Why good winery accounting isn’t cheap—and why that’s okay.
The wine industry is hurting right now. We see it every day. Sales are soft. Debt loads are high. Profitability is elusive. And yet, the work of running a winery—and keeping it financially healthy—has never been more complex.
If you're reading this as a winery owner or operator, you're probably juggling a dozen things at once: production planning, tasting room staffing, harvest logistics, DTC strategy, distributor relationships, cash flow crunches, maybe even family dynamics. It's a lot. And the last thing you need on top of all that is a financial mess—books in disarray, bills going unpaid, compliance filings slipping through the cracks, or financial reports that leave you more confused than informed. What you need is someone who’s got your back—bringing clarity, structure, and relief so you can stay focused on what matters.
That's where we come in.
Why It's Not Just Bookkeeping
When winery owners come to us, they usually know they need more than "just a bookkeeper." They've tried that—and things fell through the cracks or fell apart completely. Wineries are complicated. It takes more than a generalist to manage the finance function of such a nuanced operation.
Clients also come to us saying their previous bookkeepers were impossible to communicate with. They weren’t available, didn’t respond, or couldn’t explain what was happening. That’s a core issue—and one we care deeply about.
Inside our firm, we live by a mantra: We ACE communication—Accurate, Compassionate, and Efficient. We tell you the truth and make sure you understand it. We’re sensitive to your business and your style. And we strive to communicate clearly and directly, without burying you in jargon.
This is what sets us apart. We don’t just get your complex winery accounting done right—we prioritize relationships through the way we communicate with you. That’s at the core of what we offer.
It takes time. It takes skill. It takes context—an understanding of how wineries really work. And it takes heart.
Why We Can't Do It for Less
We know the pressure you're under. We feel it too. But we can't offer these services at bargain prices without compromising on the very things you rely on us for: quality, availability, accuracy, strategic support.
We've tried. We've underpriced ourselves in the past, thinking we could make it work. And what we found is that everyone loses: the client gets inconsistent service, the team burns out, and the financials still don't make sense.
So we made a decision: to price based on the capacity we need to reserve, the quality we want to deliver, and the long-term sustainability of our business—and yours.
Our Commitment
We're not the cheapest option. But we are a real partner. We know your industry. We speak your language. And we care deeply about helping you succeed.
If you're looking for someone to help you keep the lights on—and understand what your numbers are really telling you—we're here for that.
And if you're not quite ready yet, that's okay too. We'll still be here when you are.
