Costing / Internal Billing / Pricing

Proper costing must necessarily be adapted to your organizational and operational reality. There are a good number of costing methods: Standard, by process, by activities, target costing, theory of constraints and so on. Not all costing techniques may apply well to your context. What we are looking for, among other things, with a good cost price is to also understand how costs behave. Basically, a good costing system should give you the story of your products/services.

This is why we offer a series of diagnostic-type analyses, allowing you to quickly assess what suits you best. We can help you refine it using simple techniques that will fit within your existing systems. If necessary, this analysis can continue with the establishment of an architecture and a more global vision.

Product Portfolio and Capacity Analysis

With the DNA of many entrepreneurs, saying no to a client is often very difficult. This is why over the years, a proliferation of products and services are added within a company. But at what cost ? It is not uncommon to see your sales increase but at the same time, profits stagnate or even reduce. Not to mention that the available capacity is becoming less and less available. This is a sign that it is necessary to review your products/services portfolio and find the path to regain profitability at the desired level, while freeing up time.

With a good review of your costing and a good understanding of your products/services, it will be possible to make a profitable cleanup.

Budget process

A budget should be a dynamic tool allowing you to do as many scenarios as desired. A budget is basically just a scenario… The main challenge of a budget is its acceptance. As long as a budget does not correctly reflect operations and managers are not closely linked and accountable, it quickly becomes obsolete and cast aside. Basically, it will probably be used for financial purposes and not management…

Other aspects that make budgets unattractive for managers is the amount of effort to put in. Very often we are out of breath at the end of the process. Not to mention the feedback time and the flexibility of it to adapt with real data. All of this means that the information is often outdated and/or incomplete.

We firmly believe that an effective budget requires a good understanding of your costing. Costing must be the final assembly of all the costs found in a budget. If the budget is well designed and structured, it will be easier to integrate costing into the budget. Thus, in the scenario process, the budget and costing will work hand in hand and you will even be able to produce in-depth variance analysis against actuals and even scenarios.

BI (Data Analysis)

Getting a data analysis tool is quite simple. Finding the right data to analyze is another story… We can help you define or complete your data center for better analysis efficiency.
