Your back office, run by someone who owns a park and knows how it makes money.
Outsourced accounting and CFO support for family entertainment centers, trampoline and adventure parks, arcades, bowling and indoor play. We know Roller and Lilypad, close your books fast, and get you ready for lenders, investors and buyers.
Thousands of small tickets. One set of books that never quite ties out.
Parks, arcades, bowling centers and indoor play all share the same accounting headaches, and most general bookkeepers have never seen them.
POS and bank never match
Daily sales, card batches, processing fees, refunds and gift cards land on different days. Without a daily match, small gaps pile up into a month-end mystery.
Sales tax and revenue share
Admissions, food and beverage, merchandise and card fees can each be taxed differently, and arcade revenue is usually shared with the game operator. Get the mapping or the revenue share wrong and the problem builds quietly.
Labor swings with attendance
Payroll is your biggest cost, and it has to flex with weekends, school breaks and slow weekdays. Getting the KPIs right is crucial in this industry. Without a weekly view, labor runs ahead of traffic.
Lumpy cash
Weekends and school breaks carry the year, while insurance, utilities, rent and sales tax remittances land on their own schedule. Cash looks fine right up until the big payments hit together.
Outsourced accounting and CFO support, built for how a park actually operates.
Daily revenue, posted and matched — from Roller and Lilypad
Sales by stream from your Roller and Lilypad reports posted to the books, matched to card deposits, with fees, refunds, gift cards and arcade revenue share broken out.
A fast monthly close — numbers you can still act on
Books closed within 5 business days of month-end, with a clean P&L, balance sheet and cash summary. You see last month in time to change this month.
Sales tax — mapped, reconciled and filed
Each revenue stream mapped to the right treatment for your state, reconciled to your sales reports and filed on schedule.
A monthly scorecard — the numbers that run a park
The handful of KPIs that actually drive a park's results, scored against plan every month, with what to do about them.
CFO support when you need it — budgets, cash and growth
A budget built around your season and a 13-week cash forecast that sees summer and school breaks coming.
Position your park for the money conversations.
New attractions, a second location or an exit all start with numbers an outsider can trust. We build them and sit at the table with you.
Lenders
Lender-ready financials and projections for equipment, expansion or refinancing, plus covenant tracking so there are no surprises after closing.
Capital raising
We show investors the numbers they care about: a financial model, use of funds and how the park makes money, then clear updates once the money is in.
M&A
Books ready for a buyer's review, the value drivers buyers look for in an FEC, and support whether you're buying or selling.
A back office you don't have to manage, so you can run the floor.
Your attention belongs on guests and staff
Weekends, birthday parties, maintenance and hiring already fill your week. We take the accounting, sales tax and reporting off your plate and hand you a short monthly summary you can act on.
Systems you already run
We work with Roller and Lilypad, so there is nothing to switch and no learning curve on your reports. You keep your systems; we make the books match them.
Fair questions, straight answers.
Do you actually know how a family entertainment center makes money?
Yes. Our founder works on the finance side of a family entertainment center himself, so the daily close, the card-deposit match, the sales tax split and the labor-to-attendance math are work we do every week, not theory.
Do you work with Roller and Lilypad?
Yes. We already work with Roller and Lilypad, so there's no learning curve on your reports or revenue categories. We post their numbers to QuickBooks Online on a set routine, and you keep the systems you have.
How fast do you close the books?
Within 5 business days of month-end. A fast close means you see last month's numbers while you can still act on them, not after the next busy weekend has come and gone.
Can you help us with a loan, raising capital or selling the park?
Yes. We build lender-ready financials and projections, prepare the model and investor materials for a raise, and get the books ready for a buyer's review when you're thinking about a sale or an acquisition.
How is this different from my bookkeeper or my CPA?
Your bookkeeper records what happened and your tax CPA files the returns. We can take the bookkeeping off your plate entirely, and we add the forward-looking layer neither of them provides: a 13-week cash forecast, a budget built around your season, and a monthly scorecard with an action plan.
Can you handle sales tax for admissions, food, arcade and parties?
Yes. Different revenue streams can be treated differently for sales tax depending on your state. We map each one, reconcile it to your sales reports and file on schedule.
What does it cost?
It depends on the number of locations, revenue streams and how much of the back office you hand us. We'll review your setup on a free call and quote a fixed monthly fee.
