Glass & Ledger was born out of Entreflow Consulting Group, an award-winning, licensed CPA public practice and boutique advisory firm based in Vancouver, BC. Named a Top 50 Cloud Accountant in North America and holding Elite Status with Intuit QuickBooks, Entreflow has built a reputation for helping hundreds of inventory-heavy, complex businesses scale efficiently.

Working closely with craft producers, we saw a recurring challenge: traditional accounting firms rarely understand the nuances of fermentation timelines, barrel aging, juice loss, and complex multi-channel distribution. Generalist bookkeepers often miss true Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), leaving owners with distorted margins and unexpected tax adjustments at year-end.

Glass & Ledger was established to solve this exact problem. By combining Entreflow’s proven financial frameworks with deep craft beverage domain knowledge, we provide winemakers, head brewers, and investor-owners with real-time financial control—from cellar to balance sheet.
