hospitality.

01

We read the story behind your numbers.

Every weekly report carries consultant notes, not just figures. We tell you what moved, what it means and what to watch, in plain English.

02

Accurate, current, compliant.

Books reconciled weekly, GST coded as invoices arrive, payroll lodged with every run. Your file is ready for the ATO, your accountant or a lender at any time.

03

We scale with your ambition.

For most venues we are the entire finance function. For growing groups we run the weekly load beside your own people, with the same reporting format across every site.

Hospo runs on tight margins. So does Roger.

Most venues see their numbers three weeks after month-end. That is too late to fix the roster or the food cost that caused them.

And most bookkeepers are manual, data-entry heavy businesses, so the monthly fees run high. We price so efficiently because we're very tech-forward, and we make sure the hours spent on your file are high-value work.

Roger is built lean on purpose: one industry, one weekly rhythm, systems tuned for venues. No CBD office, no partner lunches, no hourly billing.

You get a premium, reliable service at a price a hospo P&L can actually carry, less than half what a traditional accounting service charges. Chartered accountants, Xero specialists and a registered tax agent, with professional indemnity insurance, run by people who spent ten years in venues and know exactly what hospo finances and operations look like.

Dr Amit Tewari, founder

"I've left hospitality, but hospitality never left me."

Roger was founded by Dr Amit Tewari, who started Soul Burger and ran venues for 10 years before leaving the industry and founding Roger Financial. He realised hospo needed its own specialty bookkeepers: people who knew the back-end ops, how a week works, how to chat to suppliers, how to manage cash and credit, and what a good financial back end actually looks like. At a price that's realistic for independent, smaller operators too.

Reading invoices, coding them and building your reports runs on software we wrote ourselves. The saving goes to you instead of to a bigger team typing things out by hand. That is why we cost less than half what a traditional accounting service charges and still do more.

Roger is the finance department he wished he had when he was running venues, and he is still the one on your monthly call.

Questions, answered

How much does Roger cost?

Bookkeeping starts at $499 a month, about $115 a week, and your historic clean-up is free. It's month to month with no lock-in, backed by a price-beat guarantee. Accounting is available from the Foundation package. Any additional custom monthly reporting or extra task is $100 a month, quoted up front, so your number may not be exactly one of the three.

What happens on the monthly call?

Half an hour on how your venue is really doing, with Amit, who ran venues for ten years and is your client manager. Your real tax position, where your labour sits against venues your size, what your suppliers are charging you against the averages we see across the book, whether your prices are where they need to be, and what a good net profit looks like for a venue like yours. It is in every package, not an upgrade.

What's included each week?

Every week: payroll and super, the supplier payment run, bank reconciliation and invoice uploading, and your weekly financial report. Monthly IAS and quarterly BAS are included from Essentials up, with annual tax returns in the Foundation package.

Do you only work with hospitality?

Yes. Cafes, restaurants, quick-service venues, pubs and bars, hospo B2B, hostels and accommodation, that's it. One industry means our systems, our award knowledge and our pricing are all tuned for venues.

What does switching involve?

You nominate us as your agent on the ATO online services portal and grant us access to your Xero. From there we take over: we contact suppliers, redirect them to an invoice-capture email, review your books and begin the weekly process that helps you sleep at night! Most venues switch without missing a single pay run.

Are you a registered tax agent?

Yes. Get Roger Pty Ltd is a registered tax agent, so your BAS, IAS and tax returns are prepared and lodged in-house. We also carry professional indemnity insurance.

Where do you operate?

Across Australia. We look after venues in every state and territory, the Northern Territory most recently. We're Sydney-based and the service is delivered remotely, so your postcode isn't a barrier.
