FAQ

Common questions

We have a CA/accountant. Why do we need TBS?

CAs handle compliance. TBS builds the business-level financial visibility tools — costing, margins and MIS — your founders and managers use daily.

Our products have varying costs. Can you handle that?

Yes. We build costing systems for multi-product, multi-variant businesses with seasonal and market-linked raw material costs.

Can TBS help with credit management and recovery?

Yes. We build credit control systems, payment follow-up scripts and outstanding trackers that reduce debtor days significantly.

Do I need accounting software for this?

No. All systems are Excel/Sheets based and can be used without any accounting software.

How will I know if my pricing is wrong?

After cost mapping, many MSMEs discover they're selling at a loss on certain SKUs. TBS helps correct this immediately.

Can you help with distributor margin and pricing strategy?

Yes. Distributor margin, stockist margin, retail margin and MRP logic are all part of the pricing framework we build.

FAQ

Costing and cost reduction: common questions

What is product costing and why does my business need it?

Product costing calculates the true cost of each unit: material at landed cost, wastage, labour, power, overheads and finance cost. Without it, prices are set on guesswork and some products may be losing money.

Are you a replacement for our chartered accountant?

No. Your CA handles statutory accounts, tax and compliance. We build management systems: costing, margin visibility, pricing rules, leakage control and cash reviews. We work alongside your CA.

How quickly can cost reduction show results?

Wastage, power and purchasing leakages often show savings within 4 to 8 weeks once they are measured. Structural changes such as product mix and pricing take a quarter or more.

Can you help with working capital and receivables?

Yes. We set up credit policies, weekly receivables ageing reviews, inventory minimum and maximum levels and a 13-week cash forecast so cash problems become visible early.

What information do you need to start?

Recent sales and purchase data, a production or stock register, the salary sheet and the last financial statements. We build the first cost sheets from what you already have.
