Engineering and manufacturing

engineeringEngineering

Engineering companies come in all shapes and sizes, and can cover a diverse range of industry sectors. From high-tech electronics companies to traditional heavy engineering businesses, we have extensive experience of most types.

Key to the success of most engineering companies is the tendering process, and the monitoring of actual against anticipated performance. An accurate and easy to use job costing system will allow management to attribute costs against individual jobs and to determine the success (or otherwise) of individual contracts - vital to assess the accuracy of the tendering process, and to assist management in deciding which activities are the most lucrative.

Condies has assisted a number of clients with successful MBOs of engineering companies, and have also been involved in strategic acquisitions for clients operating in the engineering sector. As lead advisors, as well as reporting on the viability of the target, our role has included structuring the deal and obtaining any funding required allowing the deal to proceed.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector is plagued with uncertainty, and is often hostage to factors beyond its control such as fierce global competition, interest rates, currency values, employment levels, and educational training.

Companies operating in such a business environment need experienced, professional advisers to help them steer a steady course. With years of experience acting for clients in the manufacturing sector, we can help you:

  • Minimise risks from pricing and supply fluctuations
  • Optimise your stock control
  • Make important investment decisions
  • Arrange acquisitions, mergers, or disposals
  • Raise finance
  • Manage cashflow through interest rate exchange and rate fluctuations
  • Handle foreign currency transactions

And, of course, we can help with all your accounting, tax, and audit requirements.

Whatever your business structure - sole trader or a limited company - we can help you manage your profitability through our specialised services.
