Course Details

Clients are still operating in a cost‑sensitive environment, and many need practical help to protect profit without making reactive cuts that damage service, team morale or customer experience. This session gives accountants and bookkeepers a clear, usable framework for helping clients respond to cost increases with sensible overhead controls, better supplier discipline and stronger financial visibility. It matters because price pressure has not disappeared, and many businesses are still dealing with higher payroll, energy and supplier costs than they were used to before.

In this course Simon Unger covers the following topics:

  • How cost pressure is showing up in client overheads, margins and working capital.
  • The difference between short‑term cost cutting and sustainable cost control.
  • Practical ways to review contracts, pricing, usage and supplier performance across key overhead categories.
  • How accountants can help clients prioritise actions by ease, impact and implementation risk.
  • A simple client conversation model to move from concern about rising costs to a clear action plan

At the age of 26 he was youngest main board Director at OKI Systems (UK) Limited and went on to set up & run his own distribution business. Following a successful exit a friend suggested setting up The Procurement Group as a general overhead procurement consultancy working on gain share wherever possible in order to be as closely aligned as possible with each client.
