About us

Consulting dedicated to the numbers of hospitality

I help hotels, campsites, non-hotel accommodation and multi-property groups read their accounts with the international USALI standard, so decisions rest on clear, comparable data.

Profile

I am an independent management control consultant for the accommodation sector. I work alongside managers, owners and partners to turn the books into a management tool: numbers organised by department, indicators always calculated the same way, and reports you can read in a few minutes.

The reference is USALI (Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry), the international standard the hotel industry uses to measure revenue, costs and results. I adapt it to each client: from a single B&B to a seasonal campsite, up to a group with several companies and properties. No needless theory: just a practical approach focused on decisions.

Who I work with

Every type of property has its own key figures. I adapt the scheme without losing comparability.

Hotels

Departmental income statement, industry KPIs and a constant comparison with the previous year and the budget.

Campsites

A scheme adapted to pitches and accommodation units, using opening days to read seasonality correctly.

B&Bs and non-hotel accommodation

A few essential indicators to see how the property performs, without weighing down day-to-day management.

Multi-property groups

Allocation of shared costs across properties and companies, an income statement per property and a group view.

How I work

A direct point of contact

Whoever sets up the work also follows it every month, knows your numbers and answers directly.

Practical approach

A few clear numbers, every month, to make decisions: no needless theoretical digressions.

No change of software

I work on exports from the programs your property already uses.

Same rules for everyone

Every property is read with the USALI scheme, so comparisons are fair.

One meeting a month

To understand together what the numbers say and which actions to take.

Confidentiality

Your property's data stays confidential and is used only for the engagement.

Where I work

I work on site with properties in four regions of Northern Italy, with meetings at your premises. I also work remotely with properties anywhere in Italy: data, reports and monthly meetings are easily handled online. The first meeting is always free and without obligation: at your premises in Lombardy, online via Microsoft Teams in other regions.
