Stop the Hidden Money-Wasters in Your Food Factory!
For Australian food manufacturers who want control, efficiency and consistent margins without being expert accountants..
Amanda Fisher — Australia’s Margin Optimiser. The Factory Money Detective & Operational Finance Specialist for Food Manufacturing.
I work with manufacturing businesses to uncover the hidden stories in their data and plug profit leaks, which gives them the cash flow certainty to grow their business and the freedom to step away from the daily grind and build a business that rewards their hard work.
Most manufacturers are flying blind and have no idea where they are leaking cash. That is why I developed my 3 pillar framework below to take the manufacturing business from a shortage of cash flow to a healthy bank balance with time to spare.
The Story in the Numbers: Your financial reports aren't just for the ATO; they are a diagnostic map of your factory’s efficiency. Learn to read what they are actually saying about your production.
Plug the Margin Leaks: Isolate exactly where profit is disappearing, whether it's in raw material wastage, inefficient labor, or outdated pricing that hasn't kept pace with inflation.
Master Your Cash Flow: Move from reactive "bank balance accounting" to proactive forecasting so you always have the capital needed for your next production run.
