A CPA With Deep Roots In Agriculture

Having grown up on a farm near Dinuba, Matthew J. Prieb has deep roots in agriculture and farming, and understands the intricate processes needed to sustain the wine industry. 

As California’s wineries and grocery stores increasingly prioritize cheaper, foreign sources over domestic producers, Prieb wants to help grape farmers like you mitigate the negative impact on jobs, finances, and the entire local supply chain.

According to a 2024 Wine Spectator article, between 30,000 and 40,000 acres of vines have been removed in the past year, and according to North Bay Business Journal, growers without purchase contracts are struggling to cover farming costs, with spot market prices often below the break-even point.

Prieb, CPA will look at their cash flow, operational costs, and the current market trends, then create a custom financial plan that rebuilds their vineyard’s profitability. He is also offering comprehensive financial management that involves income and expense tracking, quarterly financial adjustments, payroll and cost accounting, and compliance audits.

On top of that, Prieb’s proactive tax planning services will help grape farmers like you minimize liabilities, stay compliant with federal and California tax laws, and avoid expensive penalties.

Prieb has helped wineries and vineyards achieve their business goals through innovative business and tax solutions. Using a community-focused approach, Prieb hopes to inspire more support for local wines and American-made products, and urge more wineries and stores to invest in local grapes.
