Are you charging an appropriate amount for your goods and services? What is the full cost of producing your organization’s goods or services? In fact, what does “full cost” mean? Are you having trouble answering these important cost management questions? Cost accounting and management reporting can provide the tools you need to learn about your organization.

Sterling Associates, LLP consultants are cost accounting experts. We have developed an approach to cost accounting implementation that puts the cost accounting tools in managers’ hands without requiring them to become accountants.

The structure of your cost accounting system design depends on your business, the information you would like to capture and the incentives you would like to set. We will help you develop a system that is appropriate to your organization.

We often find that cost accounting implementation stirs up other issues. It provides an opportunity to streamline accounting, organization, and reporting structures. It also can bring into light the true cost of administration and internal service activities; and, as a result, raise tough questions about the nature and level of these services. We understand that these issues are a natural companion to cost accounting and are ready to assist you with these needs, as well.
