Assessing Need

We look at your assets from several different points of view. Views that include operational, financial, internal controls, safety/security, policies & procedures, team members and the guest perspective. This enables us to provide you with cost-effective solutions that have a positive impact on your bottom line, reduce turnover and improve your guest satisfaction scores.

Hotel Owners & Investors

How do you know the management company you hired is truly looking out for your best interests? How do you know they have the controls in place to help achieve your hotels' maximum NOI? Have you ever seen their internal audit? Do you know who is performing the audit?

Many hotel management companies don't do internal audits or don't have a designated "Internal Auditing Department". That means the individuals who perform the audits have other corporate accounting responsibilities. They aren't up to speed with current industry best practices or trends. This costs you money! Approximately 4-5% of the revenues.

Did you know that most management agreements allow owners/investors to hire an independent auditor? If yours doesn't...it should.

A CPA only looks at the balance sheet... we look much deeper. We look at their spending. We look at their culture. We look to see if they have implemented operational industry "best practices". Their failure in doing so can cost you thousands of dollars.

We have experience in providing hotel owners/investors with an unbiased, fair picture of their investment along with recommendations for improving the overall value of it.

No CPA or audit firm has conducted more hotel specific audits in the last 20 years than Bleser & Associates.

Insurance

For the past 20 years as a self-employed business owner, I never thought much about my health insurance. All I cared about was how much my monthly premium was. Why should I care about anything else? My kids were healthy, I was healthy. That all changed during the great snow-apocalypse. My son was diagnosed with Crohn's and subsequently spent 4 days in the hospital. I was lucky! I didn't know it then but it turned out that I had really good health insurance.

But while in the hospital the questions I had, the thoughts that ran through my head, the feelings I had, motivated me to get my insurance license. I don't want anyone to feel alone when an unexpected medical emergency arises. We now offer individual, family and small group health insurance plans.

The only time I thought of life insurance was when my first son was born. I knew I needed something. No one educated me on my options were. I wish someone had. The next time I thought about 15 years later while having dinner in San Francisco. I got a call from a colleague informing me that the first person I had ever hired passed away unexpectedly at the age of 62. I had talked to him 5 hours prior.

My friend and my colleague didn't have life insurance. His family had to start a "Go Fund Me" account. No family should have to do that. We offer life insurance products that meet our clients' needs, budget and protects them and their families for when the unexpected happens. It gives our clients peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How do you increase the value of my hotel or restaurant?

Studies have shown that businesses lose about 6% of their revenue each year to associate fraud. These same studies show that by having a strong internal control environment, this number can be reduced in half. We design internal audit programs / internal control reviews that strengthen internal controls in a cost-effective manner.
