Cost accounting and controlling

Cost accounting and controlling procedures and mechanisms form the basis of corporate finance. Effective business management requires an overview of the relative finances. The proper establishment of cost accounting and controlling mechanisms should be considered in order to attain this important and necessary overview. We support our clients both in the establishment of such mechanisms as well as in their ongoing monitoring, adjustment and assessment.

Establishment of cost accounting and controlling mechanisms

If your company has grown or if you have merged and acquired another company, or if you simply want to know which products, branch offices or sectors earn profits or take losses, establishment of cost accounting mechanisms or installation of controlling mechanisms, where appropriate, is highly recommended. For this purpose, it is necessary to separately consider different business units or products (cost centers and cost objects) and to assign all turnover and costs to these.
Upon request, we support you in the implementation of such mechanisms either in your accounting software, in our DATEV program or as a separate Excel report. The partial results of individual segments can be analyzed by the means of ongoing costs and final costs that can be carried out. Now you can easily identify in which segments you make money, and in which you loose money and should be closed, if necessary.
