Individualized Customized Services Based Upon Your Needs
Do you deliver a quality product of service to your customers? That is what your customers are expecting.
Simply saying that your operation is a quality company or that you offer a quality product or quality service, doesn’t attract attention anymore.
To achieve quality you must deliver the expected product or service on time, at the lowest cost.
You must do what’s desired to meet customer expectations.
Most companies aren’t even aware if they meet these objectives.

We will review the quality of the policies and procedures that go into making or providing them.
We will review the ways you work with your customers, beginning from the initial consumer contact.
We will continue that process through the development, sale and follow-up customer service.

We will then develop specific recommendations for your business, and implement them to give the results that you want, and that you need.

The Preliminary Analysis
Business Needs, Inc. conducts a detailed Business Financial and Tax Analysis that outlines every success and every potential problem area within your company.
Our Analysis digs deep into your processes-reviewing your company's history, financials, organization, control, policies, procedures, profits, tax liability, and more.
All aspects of the review are then discussed with each client.
The analysis is complete only when you are satisfied that all areas have been explored and all successes and problems are completely defined.
At that point, all problems and our recommendations for their correction are discussed, allowing prospective clients to make an informed decision as to how to remedy the situation.
A detailed analysis for a variety of business types, including:
- Manufacturing: We'll examine labor costs, materials costs, plant layout, overhead, production control and other major factors to create more profitable operations.
- Retail: We'll devote added attention to your floor space, layout, counter methods, merchandising and inventory turnover.

- Quality: We'll examine quality assurance systems and management to help keep your company committed to quality processes and procedures. Special attention is given to documentation, procedures, training, quality review, and management awareness. Assessments can also be made of your business' readiness for ISO 9000 registration.
The Business Financial and Tax Analysis
(Contribution and Profitability Analysis)
Most businesses have reporting systems that measure the overall financial performance of the organization. But these reporting systems often fall short in their ability to provide financial performance data for specific business segments of the organization.
Without this critical information, it’s difficult for management to determine where resources should be allocated to maximize profit
A Cost and Profitability Analysis helps to provide this important data. This type of analysis not only serves as a tool to make more informed decisions, but can also identify ways to improve business processes.
Why Business Needs, Inc.
We understand you face unique challenges in measuring the financial performance of your organization. With this in mind, our approach is tailored to suit your particular needs.
How We Can Help
At Business Needs, Inc., we have extensive experience with contribution, tax, and profitability analysis. We use cost accounting techniques to identify direct costs associated with specific segments of your business and calculate the dollar amount that each segment contributes to your overhead and profit.
In addition to reviewing your financial statements, we work with you to gain an in-depth understanding of your business and its systems.
We also develop a micro-based spreadsheet model that incorporates facts and assumptions into a financial analysis tool you can use repeatedly.
Our approach to contribution and profitability analysis helps determine:
- Unit sales and revenues by segment
- Direct material costs
- Direct labor costs
- Variable overhead (including variable selling expense)
