Connecting Financial Performance With What’s Happening on the Plant Floor

Manufacturing finance teams need reliable information from across the organization to understand margins, costs, inventory, capital investments, and operational performance. When accounting processes, ERP systems, and operational data are disconnected, getting that insight becomes significantly more difficult.

  • Inventory accounting
  • Standard costing
  • Excess and obsolete inventory
  • Lower of cost or market analysis
  • Fixed assets and capital projects
  • Plant and operational finance
  • Working capital
  • Margin analysis
  • ERP implementation and optimization
  • Supply chain data
  • Forecasting
  • M&A and integration

Questions Manufacturing CFOs Are Asking

Improvement begins with understanding the complete flow of inventory through purchasing, production, warehousing, and the general ledger. Finance should evaluate costing methodologies, reconciliations, reserves, physical counts, system configuration, and ownership across departments.

Companies can evaluate historical inventory accuracy, materiality, risk, cycle-counting procedures, part activity, and control requirements to determine whether every item needs the same counting approach.

Finance teams can move beyond reporting results by developing plant-level KPIs, margin analysis, cost and volume variance reporting, working-capital analytics, and forecasts connected directly to operational drivers.

An ERP should be evaluated when teams rely heavily on spreadsheets and manual workarounds, reporting is difficult, inventory information is unreliable, integrations are failing, or the system no longer supports the complexity of the business.
