Accountant in the Cheese Cave
One of the more significant functions for any accountant is the accurate control of company assets. And probably the most important of those assets is the company’s inventory. This control is usually enhanced by periodic physical counts of the inventory items. My experience with physical inventory counts usually takes place in a massive manufacturing warehouse filled with thousands of dirty, used auto parts or tons of Kraft paper. This type of physical count is typically uncomfortable, dirty and smelly. Fortunately, the physical inventory count procedure at Artisanal Cheese is a remarkably pleasurable experience.
The best thing about counting inventory at Artisanal is the cleanliness and organization of the caves. Each of the five environmentally controlled caves is filled with easily accessible racks that help make the counting efficient and enjoyable. Trust me, it’s much better than climbing around on dirty warehouse racks in 100 degree Texas heat.
