Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, under the ownership of Adair Paterno, is a modest yet bold brewery located in Santa Cruz County, California. Rustic Ales has gained recognition for crafting barrel-aged beers that are both accessible and traditional, while maintaining their rich flavor and unique character.
They have been a fantastic client of AccountingDepartment.com since 2018.
The Challenge
Adair encountered significant obstacles in her efforts to hire a full-time, in-house accounting team for her business, which was a critical need given the complexity and scale of operations at Sante Adairius Rustic Ales.
The absence of dedicated accounting professionals led to a cascade of financial management issues, most notably the disorganization of financial records. This disarray resulted in inaccurate financial reporting, which obscured a clear and comprehensive understanding of the brewery's financial health. Such inaccuracies not only hindered the ability to assess the company's current financial standing but also posed substantial challenges in securing necessary loans.
Without precise financial data, Adair struggled to present a compelling case to potential lenders, thereby limiting access to capital that was crucial for the brewery's expansion and operational needs. Furthermore, the lack of reliable financial insights impeded Adair's ability to make informed, strategic decisions that were essential for driving the business's annual growth and ensuring its long-term success in a competitive market.
The Solution
After transitioning to AccountingDepartment.com, Adair Paterno's business has experienced significant growth and prosperity, culminating in the successful expansion to three distinct locations.
This remarkable achievement is largely attributed to the expertise and dedication of the ADC team, who possess an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of her business operations. They have adeptly distinguished between the retail and manufacturing components of her brewery, providing tailored financial insights that are crucial for each segment. By enabling her to gain a detailed and precise comprehension of the cost of goods sold on a monthly basis, down to each specific ingredient, ADC has empowered her to accurately determine her profit margins for every glass of beer produced.
This granular level of financial insight has been instrumental in facilitating her strategic acquisition of another local brewery, PWG, which she now successfully operates with the continued support and guidance of ADC. This partnership has not only enhanced her operational efficiency but also positioned her business for sustained growth and success in the competitive brewing industry.
