Running a sports complex, recreation center, or athletic club isn’t just about keeping the lights on and the players happy—it’s about keeping your books balanced, your staff paid, and your cash flow steady through every season.

That’s where Straight Talk CPAs come in.

CPA Services for Recreational Sports Facilities

Why Recreational Sports Facilities Need a CPA

Managing a recreation business goes far beyond field time and game schedules. The financial challenges can hit harder than a championship loss:

Seasonal Swings

Packed summers, quiet winters—cash flow needs a strategy, not luck.

Rising
Overhead

Utilities, maintenance, and insurance don’t take a break.

Payroll Puzzles

Coaches, referees, and part-time staff mean constant payroll changes.

Expansion Decisions

Adding new fields or programs sounds great—until the numbers say otherwise.

FAQs

  • What does a CPA firm actually do for a recreation or sports facility?

    We handle the financial side so you can focus on running the game. From bookkeeping and payroll to budgeting, forecasting, and compliance — we keep your facility financially strong all year long.


  • How is a CPA different from a bookkeeper for our type of business?

    A bookkeeper logs transactions. A CPA connects the dots. We turn your numbers into strategy — helping you cut costs, plan smarter, and make confident business moves that actually drive growth.


  • Can you help us track revenue from memberships, rentals, and events separately?

    Absolutely. We’ll organize your income streams — memberships, rentals, tournaments, sponsorships — so you can instantly see what’s profitable and what needs attention.


  • Do you handle payroll for part-time coaches, referees, and staff?

    Yes. We manage payroll, taxes, and contractor payments for everyone — coaches, refs, and seasonal staff — accurately and on time, every single pay cycle.


  • Can you help plan our financial growth or expansion?

    Definitely. We’ll help you model costs, forecast ROI, and map out expansion plans — whether it’s a new program, facility, or location — so you grow without stretching your cash flow thin.
