Platform adds Finance à la Carte

Platform Advisors, the professional services arm of Platform Accounting Group, said Tuesday that Finance à la Carte, a boutique accounting firm specializing in the restaurant industry, has joined its Platform Business Advisors team. 

Launched in 2017, Finance à la Carte's services include running the day-to-day accounting and month-end reporting for restaurants, creating their financial reports, tax returns, recording sales, budgeting, forecasting and more. 

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. 

This is the third hospitality and restaurant-industry focused firm to join Platform Advisors this year. In July, Platform added Silver+Co, a New York-based firm that specializes in the restaurant and food service industry, along with labor and tax regulation in the service space. In August, it added HEB Business Solutions in Salt Lake City. Earlier this year, Platform acquired three firms in Oregon — James L. Shook CPA PC, Bjorklund & Montplaisir CPAs, and Parsons and Germer CPAs LLP. In 2023, it acquired and rebranded several firms in California, including Alpert & King, R.O.A.D., JHS, and Hamilton & Co. 

Finance à la Carte has one founder/partner and 16 staff members. Finance à la Carte owner MaryEllen Georgiadis has spent over two decades managing finance and operations in the hospitality and restaurant industries. Platform now has more than 900 employees, including 72 staff members at Platform Business Advisors.

"We are focused on making sure we have deep subject matter expertise within our network so we can service all of the various types of businesses and industries that need specific financial and accounting advisement," said Platform Accounting Group CEO Reyes Florez in a statement. "This acquisition brings a best-in-class restaurant-focused team with unmatched experience."
