Grace again! Today was the last day of the work experience, and it sure was a productive one! We learned more about the mathematical details of CRS, learning that they outfit about 75 countertops every day, with two slabs of granite per counter, along with 56 slabs per “container”. We also tackled some more invoices and purchasing details, making sure the paid invoice amounts were in order. I had lots of fun and learned so much!

My delicious lunch from the new Italian eatery in Brier Creek, Positalia!

Just some of the paperwork we filed 🙂
P.S. if you want to read up on how granite gets from mountaintop to countertop, take a look at this informative video CRS made! We learned all about it and it’s really informative and interesting:From Mountaintop to Countertop

(that’s the name of a popular, black granite type, by the way.) 
Grace again! Today was another paperwork day, where we went further back into the records and consolodated more delivery reports and invoices of previous months. Also, Charlene described to us the process of wholesaling, where she contacts the sellers and creates a business deal solely through email, arranging shipping, order amount, and transport. We learned the process of how the granite is purchased, displayed, and sold, and even got to walk through the warehouse following customers to see the process of picking out granite!

The beautiful warehouse itself, what a nice day!

The granites are impressive and beautiful, even from an amateur perspective. Vitoria Regis (the one in green in the picture) is one of my favorites!

Hey, Grace checking in today! After being gone Friday, Khushi and I are back with some more finance work at our location for this week, CRS Granite. A family owned granite wholesaler, we toured around the warehouse before settling in, spending the day engrossed in delivery reports, reciepts, and invoices. We organized, filed, and fact checked the numbers across the company’s expenditures, getting a taste of what bookkeeping was like at a small corporation. I had tons of fun and can’t wait for tomorrow!
