Accounting for Manufacturers

Having an accountant who understands your manufacturing business can provide you with significant benefits.

The truth is, running a manufacturing business in Australia is tough given the high labour costs not to mention the need to manage inventory and costs, track customer orders, manage pending builds and assemblies plus identify which orders have shipped. If you import components or export your finished goods you also face the volatility of the Australian dollar.

We have helped a number of manufacturers through the various stages of their business life cycle and can provide you with a range of accounting, tax and business coaching services to support and grow your business. If you need help with job costing, pricing, break even analysis or management accounting services we can assist you. We also use industry benchmarks to compare your business performance against your peers to help you assess what is working in your business and what needs working on.

No job is too big or small for our team and we will help you understand the key profit drivers in your manufacturing business. You need to know your business numbers including your pricing and margins so your financials are more meaningful. All business owners need to budget, plan, and monitor their business' performance and we know the pitfalls of manufacturing in this country.

We look forward to working with you to build your manufacturing business and grow your wealth and for more information about our services contact us today.
