# Roger Financial

> Roger Financial (Get Roger Pty Ltd, ABN 70 691 315 278) is an Australian bookkeeping and accounting firm that works only with hospitality businesses: independent cafes, restaurants, quick-service and takeaway venues, pubs and bars, hospitality B2B, hostels and accommodation. It is a registered tax agent (Tax Practitioners Board, RAN 26371473), works in Xero, and serves venues in every state and territory from Sydney.

## What Roger does

- Every week: payroll and super (award-based, Single Touch Payroll lodged with each pay run), supplier invoice capture and a weekly supplier payment run, bank reconciliation, and a one-page weekly profit and loss report with notes on what moved.
- Monthly IAS (PAYG withholding) and quarterly BAS, lodged in-house by the registered tax agent, from the Essentials package.
- Annual company and personal tax returns in the Foundation package.
- A monthly call with the founder, Dr Amit Tewari, on how the venue is really doing, in every package.
- A free clean-up of the venue's historic books before the weekly service starts.

## Pricing (AUD, per venue, per month)

- Core, $499: weekly payroll and super with STP lodgement, supplier invoice capture and payment run, bank reconciliation, a one-page weekly P&L with notes, and a monthly call with the founder.
- Essentials, $599: everything in Core plus monthly IAS (PAYG withholding) and quarterly BAS prepared and lodged in-house.
- Foundation, $799: everything in Essentials plus annual company and personal tax returns.
- Month to month, no lock-in. Extra custom reporting or tasks are $100 a month, quoted up front. Machine-readable version: https://rogerfinancial.com.au/pricing.md

## Who it suits

Independent hospitality owners who want their numbers every week instead of months later, from a team that knows the Restaurant, Fast Food and Hospitality (General) awards, POS and delivery-app clearing accounts, and supplier-heavy accounts payable. Roger looks after over thirty venues, from single sites to small groups. Founder Dr Amit Tewari started Soul Burger and has spent 15 years in hospitality.
