Who We Help
Accountants for Precision Engineering (CNC, milling, turning — incl. prototyping)
As a precision engineering firm, you live in tiny tolerances and shifting setups. A job looks great on the whiteboard, then month-end tells a different story. Materials move, operators swap, and WIP (Work-in-Progress) quietly ties up cash.
How we help
- A short monthly pack you can skim in minutes — what made money, what didn’t, and the three actions that move the needle.
- WIP brought under control so margin feels real (not lucky).
- A calm cash rhythm so materials and payroll don’t collide.
- Faster, fairer quoting using real job history (prototyping split from R&D – Research & Development).

Accountants for Fabrication & Sheet Metal (laser, fold, weld)
As a fabricator, you juggle custom one-offs and repeat parts while steel prices dance. Quotes creep, labour swings, and cash gets bumpy. The work is solid; the timing and visibility aren’t.
How we help
- A rolling 13-week cash view (simple 3-month forecast) so wages and materials don’t collide.
- Staged billing that matches how you actually build (deposit → mid-build → delivery).
- A short monthly pack showing which work truly pays — pricing that sticks.
- Kinder supplier timing and polite chasing so customers pay faster without friction.

Accountants for Electronics & Embedded Systems (incl. light medical devices)
As an electronics/embedded team, long lead times, rework risk and the BOM (Bill of Materials) make margin slippery. You’re ordering ahead while cash tightens, then explaining “why it moved” eats a day.
How we help
- Product-line results that reflect true BOM costs (no more mystery margins).
- A cash plan that respects long lead times and staged customer payments.
- Lender-friendly summaries you can send without dread.
- Clear split between prototype and production pricing so you stop subsidising R&D (Research & Development).

Accountants for Automation & Robotics / Special-Purpose Machinery
As a machine builder, milestones are chunky, changes creep, and “is our WIP (Work-in-Progress) right?” never fully goes away. Clients and lenders want crisp updates while your team just wants to build.
How we help
- Milestone billing that holds (design sign-off, build, FAT – Factory Acceptance Test, delivery).
- Defensible WIP and a one-page monthly story: progress, risks, cash.
- Invoice triggers aligned to approval gates to bring DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) down.
- Safe long-lead purchasing with clear cash timing and “what-if” views.

Accountants for Industrial Equipment / OEMs (incl. aerospace & defence light)
As an OEM, you’re scaling product while after-sales grows. Inventory ties up cash; returns and warranty blur the picture; documentation can be… a lot.
How we help
- Margin by product line you can act on (fix price, push volume, or pause).
- Faster cash cycle — kinder supplier terms and steadier collections.
- Tidy monthly packs your ops and sales actually use.
- For aerospace/defence: clean project financials, tight milestone invoicing, and shorter reviews.

Accountants for Plastics & Composites (moulding, laminates)
As a plastics/composites shop, scrap, setup time and material swings nibble at profit. The fixes are small but easy to miss when the line is running hot.
How we help
- Focus on the few numbers that move margin: scrap %, cycle time, material yield.
- WIP (Work-in-Progress) kept sensible so month-end is real, not guesswork.
- A monthly pack that highlights what improved (and what didn’t) — with three next steps.
- Quote sanity checks for short runs so margin doesn’t leak.

Accountants for Renewable / Green Tech (grants, capex, scale)
As a green-tech team, grants, capex (capital expenditure on long-life assets) and growth all move at once. Investors want clarity while you’re busy building.
How we help
- Funding mapped clearly, with timelines and responsibilities.
- Simple “what-if” plans for kit and hiring (buy vs lease, grant vs loan).
- Crisp investor updates that show runway, milestones and risk.
- Cash timing that stops being scary — and supports the next scale-up step.

Accountants for Contract Manufacturers / Job Shops (short runs & one-offs)
As a job shop, schedules change by lunch. Quotes creep; WIP (Work-in-Progress) grows; cash gets twitchy. Everyone’s flat-out—yet month-end still surprises you.
How we help
- Honest, data-backed quotes and a quick “quote sanity” checklist.
- WIP that behaves and reflects reality — not optimism.
- A monthly pack the team actually uses (5-minute read, then action).
- A friendly chasing rhythm to bring DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) down.
