“Thanks to Margineo, we have a fundamentally better understanding of our business and how to optimize growth going forward.”

CFO of $100M+ manufacturer after Margineo’s proprietary profit attribution model unlocked +50bps of profit opportunity.

“We were initially hesitant to work with Margineo because we hadn’t heard of them before. But they were so quick, flexible and sharp. I’m super pleased with how it turned out! I’m most surprised with their level of energy, expertise and insight. I would definitely work with them again.”

“I met Artur at a networking event and was intrigued by Margineo’s modern approach to finance transformation. We did a pilot project on one of my clients to create an improvement roadmap for their forecasting processes. I’m now having Margineo take a closer look at all of the companies I work with.”

“Margineo was on another level. They set up our very own SQL server, deleted a ton of reports we were doing that were not useful, programmed a custom finance dashboard we use every week in our leadership meetings and built out an AI roadmap for us, all in a couple weeks!”
