About
At QB Winery Solutions, we develop online courses that will allow you to overcome the financial complexities of running a winery so that you can get back to what you love: making great wine.
QB Winery Solutions was created by Jeanette Tan. This is her journey from small business owner and reluctant bookkeeper to QuickBooks expert and small winery advocate.
Winery owners and managers need to know how to organize their QuickBooks, calculate True Cost, read their financials, and be strategic about their business. The industry’s seasonality also needs to be accounted for, which is why we give our Silver Club members support around the year.
