See what your numbers can tell you.
Understand the mix
Which events earn their place?
Compare revenue and delivery costs in a consistent framework. Then consider the contribution each event type makes and the capacity it uses.
Contribution is revenue left after variable delivery costs. Fixed costs still need to be covered.

See the timing ahead
A full calendar still needs a cash plan.
Look at when customer money arrives and when the bills fall due. A 13-week cash forecast brings collections, payments, and planned uses of cash into one view.
The period-end balance is one part of the story. The weekly forecast identifies the low point along the way.

Test the decision
What would a price change actually add?
Model the effect on contribution, then test what could change: conversion, event volume, delivery costs, and the timing of collections.
This scenario assumes all 50 events accept the increase. A change in sales or costs would change the result.

Choose your level of support
One accounting foundation.
Three ways to work together.
From information to action
Close the books. Read the business.
Decide what comes next.
A dependable accounting foundation, a clear explanation of performance, and the financial guidance your engagement calls for.
01
Close the books.
We run the agreed accounting workflow, reconcile the records, and prepare the monthly financial reports.
02
Read the business.
Understand what changed, what your events contributed, and how profit differs from cash.
03
Decide what comes next.
Our CFO engagements add maintained forecasts and structured support for pricing, staffing, spending, and growth decisions.
Working together
Built around the business behind your venue.
We work with established US wedding and event venues that want a consistent financial process. Revenue is part of the fit assessment, but complexity, current support, and the decisions ahead matter too.
Venue CFO was founded by Jeff Greene to bring accounting and financial guidance together for wedding and event venues. The focus is practical: understandable numbers, dependable processes, and decisions with a financial basis.
Meet Venue CFOWho handles the accounting?
Your engagement identifies the accounts, systems, work, and reporting schedule we manage. We perform the accounting rather than waiting for another accountant to send us finished books.
Your staff can continue collecting documents, maintaining operational information, and approving transactions within the agreed process. You retain the business decisions and approvals.
How do we get started?
We begin by agreeing on scope and price, reviewing your systems and records, and assigning responsibilities. Launch establishes the accounting treatment, reporting definitions, and timetable. CFO engagements also establish the forecasts and decision agenda.
Historical cleanup or a major migration is quoted separately. You know what the first reporting cycle will include before work begins.
What about payroll and taxes?
Payroll accounting is included. Payroll administration is available as a separately scoped addition. Your payroll provider performs its contracted payroll and employment-tax functions.
Income-tax work remains with your tax adviser. Sales and beverage tax filings are handled by a separately engaged specialist. We provide the agreed accounting information and reconcile the named balances and payments.
Do we need Tripleseat?
No. We have particular experience with Tripleseat and assess other systems before agreeing on scope.
Can we keep our tax accountant?
Yes. We do not replace your tax adviser with an income-tax preparation service.
Can we buy reporting without ongoing CFO advice?
Yes. Finance & Insights includes managed accounting and reporting without the larger forecasting and advisory scope.
Do you work with restaurants?
Our focus is wedding and event venues, rather than regular restaurant operations. Catering and bar service delivered as part of hosted events fit our approach. For businesses with related operations, we define what belongs in the engagement before proposing the work.
Pricing
Clear scope.
A fixed monthly fee.
Your fixed quote reflects the agreed work and your venue’s complexity. Launch and any additional operational services are scoped separately.
