Three Services.
One Consistent Standard.

Each engagement is structured around what your business needs to see — not around what's easiest to package. Below is what we offer and how each service is designed to function.

What You're Looking At

These three services cover the areas where mid-sized businesses tend to lose visibility: how money moves through departments, where budgets drift, and how shared costs land on the books. Each service can stand on its own or work alongside the others.

Pricing is stated plainly. The scope is defined upfront. If something isn't a fit, that conversation happens before engagement begins.

Accounting Services

Management Accounting and Reporting
Service 01 $700 USD / month

Management Accounting & Reporting

Internal financial reporting designed to support day-to-day business decisions. The work includes preparation of departmental cost reports, variance analysis, and key performance indicator tracking. Reports are delivered in a format tailored to your management team's preferences — whether that means summary dashboards or detailed line-by-line breakdowns.

This service is suited to mid-sized businesses with multiple departments or cost centres that need clearer, consistent visibility into operational finances without building a full internal reporting function.

What's included

Departmental cost report preparation
Monthly variance analysis with commentary
KPI tracking against defined benchmarks
Format agreed with your team upfront
Summary dashboards or detailed breakdowns
Ongoing format refinement as needs shift

Service 02 $1,100 USD

Budget Development & Monitoring

An annual operating budget built from historical data, projected revenues, and planned expenditures. Once in place, the budget is monitored monthly with written commentary on variances that exceed predefined thresholds — so issues are noted before they compound.

The process includes collaborative sessions with department heads or business owners to ensure financial expectations align with strategic priorities. If circumstances shift materially mid-year, a formal budget revision is part of the scope.

What's included

Annual operating budget creation
Monthly variance monitoring with written notes
Collaborative sessions with your leadership team
Mid-year revision if conditions change materially
Threshold-based commentary on significant variances
Alignment with strategic financial priorities

Budget Development and Monitoring
Cost Allocation Analysis
Service 03 $950 USD

Cost Allocation Analysis

A structured review of how shared costs are distributed across departments, products, or service lines. The analysis identifies current allocation methods, evaluates whether they reflect actual resource consumption, and proposes adjustments where the picture is unclear or misleading.

The output helps businesses understand true profitability by line of business — which supports more considered pricing decisions. Delivered as a detailed report with supporting calculation schedules so the reasoning is visible and auditable.

What's included

Review of existing allocation methods
Accuracy evaluation across cost centres
Proposed adjustments with documented rationale
Profitability analysis by line of business
Detailed report with calculation schedules
Pricing decision support framework

How These Services Connect

Each service functions independently, but businesses that use more than one tend to find the work builds on itself — reporting informs budgeting; budgeting informs allocation; allocation sharpens reporting.

Reporting Provides the View

Management Accounting gives your team a consistent, structured view of how costs are moving — month by month, department by department.

Budgeting Sets Expectations

Budget Development creates the baseline. Monthly monitoring then measures reality against it — so variances are noted in time to act, not after the period closes.

Allocation Reveals the Detail

Cost Allocation Analysis shows where shared costs actually land — which makes reported figures more meaningful and pricing decisions better informed.

Before Any Engagement Starts

There's a brief initial conversation before anything is formalised. This helps clarify whether the service is a practical fit for where your business is now.

1

Initial Conversation

You describe how your business is structured and what decisions you're trying to support. We discuss whether the scope of a given service lines up with that.

2

Scope Confirmation

The scope, format, and deliverables are confirmed in writing before work begins. Pricing is stated in full. There are no variable fees unless scope changes are agreed explicitly.

3

Data Collection

We work with the records and systems you already have — your accounting software, spreadsheets, or reports. The aim is to add structure, not introduce a separate process alongside your existing one.

4

Delivery & Continuity

Outputs are delivered on an agreed schedule. For ongoing services, the reporting format and process can be refined after the first cycle once both sides have a clearer sense of what works.

Pricing at a Glance

Stated clearly, because that's how financial conversations should begin.

Service Type Price
Management Accounting & Reporting Departmental reporting, variance analysis, KPIs Ongoing $700 /month
Budget Development & Monitoring Annual budget, monthly commentary, mid-year revision Annual $1,100
Cost Allocation Analysis Allocation review, profitability by line, detailed report Per engagement $950

All prices in USD. Scope and pricing are confirmed in writing before any engagement begins. No variable fees apply unless scope changes are agreed in advance.
