Serving hospitality businesses
For hotels, restaurants, cafes, pubs and clubs, we’re a consistent support in changing times. S&W brings nationwide coverage and unmatched experience and expertise to address the issues facing the industry and your business.
We help businesses create strategies for success, optimise operations, transform their businesses and technology and manage regulations, tax and risks. From automation and artificial intelligence to accountancy and audits, we work with the hospitality industry to keep the doors open, grow businesses and welcome the future with confidence.
Holistic hospitality accounting, advisory and services
Across the life of the business, S&W’s advice and services offer comprehensive coverage for businesses’ needs. From strategic advice and planning to acquisitions, reliefs and restructuring, our industry insights and technical expertise help keep hospitality businesses competitive, compliant and confident.
Tax services
Tax services help hospitality businesses manage the tax burden by ensuring they meet regulatory obligations, minimise exposures and maximise reliefs. Whether it’s employment taxes and issues with the minimum wage, zero hours and national insurance, or business rates, VAT and corporation tax, we support clients with practical advice and services for effective planning, efficient payment and confident compliance across their finance functions.
Advisory consulting
Advisory consulting experts work with hospitality businesses to optimise operations, cut costs, address the causes of underperformance, identify their value drivers and develop and implement strategies for growth. For turnarounds, troubleshooting and transformations, we bring innovative insights and practical advice to build better businesses.
Finance and funding
Finance and funding advice is essential, whether for ambitious businesses eyeing growth and acquisitions, organisations looking to refinance or restructure existing loans, or firms seeking finance for new real estate. Our corporate finance team and debt advisory experts provide support across the funding and financing process – identifying and approaching investors and lenders, preparing reports and agreeing terms.
Digital services
Digital services help hospitality businesses make more from their investments in technology and automation. We enable clients to define effective technology strategies; implement solutions to optimise their processes, boosting efficiency and reliability; secure systems to keep company and customer data safe; and gain greater insights from their data to extract value and improve services.
We support businesses across the lifecycle, through growth, risks, challenges and change to successions and exits. From outsourcing to audits, risk and restructuring, tax and transactions, we offer expert service and forge long-term relationships.
