[ Industry advisory · Tourism & accommodation ]

Strategic advisory for tourism and accommodation operators.

Tourism and accommodation operators live inside seasonality, capex cycles and a labour market that doesn't pause. RevPAR, occupancy, labour cost and refurbishment timing are the real levers — and most operators don't see them clearly until the off-peak hits. We help operators run through the cycle, not against it.

[ What we hear, again and again ]

The pressures inside tourism & accommodation operators.

These questions need the business’s information and circumstances to be understood. They are not, on their own, evidence of the cause or the right solution.

  • 01Seasonal revenue swings creating cash and tax stress through the off-peak
  • 02ADR and RevPAR drift not picked up until the season is already underway
  • 03Labour cost and casual staffing eroding margin during quieter weeks
  • 04Refurbishment and capex cycles funded reactively rather than planned
  • 05OTA commission, channel mix and direct booking economics rarely fully understood

[ How we work ]

What the accounting and advisory work can cover.

  1. 01

    Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR reviewed at an agreed frequency against forward booking pace

  2. 02

    Labour cost and rostering tied to real occupancy, not historical patterns

  3. 03

    Cash and tax provisioning planned across peak and off-peak deliberately

  4. 04

    Capex and refurbishment cycle modelled against payback and competitive position

  5. 05

    Channel mix and OTA commission reviewed against direct booking economics

[ The numbers that matter ]

Measures that help owners understand performance.

Not a long list — the handful of numbers that, watched consistently, change how the business is run.

  • 01

    Occupancy %

    Rooms / sites sold vs available, by month and channel

  • 02

    ADR and RevPAR

    Average daily rate and revenue per available room / site

  • 03

    Labour as % of revenue

    Through peak and off-peak — the seasonal lever

  • 04

    Channel margin

    Direct vs OTA vs wholesale, after commission

  • 05

    Cash cover for off-peak

    Months of operating cost held against quiet months

[ Across the year ]

Through the year — not just a tax-time call.

These are possible review topics, not a standard calendar. We agree the work, reporting and meeting frequency for your business. Agreed actions have clear responsibilities and are followed up.

  • 01

    Occupancy, ADR / RevPAR and labour cost review

  • 02

    Pre-season cash, pricing and forward booking conversation

  • 03

    Tax, capex and asset planning around the off-peak window

  • 04

    Long-term strategy — refurbishment cycle, capital and succession

[ The honest line ]

Tourism operators who plan deliberately across the cycle weather the quiet months and capitalise on the busy ones. We help build the financial discipline that makes the cycle work for the business — not against it.

[ The next conversation ]

Run the season — and plan the cycle.

Bring the messy stuff. The numbers, the pressures, the decisions you've been putting off. The first conversation is structured, candid and obligation-free.
