Three things we watchin manufacturing books.

Reconciling and closing are the same everywhere. This is where these books differ.

  1. Raw, WIP and finished goods

    Cost has to follow materials into products, or product margin is a guess.

  2. Equipment and depreciation

    Expense a machine at once or over years, and the tax changes with it.

  3. Out-of-state sales

    Without the buyer’s exemption certificate, the tax can land on you. Every state sets its own rules.

What we trackevery month.

You get these in your monthly report once the books close.

  • Gross margin

    In every monthly report

    (Sales − cost of goods) ÷ sales

  • Cost per product

    In every monthly report

    Materials, direct labor and overhead, product by product

  • Days of inventory

    In every monthly report

    Month-end inventory ÷ average daily cost of goods

The estimator opens with your industry already picked.

How is product cost worked out?
Materials, direct labor and overhead such as shop rent and power are allocated to products. In the first month we agree the method with you, then apply it the same way every month. If you already use standard costs, we work from those.
Can we write off a machine in the year we buy it?
Section 179 or bonus depreciation can expense most of it in the year you buy. Taking it all at once leaves nothing for later years, so we decide with several years of taxes in view. On Growth, quarterly income-tax planning covers when to buy, too.
An out-of-state customer says they’re exempt. What do we do?
You collect and keep their resale or exemption certificate. Forms and how long they stay valid differ by state. We keep the list by customer and tell you what’s missing before it matters.
