Frequently asked questions
What is management control?
It is the function that models costs and margins, tracks variances between actual and budget, and informs trade-offs. It is distinct from accounting, which it draws on.
Is it useful for an industrial family group?
Particularly. The diversity of products, sites and customers makes margin hard to read without a dedicated cost model and suitable analysis axes.
How do management control and reporting fit together?
Management reporting presents the indicators; management control builds and explains them (costs, margins, variances). Both sit within an outsourced CFO engagement.
Do you work with our production data?
Yes. We integrate operational and accounting data to produce reliable unit costs and margins, in your ERP or a dedicated tool.
