Real experience, knowledge, and advice on tap.
Our focus is simple
We are a CPA Firm providing advisory, tax, and accounting services to keep your business growing and the beer flowing.
We enjoy craft beer and working with the industry to be a part of a collaborative team. Your business IS our business – whether it’s compliance, reporting, management/staffing issues, POS systems or all other operational issues that keep you up at night. Think of us as a non-equity partner with knowledge & advice on “tap” for your success.
We offer tailored plans for your unique business
We can provide growing and established businesses with experienced CFO/Controller-level talent on a fixed-price basis that can be more cost-effective than an employee. This allows you to use resources as needed, without adding unnecessary overhead costs. It also allows your accounting staff more potential for growth and development.
We recognize every business has it’s own needs and challenges. The following are examples of the different benefits and fixed-price structures we offer, so you can focus on your business without concern for a running time clock.
