Nick Katko is an early pioneer of lean accounting. In the 1990s, as CFO of Bullard, Nick implemented a complete lean management accounting system in conjunction with Bullard’s lean transformation, which included eliminating standard costing. Katko learned that existing management accounting systems and financial management practices for lean organizations must be made relevant to ensure the success of a lean strategy. Katko joined BMA in 2002 and has leveraged his lean accounting experience and philosophy in assisting BMA clients in developing, leading and coaching them in their lean accounting transformations, as well as lean strategy and lean office guidance. He served a range of organizations, from family-owned businesses to multi-national companies in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, software, engineering and service.
