(Video + closed caption available on YouTube)

In this episode I am joined by CPA and Business Finance Coach, Melissa Houston. Together they are covering the elements of building a solid financial foundation for your food business.

In this episode of The Good Food CFO Podcast we discuss… 

  • The difference between a bookkeeper + accountant, and the benefits of working with both.

  • Benefits of outsourcing bookkeeping and working with a bookkeeper

  • The value of being able to interpret the financial data of your business, and ‘Big 3’ Reports 

  • When you should be requesting your monthly financials from your bookkeeper, and why timely reports are critical to financial success

  • The importance of Categorizing your financial data correctly (and the consequences when it’s not)

  • Budgets! Why Melissa (and I) believe you should have one, how frequently you should review it, and the biggest benefits of utilizing one. 

This episode is packed with helpful info no matter where you are in the life of your food business!
