Management Accounting Basics
Know what a product truly costs, where profit begins and where the budget leaks
Management accounting is not bookkeeping. It is the tool that helps a manager decide: what each product truly costs, where profit begins, and where the budget leaks. This lecture makes the essentials accessible in managers' language: cost behaviour, break-even and budget planning connected to everyday decisions. The lecture is delivered by Alexander Slutsker, business consultant.
The content is matched in advance to your audience and goals on a short planning call.

How the session runs
- 01
What is the difference between a fixed and a variable cost?
We understand how each type of cost behaves as the business grows.
- 02
Where does profit begin?
We calculate break-even and use it in pricing and volume decisions.
- 03
How does a budget become a management tool?
We read a budget as an ongoing decision tool, not a table filled in once a year.
- 04
Which products actually earn?
We identify the products and activities that truly earn and those that only look like they do.
- 05
How is this different from financial statements?
Financial statements look backwards and report outwards, while here we look forwards and inwards to decide what to do now.

Frequently asked questions
Is an accounting background needed?
No. The lecture is built for people who never studied accounting, and translates every concept into a familiar management question.
How is this different from a financial statements talk?
Financial statements look backwards and report outwards. Management accounting looks forwards and inwards: it helps decide what to do now.
Can we work on our own numbers?
An open lecture works on examples matched to the industry. Tailoring to your organisation's own cost structure can be discussed on the intro call.
Part of the audience is experienced and part is new. Will it work?
Yes. The depth is set in advance on the planning call, examples are matched to the sector, and the base assumes no prior knowledge. Audience questions give the experienced their room too.
What is the difference between a lecture and a workshop?
A lecture delivers insights, a thinking framework and examples to a large group. A workshop adds practice, discussion and work on your own cases in a smaller group. They combine well: a lecture for everyone and a follow-up workshop for a core team.
How much does a lecture cost?
The price depends on the format, the location and the audience size. After a short intro call you receive an itemized quote, no surprises.
