Manufacturing margins you can see before the quarter closes.
One team for finance, accounting and operations
Focused Energy provides fractional CFO, controller and COO services to manufacturers with $3M to $50M in revenue. The team rebuilds margin by product line and by job from the company's own data, closes the books monthly with a controller who owns the close, and maintains a forward cash view and capacity plan ahead of equipment and hiring decisions.
We have done this work for manufacturers and for field service companies whose margin lived in thousands of work orders rather than in the ledger. We publish a client's numbers only with their written approval; ask us for a reference.
Rebuild the margin
By product line and by job, from your own data.
Rebuild margin by product line and by job from the source data when the general ledger can't answer it, then keep it current every month.


Close on a schedule
One the plant can plan around.
Close the books on a schedule the plant can plan around, with a controller who owns the number and signs off on it.
See the cash first
Before the next machine or the next hire.
Put a 13-week cash view and a capacity plan in front of you before you commit to the next machine or the next hire.

Sound familiar?
We're busy and I still don't know which product lines make money.
Sound familiar?
The books close six weeks late, so every decision is made on last quarter.
Sound familiar?
Inventory on the balance sheet doesn't match what's on the floor.
