Clients are surprised to hear that every dollar of cost savings typically provides the same profit boost as three dollars of new sales.
In our experience, companies that focus on cost improvement before a cash flow crisis have the time and bandwidth to improve profits significantly. Tuning up your existing cost accounting system–or implementing one for the first time–will help give you better clarity about your product or service costs, and be the perfect launching point for identifying potential savings. Activities we can help you with, include:

QuickBooks Consulting
As a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, David Rudofsky can set your business up to make optimal use of QuickBooks, by: recommending the correct version for your needs, developing a chart of accounts appropriate for your business, and pointing out powerful QuickBooks features. He can also train your capable bookkeeper or office manager to make the fullest use of QuickBooks to shed light on your product or service costs.

Budgeting
Using budgets to analyze monthly, or quarterly, results will allow you to identify discrepancies in sales trends, material costs, and payroll –and make the necessary corrections. In addition, if you are managing a business to a budget, you are more likely to know if you have spending availability to seize upon new business opportunities when it comes up. We can help you both create initial budgets and analyze results vs. budget.

Purchasing Practices
Attaining purchasing savings requires finding viable alternative sources of supply for your highest spend items, and getting competitive quotes at regular intervals. We can guide you through the needed steps for many items, and refer to top professionals with deep expertise to purchase more specialized items, such as natural food ingredients, manufacturing equipment, back-office computer software, health insurance, and to negotiate commercial leases.
