For Foundries, Die Casters & Manufacturers
Cost allocation, inventory, work-in-process, and multi-bank cash make month-end a slog — and hourly payroll never stops. Sumz runs your whole accounting function and automates the repetitive work, so your numbers are clean, your margins are clear, and a licensed CPA owns every figure.
Where it hurts
As a manufacturer scales, the accounting load compounds — and a single hire can’t keep up with all of it.
Material, labor, and overhead have to land on the right job — or margins are a guess and quotes are wrong.
Raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods move daily; valuing them right is what makes the financials real.
Shift hours, manual checks, and several bank accounts make payroll and reconciliation a recurring time sink.
Fluent in your ERP
Most outsourced firms make you bend to their tools. We work inside yours. We run books for make-to-order manufacturers and foundries on B&L Odyssey ERP — pulling GL, inventory, BOM, and job-cost data straight from the system, so your close and reporting run on Odyssey, not around it.
Costing is the wedge. We build accurate per-part costing, BOM, and material requirements — accounting for cycle time, scrap and yield, alloy cost, and overhead absorption — so your quoting and margin calls come off real numbers, not soft ones. We speak metalcasting: heat tracking, metal surcharges, and certifications.
What we do
Accurate standard costs by part — material, labor, scrap/yield, and overhead absorption — reconciled so quoting and pricing run on real numbers.
Vendor and freight invoices captured from inbox or paper; multi-bank reconciliations run on a schedule.
We cut payroll prep from hours to minutes — and error-free, every cycle.
See profitability by job, part, and product line in real time — not three weeks after close.
We re-engineer the close with automation, handing hundreds of hours a month back to the business.
Led by a CPA who holds the CISSP. You decide how far AI goes; every workflow is scoped, approved, and logged.
Built for where metalcasting is heading
We work with foundries and die casters serving aerospace, defense, data-center & electrical, and medical end markets — the segments with the most pricing power right now.
For PE & serial acquirers
Buying or being bought? We systemize accounting and costing across acquisitions, so a platform or serial acquirer gets consistent, integration-ready numbers from day one — premium work, with no competitor conflict between portfolio companies.
Confidential by design
Confidentiality is built in: NDAs at engagement, conflict checks at intake, and dedicated pods with system-level access walls. Our Managing Partner holds the CISSP, so data segregation is our home turf — and we never touch a competitor’s quoting or pricing.
Works with your stack
B&L Odyssey ERP, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and most major ERPs and payroll platforms — plus custom connectors for HubSpot, Zapier, and your shop-floor systems, so everything talks to each other.
