Distillery Accounting Software
Spirit Sight is distillery accounting software where the books are connected to the barrels. Instead of exporting operations into a separate accounting package, your general ledger is fed by the same activity that runs the distillery, so the financials always reflect what is actually in the rickhouse. It is accounting software for a distillery that already understands proof gallons, aging inventory, and excise tax.
In short: Distillery accounting software connects the books to the barrels: a full general ledger, AP, AR, and orders fed by the same activity that runs the distillery, producing a defensible cost per barrel and financials that reconcile to inventory. In Spirit Sight this is verified by automated reconciliation checks, so the books and the barrels are proven to agree.
A general ledger that knows your inventory
GL inventory asset equals the sum of barrel cost basis because the same events drive both. Reconciliation invariants keep operations and the books in agreement, and every posting runs through a configurable GL matrix rather than hardcoded accounts, so your chart of accounts reflects how your distillery is actually organized.
AP, AR, and orders included
Accounts payable with 3-way matching across purchase order, receipt, and bill, accounts receivable with cash application, purchase and sales orders, credit management with auto-hold, and dunning are all part of the platform, so procurement and receivables live in the same system as the ledger.
True cost per barrel and margin
FIFO cost layers and matrix-driven GL posting produce a defensible cost per barrel and margin by channel, including materials, labor, overhead, and angel's-share loss, so pricing and dump decisions rest on facts rather than a spreadsheet estimate.
Financial statements from live activity
A P&L, balance sheet, and cash-flow statement are generated from posted activity, with CSV and IIF export for your CPA. Because the reports read from the same data as production and compliance, month-end is a review rather than a rebuild, and the accuracy of every figure is guarded by automated checks that fail if debits and credits ever fall out of balance.
