About Miguel

I help companies understand where they make and lose money - at the level of individual products, services, clients, and channels.

With 15+ years of experience in cost and profitability consulting, I specialize in Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) models that reveal true margins and drive better pricing, resource allocation, and strategic decisions.

What I deliver:
- Profitability models that show margin by product, client, channel, or any dimension that matters to your business
- Cost allocation frameworks using TDABC methodology
- Interactive dashboards for ongoing margin monitoring
- Workshops and training on cost management best practices

I am the co-founder of CostCTRL, a SaaS platform for profitability modelling, and Cost and Profitability Consulting, a specialized advisory firm. My clients range from mid-market companies to large enterprises across industries including healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and professional services.
