Protea specializes in removing burdens and responsibilities of finding, managing, and training an accountant or bookkeeper.

5 Things to Know about R&D Tax Credits for Vineyards and Wineries
R&D is often associated with technology and life science companies from Silicon Valley and San Francisco, but head less than 100 miles north into wine country, or any other appellation across the United States
The Importance of Product-Specific Costings
We have seen wineries set prices incorrectly (and not maximize profit), waste precious working capital on production on their less-profitable wines, and lose money on wines because they set marketing and programming budgets using a simple average cost, rather than a product-specific cost.
What are the differences between a Bookkeeper, a Management Accountant, and a Tax Accountant?
Many of our clients ask us why we talk about bookkeepers, management accountants, and tax accountants, and not just accountants.
