Client Spotlight: Dorchester Brewing Co.

Dorchester Brewing Co (DBCo) is an innovative brewery model that pairs community building, entrepreneurship, and beer hand-in-hand. Located on Mass Ave in Dorchester, DBCo hosts a popular tap room and patio for beer lovers, as well as a turnkey opportunity for local craft brewers to produce, package, store, and market their beer on site.

The brewery opened its doors in July 2016. With its many moving parts and simultaneous operations (retail sales, inventory, payroll), the co-owners quickly realized that outsourcing the accounting would help them achieve growth more efficiently and quickly. Tristan CPA made an impact on their systems immediately by setting-up a modular accounting platform for DBCo, hand-picking the apps that could effectively process, record, and track all of the operations and transactions.

"Tristan CPA has been instrumental in helping us create and maintain accounting systems that will provide the Dorchester Brewing management team with financial clarity and oversight for years to come."   - Travis Lee, DBCo. Co-founder

DBCo relies on Square to manage retail sales in the tap room, Bill.com for paying all of their bills, and SOS Inventory to manage beer inventory. All three of these applications integrate directly into QuickBooks Online, creating a streamlined accounting flow. This helps free the owners up to focus on what they do best -- providing the highest quality beer and facilities to their community. Says co-founder, Travis Lee: "Tristan CPA has been instrumental in helping us create and maintain accounting systems that will provide the Dorchester Brewing management team with financial clarity and oversight for years to come."
