Accounting Solutions Built for the Industries We Serve
Craft Beverage Manufacturers:
The craft beverage industry thrives on creativity and innovation, but financial precision is just as essential to success. At Absolute Numbers, we specialize in accounting solutions tailored to breweries, coffee roasters, and other beverage producers. We provide robust financial management, including inventory control, production tracking, cost allocation, and regulatory compliance, ensuring your operations remain efficient and profitable. Navigating the complexities of managing wholesale and retail operations, optimizing sales strategies, and maintaining compliance with industry regulations requires a strong financial infrastructure. While many solutions rely on standardized software platforms, traditional bookkeeping practices, or broad financial consulting that may not fully align with a business’s unique needs, our team delivers tailored accounting solutions that enhance financial visibility, improve cost management, and support sustainable growth. By combining deep industry expertise with customized strategies, we provide proactive insights and hands-on support that go beyond traditional, one-size-fits-all approaches.
What our clients are saying!
"I've known Carolyn Jones since 2023 when she started managing the accounting for my brewpubs, Jupiter and Triple Rock Brewing, in Berkeley. In 2008, when we purchased Drake's Brewing Co, we had 4 employees plus Carolyn. She started the books from scratch when there was little guidance available on setting up the bookkeeping system for a craft brewery. Her management of the accounting helped us grow Drake's over the next 7 years until we graduated to our own in-house accounting department. After 20+ years, Absolute Numbers still oversees my other businesses. Their Expertise in restaurant accounting management and experience with craft breweries make them an asset to any small business in this industry and I highly recommend Absolute Numbers."
—John Martin, Jupiter Beer & Restaurant, Triple Rock Brewing Company
"Absolute Numbers has been integral in helping us grow into a thriving craft brewery and successful business. I can sincerely give them the highest of recommendations. Carolyn Jones and her team have been extremely valuable assets to us over the years and we have come to depend on them for a broad range of responsibilities. Absolute Numbers has come to handle everything from collections, bookkeeping and GL management, to financial statement analysis and cash flow. They manage all our tax reporting and payments (local, sales, state, federal, license and permits). Overall, Carolyn and her team handle virtually all of our financially-related day to day operations, and have grown with us from a $400k annual revenue business to a $7M year business. Their team is prompt and responsive when we reach out. Switching to Absolute Numbers freed me from having an expensive full-time controller/bookkeeper on staff - the savings were considerable. But even more than that, Carolyn is very easy to work with, her positive attitude makes it easy to genuinely enjoy working with the Absolute Numbers team. "
—Damian Fagan, Co-Founder/CEO of Almanac Beer Co.
"As a craft brewery, managing our finances can be a complex and time-consuming task. But with Absolute Numbers on our team, we are able to rest easy knowing our numbers are in expert hands. The team at Absolute Numbers has a deep understanding of the unique financial needs of the craft beer industry and has provided us with tailor-made accounting solutions. Their dedication to customer service and their ability to provide timely and accurate financial reports has been instrumental in the success of our business. We highly recommend Absolute Numbers to any craft brewery looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable accounting partner."
—Justin Catalana, CEO & Co-Founder of Fort Point Beer Co.
"I knew Carolyn long before we started Faction Brewing and sought her help when the time came to start our own brewery. She has been essential in getting our books set up properly for inventory management, preparing brewery tax rports, tackling sales tax for our tasting room, and reviewing our financials at the end of the year. I can't imagine what a headache this all would have been to figure out on our own!"
—Claudia Pamparana, Owner & Operations Manager of Faction Brewing Company
