Breweries & Manufacturing Accountants


Over the last few years the brewery industry has been booming with more craft beers and manufacturers on the rise. In 2020 alone there was a 7.5% growth in the field compared to the previous year.

While manufacturing has been around for centuries, entrepreneurs are taking a contemporary approach to how their companies are run, and Virgate is the perfect companion to serve up success with our approach to accounts.

Industries

Virgate collaborate with other food and drink manufacturers, as well as independent homeware businesses that are looking for a finance team that will fit around you.

Breweries and drinks manufacturers are finding new routes into the market with e-commerce sales made direct to customers and clients. They are taking control of their output and pouring in their own sales tactics with customised solutions that are tailor made by our dedicated team. In the UK there are over 2,500 breweries and Virgate has assisted multiple sites and independent manufacturers with their entire financial department with daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly services that best suits them.

SMEs in other food and drink industries, as well as homeware, are also witnessing an increase in the demand for high-quality goods as customers are looking to support new businesses. Our sophisticated systems can link in with manufacturing databases and integrate your inventory output to a clear and consistent set of numbers that make sense. This includes bringing together programmes such as Xero and Unleased for a greater outcome that our dedicated team will be able to deliver.
