Crafted Ledgers Information

Crafted Ledgers provides operator-level financial leadership for growing hospitality and craft beverage businesses, along with select CPG and founder-led companies facing similar operating complexity. The work is most useful when complexity has outpaced the financial structure supporting the business. Cash is harder to explain. Performance across locations, entities, products, or channels is harder to see. Accounting may be accurate but still not answer what ownership should do next. A consequential growth, capital, pricing, hiring, financing, location, or transition decision may be approaching. Crafted Ledgers helps ownership: - See the business clearly by connecting cash, margins, and performance to the questions that need answers. - Build the right financial rhythm so reviews produce decisions, clear ownership, and practical next steps. - Pressure-test what comes next by understanding the assumptions, cash impact, operating requirements, and downside before the business commits. There are three ways to start: - Finance Operating Review: clarify what is working, what is missing, which decisions are exposed, and what should be built next. - Ongoing Financial Leadership: establish a quarterly, monthly, or embedded cadence calibrated to the business’s complexity and decision exposure. - Growth & Capital Decision Support: pressure-test one consequential growth, capital, pricing, financing, location, or transition decision. Doug Cunningham spent a decade helping scale Denver Beer Company from one taproom into a multi-location production and hospitality business. He connects financial information to operating reality, finds the decision behind the noise, calibrates risk, and moves the right people toward a clear next step. Crafted Ledgers turns that operating lens into a repeatable delivery system. Finance is the lens. The business decision is the work.
