Financial Guidance for Growing Breweries

Craft breweries operate in a competitive industry where growth brings new financial, tax, and compliance considerations. From building a brand and managing day-to-day finances to planning an expansion or eventual succession, the decisions made along the way can have a lasting effect on the business.

Our professionals provide income and property tax, assurance, accounting, and consulting services to help breweries manage their financial and operational needs. This includes guidance on tax liability and state and federal compliance, along with client accounting and bookkeeping support that gives owners a clearer understanding of their numbers and helps inform business decisions.

Considerations for a Growing Brewery

As breweries grow, financial opportunities and risks can become more complex. Our team helps owners understand the issues that can affect profitability, compliance, and long-term plans, including:

Economic Incentives
New facilities, expansions, and relocations may qualify for grants, tax credits, abatements, and other incentives tied to investment and job creation.
Managing Growth
Rapid growth can put pressure on cash flow and operations. Thoughtful planning can help breweries grow at a sustainable pace.
Property Tax
Taxes on equipment, inventory, and real property can add up. Planning may uncover opportunities to manage valuations, reduce tax exposure, or take advantage of available abatements.
Regulatory Compliance
Producing and selling alcoholic beverages comes with industry-specific requirements in addition to broader state and federal tax obligations. We help breweries understand the financial and tax considerations that accompany those requirements.
Expansion & Transactions
Growth may mean a new location, additional financing, or a merger or acquisition. We help owners evaluate their options in the context of their financial position and long-term goals.
Energy Tax Incentives
Investments in qualifying energy-efficient or renewable energy improvements may provide access to federal or state tax incentives, including applicable energy-related deductions and credits.
State Nexus
Selling or operating across state lines can create new tax obligations, and nexus requirements vary by state. We help businesses identify where those obligations may arise as their reach expands.
