About Kary Shumway
My name is Kary Shumway. I’m a CPA, former CFO for a beer distributor and current CFO for Wormtown Brewery in Worcester, MA.
I’ve spent the last 20 years using finance to help improve financial results in our beer business. Now, I’m helping other craft breweries do the same.
“My latest financial training program has been developed on the Kajabi learning platform in order to deliver the easiest to use and using best practices for learning this content. I have designed this specifically for non-financial people who have the responsibility of either managing or contributing to the success of a beverage-related business such as breweries, beer wholesalers, cideries, distilleries, and cideries.”

"The class has allowed me to really dive deeper into the numbers and how to apply them accordingly. It's allowing me to make the necessary adjustments within our operations to make sure that we are running more efficiently and profitable. A lot of great insight that will make the transition into a bigger project less stressful. Thanks for offering such a great class."

Brewing delicious beer must be paired with strong financial management if a craft brewery is to succeed. This course provides a practical, easy-to-implement blueprint for managing the business, measuring progress, and keeping the cash flow moving. Plus, you’ll get great insider tips from Kary on working with bankers, improving margins, and growing the bottom line. In short, this is a great investment."
