Cost Control Support

Who?

Gopinathan (TGNathan) is a Certified Chartered Accountant with further training in post-professional Management Accounting. Starting as the accountant of a steel fabrication company, he has worked for decades in different roles through multiple economic cycles and technological shifts.  I have seen what works when the economy is booming and what saves a company when it isn't. 

He publishes a Substack that elaborates how management accounting can help strategy architectures designed to the needs of each business.

What?

Cost leaks can be invisible. For example, factory scrap, machine downtime and stockout disruptions do not appear as a line item in the Profit&Loss Statement.  Together, these can have a suprisingly strong impact on your profits and break-even point. We work with you to identify problem areas and appropriate solutions.

Break-even analysis itself could prove problematic if you can't clearly segregate Fixed and Variable costs and cost elements. We have created an artificial intelligence based code to split the fixed and variable elements of hybrid costs.

Strategies like clustering, integration and more can reduce costs, as this Substack post on the China Price makes clear. We can discuss opportunities for implementing similar strategies in your particular context.

How?

Contact Us with brief details about you and your business. We will send you a Checklist that will help start the process of narrowing down to the key cost contol areas in your specific context. We can discuss practical working arrangements to work together on cost control strategies, including using AI-based tools.

I don't bill for hours spent on Zoom calls. I bill for deep-work analysis and the delivery of precise, AI-backed strategic reports.
