Helping an Australian Restaurant Chain Achieve Compliance & Growth

The Opportunity

La Cocina, a family-run restaurant chain in Sydney, expanded to three outlets but was drowning in bookkeeping chaos and overdue sales tax filings. With hundreds of daily transactions, manual processes led to missed GST reporting deadlines and mounting compliance anxiety.

The Solution

 We began with sales tax compliance, registering and filing overdue GST returns. Once compliance was restored, La Cocina moved to bookkeeping and later added payroll management for 45 staff across locations.

The Impact

  • Brought the business back into full tax compliance within 60 days.

  • Recovered AUD $40,000 in unclaimed GST credits.

  • Automated payroll for 45 staff, saving management 25 hours monthly.

  • Created reliable financial statements, supporting a successful bank loan application for a fourth location

“Finaura rescued us from a compliance nightmare. What started as tax help quickly became full financial management. Today, I trust them with all our bookkeeping and payroll.”

Maria Lopez, Owner, La Cocina Restaurants (Australia)
