In this episode, The Good Food CFO, Sarah Delevan breaks down the concept of cost of goods sold (COGS) and its importance in understanding the financial health of your business.
We explore the differences between accrual-based accounting and cash-based accounting, and how each method affects the calculation of COGS. We also clarify the distinction between unit COGS and business COGS, and the significance of knowing both.
Then Sarah shares the industry “rules” that she breaks, like including overhead in COGS and emphasizes the importance of keeping COGS elements separate.
You’ll hear:
Why the concept of cost of goods sold (COGS) is crucial for assessing the financial health of a business.
How accrual-based accounting and cash-based accounting have different implications for calculating COGS and understanding cash flow.
