My company just announced they are offshoring our entire AP and AR department to India next month. They told the rest of the finance team that this will free us up for higher-level analysis, but we all know it just means we’ll be spending all day fixing their mistakes. Eventually getting laid off. I’m worried that Senior Accountant roles are next on the chopping block. How are you guys staying indispensable?

The 'indispensable' move here is to become the person who manages the offshore relationship and the data flow, rather than the person who does the manual entries. If you can prove you’re the only one who can translate the messy output from the offshore team into a clean month-end close, you’ve basically secured your seat until the next restructuring.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
