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).
