MANUFACTURERS & FABRICATORS

Know what every order really costs to make.

Materials, shop labor, machine time and supplier terms all hit your books at different moments. We set up your accounting to show cost and margin by order, and cash by week.

What We Handle

Accounting built around how a shop floor actually runs

A manufacturer can ship plenty of orders and still be short on cash at payroll. These are the pieces we put in place so the numbers explain what the floor already feels.

Job and Work-Order Costing

Materials, direct labor, outside processing and overhead assigned to each order, so you see the margin on a job before you quote the next one.

Get started →

Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold

Raw material, work in process and finished goods counted and valued the same way every month, so your gross margin reflects production and not timing.

Get started →

Supplier Terms and Cash Flow

Payables, customer terms and deposits modeled in a rolling 13-week forecast, so a cash gap shows up weeks before payroll, not the day of.

Get started →

Quotes Versus Actuals

The cost you quoted compared with what the job really cost, so you can see where scrap, rework or overtime took the margin.

Get started →

Shop Labor and Payroll

Hours, shifts and overtime tied back to the jobs they belong to, so payroll shows up as job cost and not just a monthly total.

Get started →

Equipment, Financing and Tax Planning

Machine purchases, depreciation and loans planned against cash, with year-end tax planning done in the fall rather than discovered in March.

Why Manufacturers Choose ASO

Margin by order, not just by month

A monthly profit and loss shows how the company did. It does not show which products and customers pay for the shop. We focus on the second question.

Costs you can trust

Every order carries materials, labor and overhead, so quoting and pricing decisions rest on real numbers.

Inventory that ties out

A consistent counting and valuation routine your lender, your tax return and your own reports can all rely on.

A cash forecast built on your terms

We plan around your supplier terms, customer terms and seasonality, not a generic template.

CPA-led, one named contact

You work with Doyin Ogunbajo, CPA, and a small team, not a rotating bookkeeper.

FAQ

It depends on size and how fast stock turns. Many shops count monthly or quarterly with a full count at year-end. We help you set a routine that your lender and your tax return can rely on.
We work from the system you already use and set up the entries so jobs and inventory tie to the ledger. You do not need to change systems to get cleaner numbers.
