Expense Analysis
13 Analysis | 4 Industries | COGS & OPEX Examples

When did you last conduct the line-by-line analysis of COGS and OPEX?

Yesterday, we discussed Revenue Analysis. However, it is only half the battle won.

How are you spending that hard-earned revenue?

That's the real question that needs to be answered through line-by-line expense analysis.

For instance, in the F&B example, the analysis of COGS is critical to assess the profitability by dish. Once you have the analysis, it can be benchmarked against the industry. The same goes for manufacturing.

This is why conducting line-by-line expense analysis is so important.

By analyzing expenses through 13 different types of analysis, businesses can better understand where their money is going and identify areas where cost optimization is possible.
