CFO 1 Source

CFO 1 Source is an accountant in New Orleans, LA, specializing in financial guidance for the hospitality sector. The firm serves restaurants, bars, music clubs, and boutique hotels, providing audit, bookkeeping, and outsourced CFO consulting services. Its focus is on industry-specific financial analysis and cost control to help these businesses maximize profitability and manage complex operational challenges.

Founded in 2001 by Margaret Bruzdzinski, CFO 1 Source was among the first business advisory and accounting firms to specialize exclusively in the restaurant industry. The firm’s approach is proactive rather than merely processing numbers, aiming to form a partnership with clients by providing a complete picture of business performance. The team of business advisors and accountants offers expertise in banking relationships, payroll, sales tax, insurance negotiations, and federal and state programs. They also advise on critical financial tools and software to help clients implement technology that supports competitive advantage. Specific services include cash flow analysis and structuring, inventory management, food cost control, labor cost optimization, and the creation of business plans. For smaller foodservice and hospitality businesses that cannot justify a full-time CFO salary, the firm provides fractional CFO services, delivering the strategic knowledge of a chief financial officer on an as-needed basis.

The office is located at 8311 Oak Street, sitting on the road itself, which is about 0.1 miles from the property. It is situated near South Carrollton Avenue, approximately 0.2 miles away.
