Between raw materials, overhead, production costs, and shifting supplier prices — understanding your real margins is complex. We help you track COGS accurately, analyse profitability by product line, and price with confidence — so you can scale without guessing.
Most manufacturers run on gut feel when it comes to costing and margins. Here's where it usually breaks down.
You know roughly what raw materials cost, but true COGS — including labour, overhead allocation, wastage, and yield loss — is a guess. You're pricing products without knowing what they actually cost to make.
Supplier prices have crept up, energy costs are through the roof, and your sale prices haven't moved. Your margins are being squeezed from every direction — but you can't quantify which product lines are bleeding.
Work in progress and finished goods inventory are sitting on the floor tying up hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cash is locked up in stock instead of in your bank account.
You sell 50 products but you have no idea which 10 make all the money and which 10 are barely breaking even. Without per-product profitability, every pricing and production decision is a gamble.
Nine services designed for the realities of running a production business — from BOM costing to BAS, R&D incentives to cash flow forecasting.
We track your true cost of goods sold — raw materials, direct labour, overhead allocation, and wastage — by product line and by production run. No more guesswork on what it actually costs to make each product.
Know which product lines are your margin winners and which are dragging your average down. We break down profitability at the product level so you can make informed pricing and production decisions.
We help you track inventory levels, value work in progress accurately, and optimise stock holding — so your cash isn't locked up in raw materials and finished goods collecting dust.
Large material purchases, production cycles, and lumpy customer payments make cash flow unpredictable. We build rolling forecasts so you can plan purchases and production without running dry.
Forward-looking tax planning, R&D Tax Incentive guidance, and business structure review to protect personal assets and optimise your tax position as you scale production.
Your books are updated daily. Supplier payments managed. BAS lodged on time. Payroll handled. You run the production floor — we run the numbers.
Accurate bills of materials are the foundation of accurate costing. We help you structure your BOMs in Xero or your inventory system so every component, sub-assembly, and labour input is captured.
We build dynamic costing models that flex with input prices, so you can re-price proactively when supplier costs rise — and protect your margins before they disappear.
Shift loadings, overtime, manufacturing awards and Single Touch Payroll handled end-to-end. Your factory floor team gets paid accurately and on time, every cycle.
