What FDE is, and whether it fits you

Is the FDE model a good fit for manufacturers?

Yes, especially for plants with revenue of RMB 50 million to 500 million that make their own products and hold inventory: most of the data already exists but has never been joined up, so the reports give totals but no conclusions.

Typical signs: the owner cannot see which orders lose money; power and depreciation are spread by volume; related companies supply each other with no pricing evidence; a process everyone wants to change never changes.
The best moments to start: a relocation or new production line, a fresh tax inquiry, a financing or qualification application, or a new head of finance.
Below that revenue range, start with a tax risk check-up and decide once you see how big the issues are.
