Running a brewpub is about more than just making great beer—you need to keep your finances in check, too. Whether you’re just getting started, cleaning up a financial mess, or preparing to expand, Vast provides accounting services designed specifically for you.
Are rising ingredient costs eating into your profits? Is your staffing schedule causing you to overspend on labor? Running a brewpub means managing a lot of moving pieces, and without clear financial information, it’s easy to lose money without realizing it. At Vast CFO, we’ll help you track costs, identify where you’re overspending, and make your brewpub more profitable.
Tanya works hands-on with restaurant owners to turn financials into clear, actionable insight. With experience as both a restaurant operator and accountant, she’s reviewed thousands of P&Ls and helps owners catch problems early—before they become costly.
Starting a brewpub is exciting, but the financial setup matters more than most new owners realise. We help you get your books in order from day one setting up your business structure, separating production costs from taproom expenses, registering with the appropriate tax authorities, and setting up payroll for your team. A clean financial foundation at the start prevents the costly cleanup work that comes from getting it wrong.
Messy books, unclear profits, and cash flow issues can make running your brewpub feel impossible. We’ll help clean up your finances, create a clear budget, and track your performance. Whether it’s managing supplier costs or organizing your payroll, we’ll take the stress out of your numbers so you can focus on your beer and customers.
Thinking about opening a second brewpub or scaling up production? Expanding comes with big decisions, and we’re here to guide you through them. From planning cash flow for a new location to organizing your finances for growth, we’ll help you scale without losing control.
Managing costs like ingredient pricing, payroll for bartenders and kitchen staff, or seasonal cash flow can be overwhelming for brewpub owners. We handle the financial details, so you can focus on brewing great beer and creating an exceptional customer experience.
Balancing the books shouldn’t keep you up at night. We simplify everything, from tracking your cash flow during slower months to ensuring your brewery stays compliant with sales tax filings for beer and merchandise. With clear reporting, you’ll always know how much you’re earning, spending, and saving—without having to handle it all yourself.
Thinking about opening a second location or introducing a new beer line? Expansion is exciting, but it comes with risks. We’ll help you assess whether your cash flow can handle the added expenses, evaluate the profitability of a new product, or plan for the costs of equipment upgrades.
Yes — and your team goes beyond basic bookkeeping. A CFO reviews your monthly financials and tracks performance against your budget. A controller-level lead prepares your reports and serves as your main point of contact. A staff accountant handles day-to-day reconciliation and transaction categorisation. The same team works your account every month, so they know your brewpub’s numbers, seasonality, and history without you having to re-explain context each time.
As often as you need to. Brewpub questions do not follow a schedule — a supplier raises prices, a seasonal beer underperforms, a busy weekend creates a cash flow question. Reach out whenever something comes up, and you will hear back from someone who knows your operation and your numbers.
No matter where you are—just starting, getting organized, or planning to grow—Vast’s experienced brewpub accountants are here to help. Reach out to Vast CFO today to see how we can help.
