Costing Book Checklist Course

Understanding the true cost of your wine can be a daunting experience. It’s also one that you must get right if you expect to run a profitable business.

The Costing Book Checklist Course gives you step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the costing book. The Costing Book is an Excel Workbook that uses the figures in QuickBooks (or any accounting program) so that the total costs match QuickBooks. There are many different “costing books” but what makes this one unique is that it ties to the Balance Sheet. This is the only way to confirm that you have calculated the cost correctly.

This course is designed for non-accounting professionals and for accounting professionals who are new to the wine industry. The only qualification is that you have to be comfortable with Excel, but the formulas are straightforward (there are just a lot of them).

What is in the course:

The Overview – How to calculate the True Cost of your wine

  • What is a costing pool? Barrel-gallon?
  • What expenses should be allocated to winemaking
  • How to lay out the costing book using 3 sample wineries
  • How to quickly estimate a wine you are considering selling
  • True Cost (GAAP) versus Tax Cost
  • Over 2 hours of lessons, broken into easy-to-digest lessons

The Checklists – What to do step-by-step to update the costing book

  • Ten checklists for each phase of the costing book with accompanying videos
  • Based on the checklists we use for our clients
  • How to layout the depreciation schedule
  • How to calculate the finished wine

Lifetime access

You will do many of the steps in this process once a year, so it is easy to forget how to do them. So with Lifetime Access, you can revisit the lessons every year. Also, the winemaking tends to get more complicated as a winery grows. You might not need all of the lessons today, but you will need them in a few years.
