Industries involving trucking, freight, or transportation deal with unique, unexpected problems daily, and quick solutions must be implemented on the spot to avoid shortcomings in meeting customers’ demands. CPAs at Barrett and Co. work with you so that you can utilize financial records accurately and effectively in order to make prompt and wise decisions.
One of our clients expressed concern about not understanding the true operating costs for their refrigerated truck fleet. As they continued to haul their goods up and down the I-5 corridor from Canada to San Diego, we helped them strengthen their accounting records and improve their understanding of their operating costs by reviewing accurate interim financials on a monthly basis. We coached our clients to view their business on a per-mile basis. As a result, we were able to identify the costs that were out of line and help them track cost savings associated with technological innovations.
With a better grasp of their financial information, our client now outperforms other competitors in their industry year after year. They are more proactive and can immediately pinpoint the areas where the business is not performing well. Rather than feeling like they have no control at all, our client now knows exactly what they can and cannot control.
“There’s a lot that goes on in our industry that’s out of our hands. Something is always broken, busted, or needs to be repaired, and the price of fuel is constantly fluctuating. By reviewing our financial statements with our CPAs at Barrett and Co., we were able to feel a sense of control, see areas where our business was spending too much, and identify customer relationships that were hurting rather than helping our business. Through visual charts and graphs, we immediately had a better understanding of our financial information and how we measure up to other competitors in the industry.”
