Wineries

The Mornington Peninsula is famous for green hinterlands full of boutique wineries offering cellar door experiences and wonderful restaurants. As glamorous as it may sound to own a winery, the ability to manage the business effectively and profitably is becoming increasingly difficult. Not only did the reduced WET rebate impact cashflow, but fluctuating economic conditions, and extreme weather all present a challenge to traditional business planning.

Managing cashflow for working capital, investment in state-of-the-art equipment and marketing your business seems to be a never-ending juggling act.

As an accounting firm with more winery clients than any other firm in the Mornington Peninsula region, our team understand the risks and opportunities unique to your industry. We take a strategic view of your operations and provide guidance and advice on a number of matters including:

✔   Accounting and tax compliance
✔   Cloud accounting & inventory management software implementation
✔   Wine equalisation tax (WET tax)
✔   Strategic taxation advice
✔   Structuring and restructuring

✔   Business management issues
✔   Cash flow and financing
✔   Exit and succession planning
✔   Estate planning


So whether you’re a family owned and operated winery or managed by a board of directors, SMART Business Solutions can provide clear, concise and relevant advice to help you succeed.
