Somewhere in your business, money is quietly walking out the door.
I’m John Andrew — ACCA-qualified Chartered Accountant and founder of Sol Accounting. Cost Analysis is how I find out exactly where it’s leaking, and what that’s costing you every month.
Send me your numbers. I go looking for what never makes it onto a line item, then tell you, plainly, what’s worth fixing first.
The stuff that never makes a line item
Hidden cost drivers hide inside “normal”.
None of this looks urgent on its own. That’s exactly why it survives quarter after quarter.
Idle time
Machines or people sitting unused between jobs — and nobody’s counting the hours.
Silent rework
Work redone that never gets re-costed, so it quietly disappears from the numbers.
Creeping terms
Supplier or shipping terms that get slightly worse every renewal, unrenegotiated.
What actually happens
Three steps. No jargon.
Send me your numbers
Financials, job costings, whatever you’ve got. No need to tidy it up first.
I trace where it actually goes
Not what the P&L says — what’s really happening on the floor and in the books.
You get a plain-English report
Every leak ranked by rand value, so you know exactly where to start.
Why Sol
Direct access, not a queue.
I’m ACCA-qualified, and Sol Accounting has always worked closely with engineering and manufacturing businesses — the operational detail general accountants tend to skim over. Cost Analysis is that same close attention, aimed squarely at what’s costing you without you noticing. You deal with me, start to finish.
“Clients tell me I make tax season feel almost bearable. I’ll take it.”
Ready when you are
Scratch to find my number.
Properly, like a lotto ticket. Best financial decision you’ll make this week that doesn’t involve me.
