Company History
The Restaurant CPAs (RCPA) was created to solve a long-standing problem in the restaurant industry: most operators struggle to find accountants who truly understand restaurants. Traditional accounting firms rarely specialize in restaurant operations, leaving owners without guidance on tax opportunities, financial controls, labor efficiency, profitability, and multi-unit growth.
RCPA was founded to bring clarity, specialization, and easy access to the top restaurant-focused accounting firms in the country. Our team built a curated network of experienced industry professionals—including leaders with backgrounds in restaurant finance, franchising, restaurant technology, and multi-unit advisory services. Over time, this network grew into a comprehensive platform that helps owners improve financial performance, reduce tax liability, and strengthen operational discipline.
Today, RCPA continues to expand its partnerships and resources while helping restaurant operators at every stage—independent owners, franchisees, multi-unit operators, and emerging growth brands—connect with the specialized expertise they need to thrive.
