Point Balance LLC Information

Point Balance was founded in 1993 (originally Meta4 Imaging, Inc.) to provide general consulting services to the graphic communications industries. Its services and tools expanded through partnership and, eventually, acquisition in 2000 to include process design and renovation, technology assessment, operational performance audits, business and competitive strategy, and case studies development. In 2002, Point Balance expanded its focus to include intense analysis of non-direct or support expenses in the print and publishing industries. Point Balance established the Support Expense Index TM for the print industry. The SEI is used by printers to benchmark support expense efficiency using the Support Expense Efficiency Analysis. Recently, Point Balance published the first and most authoritative book on modern operational cost accounting for the print industry titled Activity-Based Costing for Printers: An Implementation Guide.
