Management information most SMEs never get to see.
Keystone builds the costing, profitability and reporting systems that growing manufacturers need to see where money is really made — without the cost of a full finance department.
Accounting tells you what happened. It rarely tells you why.
Most growing manufacturers keep clean books. Very few can answer the questions that actually drive margin.
Profitability is invisible
Product, customer and project-level margins are rarely visible until it's too late to act on them.
Cost drivers stay hidden
Margin erosion gets noticed. What's actually causing it usually doesn't.
Working capital surprises
Cash and working-capital strain shows up after the fact, not before it.
No forward-looking view
Budgets, pricing and capacity decisions get made without a reliable forecast behind them.
What we build
A structured management-finance layer, delivered as a consistent methodology rather than open-ended advisory hours.
Costing frameworks
Standardized product and process costing that holds up under scrutiny — and under change.
Profitability diagnostics
See margin by product, customer and project, not just at the company level.
Management reporting
Reporting built for decisions, not just for the auditor.
Budgeting & FP&A
Forecasts and budgets that connect to how the business actually runs.
Fractional CFO
Senior financial oversight on a schedule that fits a growing company's budget.
Finance-process improvement
Tighten the processes feeding your numbers, so the numbers can be trusted.
One method, applied consistently
Every engagement moves through the same sequence — so the frameworks and dashboards we build can be reused, not rebuilt, on the next one.
Costing models
Establish true product and process cost.
Profitability engine
Turn cost data into margin visibility.
Management dashboard
Put the numbers in front of the people who decide.
Decision support
Connect the numbers to pricing, mix and capacity calls.
Continuous review
Keep the system current as the business changes.
Built for growing manufacturers
We work best with mid-market companies that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but aren't ready to build a full finance department.

Run by someone who has closed the books, not just reviewed them.
