The task here may be to look at a possible acquisition, review the Company's systems and procedures or evaluate an existing / new IT system .
With current work commitments easing off, (am just finishing off a 3 Year Forecast & Budget for a £50M t/o food processing client that led on to a Std Costing review) and the imminent loss of a Web Engineering client recently acquired by an English concern, I will soon have more time available to carry out long or short term projects.
Historically I have been part of the team that acquired 2 companies and sold a division of another. I have reviewed numerous IT systems, set up 5 finance systems including a complex Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system involving a full manufacturing costing system.
I have produced reports on manning levels and shift workings, purchasing and supplier evaluations and introduced Contribution Costing techniques all of which significantly increased the respective company's margins.
