Accounting, Tax, and CFO Services for Recreational Sports Facilities

If you’re running a sports complex, community league, or recreation center, chances are your days are spent coordinating games, managing teams, and keeping operations on track — not diving into spreadsheets. But when payroll, taxes, and budgets pile up, the pressure gets real.

That’s exactly where Straight Talk CPAs step in.

We help recreational sports facilities bring order to the financial chaos — streamlining operations, reducing tax headaches, and building growth plans that keep your business running like a well-trained team.

The Financial Side

of Running a Recreation Facility

Running a recreational sports facility isn’t just about schedules and turf maintenance — it’s a full-contact business behind the scenes. The financial challenges are relentless:


  • Seasonal swings. Packed summers, slow winters — cash flow hits highs and lows you can feel.

  • Heavy overhead. Insurance, utilities, maintenance, staffing — the bills never take a timeout.

  • Payroll puzzle. Coaches, refs, part-timers, concessions — it’s a lineup that complicates every pay cycle.

  • Growth uncertainty. Expanding? Adding new programs? You need to know your numbers before you commit.

  • Tax confusion. Between sponsorships and facility upgrades, one wrong move could mean costly penalties.

That’s why working with a CPA who actually understands recreation operations isn’t a luxury — it’s a competitive advantage. We simplify your financial playbook, protect your margins, and keep your facility running efficiently throughout the year.

FAQs

  • Can I deduct facility maintenance, upgrades, or equipment purchases?

     Yes. Most upgrades and equipment qualify as deductions or depreciable assets. We’ll ensure you claim every eligible expense.


  • Do I need to restructure to work with you?

    Usually, no. But if restructuring saves taxes or protects your assets, we’ll show you the smartest path.


  • How can I manage seasonal cash flow dips?

    We design cash flow plans that balance off-season lows and busy peaks — so payroll and bills stay steady.


  • Do I charge sales tax on memberships, leagues, or rentals?
