The Weekly A/P: Transforming Ingredients into Intel
In this Accounting for Taste session, Kristen Nies Ciraldo, Founder of Math for Food, explores how restaurant accounting professionals can transform weekly accounts payable workflows into valuable financial insights. Discover how vendor invoices can provide early warning signs of rising food costs, why credit card transactions, unapplied credits, and inconsistent client habits complicate A/P processing, and how to distinguish meaningful exceptions from costly inefficiencies. Learn how to evaluate the reliability of your workflows, improve cost of goods sold (COGS) visibility, and turn routine bookkeeping into more informed restaurant advisory conversations.
