Although each cost accounting study is tailored to the needs of the organization, there are several common threads in the costing studies that TriNet manages:

• We focus on EDUCATION during the project
  
• The approach will ensure that the system is maintainable
  
• We support a phased-in approach to costing where appropriate
  
• We aim for meaningful results in a reasonable timeframe
  
• The factors of cost/accuracy/time must be balanced throughout the project

Our cost accounting consultants include former McKesson employees (Amherst Product Group), as well as a Management Engineer who has set up cost accounting systems in hospitals.
