What we do for Los Angeles-area manufacturers

Product and job costing
Margins by product, customer and job, with labor and overhead rates kept current so every quote starts from real cost.

CFO-level help on pricing, hiring, equipment and expansion, worked through with you and the numbers.

The short answer
Accounovation provides outsourced accounting, month-end close and fractional CFO services to manufacturers across Southern California. We work remotely as your finance partner: we run the books, inventory costing and close, and sit on your side of the table for pricing, cash and big decisions. We're not a CPA firm; we work alongside yours.
How we work with Los Angeles-area manufacturers
We're based in Prosper, Texas, and work with manufacturers nationwide. The monthly work runs remotely through your accounting and inventory systems, with a set close calendar and regular review meetings scheduled around Pacific business hours. Between meetings, you can reach us when a decision can't wait.
Every engagement follows our Manufacturing Profitability Framework: assess where money is made and lost, clarify the numbers, plan pricing, cash and investment, and act on it every month. Fees are a flat monthly amount set after we review your books. See how our pricing works.
Cost and cash when costs run high
Higher wages, rent and freight leave less room for error in pricing. We keep your shop rate and product costs current, show margin by product and customer, and run a 13-week cash forecast, so price changes and big purchases are decided on real numbers. Related: pricing and margin analysis, cash flow management and the shop rate calculator.
California rules, coordinated with your CPA
California has its own sales and use tax rules, including a partial exemption on qualifying manufacturing equipment, along with state payroll and labor requirements that affect how labor cost is recorded. We're not a CPA firm and don't prepare returns. Our job is to keep purchase records, fixed assets, payroll and inventory accurate all year, so your CPA can apply the right rules without a year-end scramble. See how we work with your CPA.
