Your Numbers aren’t the problem. But they’ll show you what is…
At Skynet Accounting, we’re manufacturing and engineering specialist finance professionals with over 20 years of hands-on experience.
We work with manufacturers and engineers to uncover inefficiencies hidden from the shop floor, bring clarity to your costs, and manage your finances to fund the next phase of smart, profitable growth.
Most manufacturing and engineering leaders are working harder than ever – but seeing less reward.
Struggling with production costing, budgeting, or scheduling?
Constantly chasing profit but losing margins and unsure why?
Cash always tight and you’re the one funding the gap?
Managing business finances feels overwhelming, and you need someone to turn it around?
No clear financial or operational strategy and no visibility?
Want to enhance operations and scale up with confidence?
Not getting relevant help or guidance from your current accountant?
You need more than just an accountant!
You need a strategic financial partner who understands operations, production costing, cash flow, capacity, and efficiencies and knows the realities of manufacturing. Someone who helps you build a business that runs profitably, at scale.
At Skynet Accounting, we don’t just do the numbers -we optimise, strategise, and transform.
We specialise in helping manufacturing and engineering businesses unlock hidden potential, maximise efficiency, and prepare for a future of automation, growth, and profitability.
We go beyond the numbers.

Our 5-Step Transformation Process
Build Your Financial Foundation
Every business starts in a different place – and that’s exactly how we approach Step One.
Whether you need clarity on your numbers, or your operation feels like it’s running flat out with too little to show for it, we begin by building the financial foundation your business needs to scale.
STEP ONE
Production Budgeting
Understand costs, margins and pricing to support growth
STEP TWO
Manufacturing Efficiency Audit
Uncover waste, delays and hidden capacity to improve performance
Case Study: When More Sales Weren’t the Solution
“We were running at full tilt, always chasing the next job.
We thought if we just landed one or two more contracts, we’d be fine.”
That’s what the MD told Yesim in their first meeting.
But more sales weren’t the answer. In fact, they would have made the situation worse – because pricing was off, margins weren’t protected, and production was already stretched thin.
Yesim began with a Production Budgeting review to understand what was truly profitable. The results were revealing: their most popular service was underpriced, billing was slow, and outdated payment terms were creating cash flow gaps.
She followed with a Manufacturing Efficiency Audit, which identified hidden blockers on the shop floor – wasted materials, unbalanced workloads, and stop-start production flow that no one had measured.
Together, these insights led to a full pricing restructure, better production planning, and a simpler, healthier cash flow model. With Yesim’s support, the business finally had clarity, confidence, and space to grow – without guessing or grinding harder.
“We didn’t just fix the numbers – we changed how we run the business.”
