Cost accounting that lifts the whole plant.
Standard costing, BOM control, WIP tracking and plant P&L for manufacturers — turning shop-floor data into board-level insight.
Where manufacturing finance actually breaks.
We designed our practice around the everyday realities operators in this sector wrestle with.
Recipe / BOM complexity
Multi-level bills of materials with variable input costs.
WIP & finished-goods valuation
Inventory sitting across shop floor, warehouse and depot.
Machine downtime & yield
Financial impact of downtime often invisible to the CFO.
FX and imported inputs
Naira-denominated selling with dollar-denominated costs.
What happens when it's left unattended.
These are the failure modes we most commonly find in the first 30 days of every diagnostic.
Margin erosion
Input-cost swings absorbed silently by the P&L.
Inventory misstatement
WIP and finished-goods values quietly drift from reality.
Working-capital lock-up
Cash trapped in unreconciled inventory positions.
Tax exposure
Excise, VAT and WHT missteps on complex product lines.
