Plugging the margin leaks across your business

Every finance team has felt it: margin looks fine on paper until the monthly P&L lands, and suddenly it isn't. Sometimes that's a one-off. But more often it's weeks or months of small, unnoticed erosion — a price override here, a cost creep there — that's been quietly compounding the whole time.

In this session, former CFO and now Phocas Finance Specialist Nick Aversano breaks down why margin leaks stay hidden for so long, and what it takes to catch them early.

We'll cover:

• Why margin erosion is invisible until it's already cost you money
• The difference between a pricing problem, a cost problem, and a mix problem
• What separates finance teams who catch it early from those who explain it after
• How AI and dedicated software can help you monitor and investigate margin by customer, product and branch, catch compression early, and pinpoint the root cause fast

This session is designed for finance leaders and controllers in distribution who want to catch margin problems before the P&L does.
