In recent months, we have received a growing number of consultations with entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs interested in learning to measure, control and optimize their costs.
What are costs?
From an accounting and management approach, costs represent all the resources that a company must invest to operate, produce goods or provide services. This includes from supplies and raw material to salaries, rentals and public services.
They are classified into two large groups:
● Fixed costs: They are those that remain constant regardless of the level of production or sales. Examples: rent of the premises, salaries of administrative staff, insurance, basic services.
● Variable costs: They change depending on the volume of activity. Examples: raw material, sales commissions, production supplies, logistics costs for products delivery.
The importance of measuring well
To quantify costs precisely, having a management system is fundamental. This type of tool allows to register in real time each graduation and analyze the structure of costs with greater depth.
If you still do not have such a system, you can start with a simple form where you register the large numbers. Then, the objective will be to refine that scheme towards a more detailed and automated model.
Having costs under control not only improves your company’s operational margin, but also allows you to be more competitive and make informed decisions on time.
