Manufacturing & Distribution

Manufacturing & Distribution

Manufacturing and distribution (M&D) companies manage countless complex variables, including the costs of raw materials, equipment, and processing; competitive pricing; and tasks like sourcing and just-in-time production and delivery. With all of that to deal within a day, who’s watching your numbers?

Our M&D-focused CPAs and advisors work through these complexities daily, including the additional financial reporting and tax compliance filings required for companies with foreign ownership, multi-state locations, and/or an international presence. This expertise allows us to personalize your experiences and deliver highly specialized accounting, auditing, tax, and advisory services, all while successfully navigating the tax code for things like:

  • Capitalization policies for fixed asset versus expensing under 263(a),
  • State income tax nexus, and
  • The R&D Tax Credit.
