Strategic Cost Reduction Elevates Net Profitability

The reorganization led to a reduction of 250 staff hours per month, translating to an annual savings of approximately $75,000, based on the average cost of finance department labor.

Problem/ Challenge

A deep dive into their financials revealed disproportionate cash consumption by certain departments relative to their contributions, exorbitantly high payroll expenses, and resource wastage due to lack of shared services.

Additionally, the absence of an expense approval system led to unchecked outflows.
