You suspect your cost structure isn’t right. You just can’t prove it yet.<\/mark><\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most companies allocate costs the way they always have \u2014 spreading indirect costs using averages that made sense years ago but no longer reflect how the business actually operates. The result: distorted product margins, pricing decisions made on flawed data, and a cost base that quietly erodes competitiveness.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fixing this requires someone who combines academic rigour in cost methodology with hands-on controlling experience. Not a framework from a slide deck \u2014 a redesign that works in your specific business context, and stays working after the engagement ends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Where I typically get called in?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Indirect costs are spread using outdated averages \u2014 product margins are unreliable<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Competitors are offering prices that don’t seem possible to match<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A restructuring or strategic review requires a clear view of the true cost base<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The finance team needs operational reinforcement during a transition or peak period<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How can I approach this?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
