Thank you so much for a brilliant job done on taking on our accounting function with such tight timelines! I’m definitely impressed and happy that we decided to move this part of our business to The Bean Counter and looking forward to great service and advice in to the future.
The Bean Counter has been a fixture of downtown Picton since 2003. We proudly source local ingredients and serve friendly County hospitality year round. We offer quality espresso drinks, drip coffee, loose leaf tea, fresh baked goods, gelato, and made-to-order sandwiches every day. COVID update: Beancounter Coffeehouse & Drinkery has updated their hours, takeout & delivery options. 15 reviews of Beancounter Coffeehouse & Drinkery 'We are here visiting from Milwaukee and we wish this place was back home. Very nice atmosphere and the Carmel mocha was great! The coffee beans they sell benefits homeless dogs. We will be back every time we are in town.'
Just a quick note to tell you guys how much I love working with you. With your assistance not only has my financial knowledge increased but our company is definitely moving in the right direction. You have changed our system and it is working. I can actually sleep at night! I feel so much more confident having The Beancounter at my side every step of the way!

Moving over to The Beancounter, I never thought you could improve on anything. We were actually happy with our previous accountant. Now we are blown away. Deciding to partner with The Beancounter 2 years ago was our best business decision in 20 years.

PV BeanCounter (PVBC) is a software suite that allows you to capture your energy consumption and energy generation information. This information is stored in a local database and summaries of the collected information can be uploaded to PVOutput.org.
When summaries of your data are uploaded to PVOutput.org, you can review your consumption and generation information through a variety of graphical displays. The image below shows the PVOutput graph for consumption, generation and temperature on a selected day.
PV BeanCounter can:
- Take electricity generation readings from multiple inverters and energy meters
- Take electricity consumption readings from multiple energy meters
- Take electricity net export readings from one or more Dutch Smart Meters (import readings are recorded as negative export)
- Take gas consumption readings from one or more Dutch Smart Meters
- Calculate consumption readings by combining net export and inverter yield readings (multiple inverters if required)
- Combine generation and consumption readings from multiple sources for transmission to a single PVOutput 'System'
- Combine generation and consumption readings from multiple sources for transmission to multiple PVOutput 'Systems'
- Display instantaneous power readings on a set of desktop gauges
