Manufacturing

Tax planning can be complicated for manufacturers thanks to endless tax codes, regulations and stipulations. Hidden among these complexities, however, are also numerous avenues to improve your bottom line while reducing your tax obligations.

All you need is an expert to help you find them.

Tax credits abound for research and development/experimentation, workforce development, major purchases, exportation of domestically produced goods and more. These and other options can help your company keep more of its hard-earned revenues. A creative tax strategy looks at all of these possibilities and leverages them to your advantage.

Our manufacturing CPAs understand not only the ins and outs of general tax strategy, but also the needs of your industry and the resources available to you. We’ll help you with the complex issues you face and devise a solution that works for your company, your employees and your family.

You’ve got goals for your manufacturing company, like increasing production and driving up your business value. But achieving them takes work beyond your day-to-day accounting and operations. It requires expert knowledge in financial analysis, budgeting and strategic planning, as well as manufacturing-specific accounting experience to meet your unique challenges and needs.

Our fractional CFO services provide the knowledge and expertise of a chief financial officer without having to have one on your payroll. We can help you with managing costs, inventory control, navigating supply chain disruptions, financial forecasting, relationships with your banks and much more — all at a price that works for you.

With the upswing in manufacturing, you face an increasing need for qualified workers. Many employees in the industry are nearing retirement age, while the next generation has pursued work in other industries. And if you don’t have a qualified workforce, you can’t fill market demands.

As a result, manufacturers are turning to outsourced human resources service providers to address these needs. From recruiting and hiring employees to ensuring compliance with DOL regulations, external HR consulting can help you maintain a productive workplace that attracts and keeps the talent you need.

Our HR Solutions team brings decades of combined human resources experience to the table. And our partnerships with affiliated national workforce and financial services companies put even more knowledge of human resources, retirement plans, payroll and more to work for you.

A successful company is often known as much for its leader as it is for its work—especially when that leader has earned the trust and friendship of clients. So when the time comes for you to step aside, be sure that whoever fills those shoes is ready to wear them.

Your company’s future leaders need skills in operations, finance, leadership, communication and strategy. It’s also important to provide a clear path to the helm so they know what is expected of them.

Our training and development programs help you give future leaders in your company the tools they need to ultimately take the reins. We also teach methods to better your company’s performance, such as managing finances and improving processes.

By teaming with partners like Velocity Advisory Group and area business leaders, we can provide the most thorough and practical instruction for you and your company. Where do you need help?

Keeping up with market demand is a challenge unto itself. But when you couple that with redundant processes, wasted efforts and lack of quality control, it can cost you time and money.

And that doesn’t just go for the plant floor; your accounting, human resources and other administrative processes can easily get mired in wasteful practices. Streamlining and properly managing your company’s operations allows you to better utilize your resources across the board.

Our Operational Excellence team applies Lean Six Sigma principles to analyze your processes and develop sustainable solutions that work for you. We use Lean Six Sigma methodology to improve the efficiency, consistency and productivity of your processes.

Families or close associates often work together at companies that stay in business for decades. So it’s expected that such a company will continue operating long after someone steps down.

Yet many owners have no written transition plan established. Leaving the helm might seem like a long way off, but time moves quickly and life doesn’t always go as planned.

A written transition plan ensures that your vision for your firm is fulfilled and protects your employees, your customers and your family.

Our manufacturing CPAs have the industry knowledge to help manufacturing firms prepare for an expected (or unexpected) transfer of ownership. By establishing and documenting the steps to be taken when the time comes, you and your team will have peace of mind that nothing is left to chance.

Managing investments, retirement and taxes can be so confusing and overwhelming that some people choose to just not think about it. That might be easier in the short term, but it won’t get you any closer to meeting your financial goals.
