FORESTRY
Garth Beker and his team have a high level of experience and specialist skills as a result of working closely with the forest industry for the past 10 years. His role an advisor to industry people throughout New Zealand has been instrumental in his ability to deal with the constant change through several boom – bust industry cycles.

Fraught with high risk due to being a largely commodity based industry, contractors and forest owners require current information on management issues that cover forest regime options, pricing and investment analysis, project evaluations including land use, crop types and most typically advice on Emissions Trading Scheme issues.
 
Businesses operating in this environment typically need advice and guidance on key issues including:

ROAD TRANSPORT
Whether you run one or 100 + trucks, you need to be managing each unit as a separate ‘profit centre’, right down to a ‘cents per km’ analysis per truck per period (month, quarter, year etc.). The road transport industry is notoriously competitive and generally rates are often breakeven at best.  So in order to survive your systems need to be accurate, thorough and timely.

Garth Beker and his team have developed accounting systems to achieve these fundamental goals. Then leveraged off this great information to work with his clients to drive efficiency and ultimately improved profitability. Another focus is the importance of effectively managing the drivers within your fleet and the need for good systems around this, including driver incentive schemes which is a challenging aspect of the industry. After all, in many cases the business owner is relying on the driver to manage an asset in excess of $500,000!!!
