Many small Food Companies find it difficult to calculate their expected profit from the products they produce and sell. At OBK we will utilise our extensive experience to assist you in ensuring that your products actually will make the margins that you think they should.
Food Accounting is unique and modern Financial Reporting systems may not be structured to give the clearest representation of the activities of a Food business. OBK will review your operation and devise a Chart of Accounts that accurately reflects your operation and will give a much clearer picture of your company’s operation.
Most small Food companies do not have the time to aggressively target their cost base. OBK will target significant cost savings in areas such as Energy, Procurement and Back Office costs.
