Because we serve 1,000 manufacturers, we know the industry and its challenges
We serve more than 1,000 manufacturers, with notable experience in sectors such as automotive, machining, precision metal forming, plastics, food, and medical. Approximately one-third of the manufacturers we serve manufactures, sells, and/or partners globally. Our clients are like you, and our experiences with them help us understand the challenges you are facing in these hard economic times.
Client success is a priority
Because we make client success a priority, we are always looking for creative responses to help you deal with challenges like the escalating costs of energy, raw materials, and health care; your aging workforce and your need to train new talent; and the increased competition that comes from global markets.
You also benefit from our unique ability to put today’s challenges into perspective because we have been benchmarking various manufacturing sectors since the early 1990s. To better serve you, we always stay abreast of trends affecting manufacturing. We are active on association boards and advocate on your behalf with governmental and regulatory bodies.
If it is legislation, compliance, or market trends, we will know about it because we are committed to your success.
Our firm is all about client service
Our founders’ philosophy of putting client success first has translated into an award-winning firm culture. That culture enables us to recruit and retain exceptional talent. It nurtures collaboration. That means you can expect to see most of the same faces from one engagement to the next. And you can depend on us for exceptional thinking and problem solving.
We like to say that your business is our business because we bring an entrepreneurial passion to each project. You will notice the difference. You will work with a multidisciplinary team whose hands-on, practical knowledge has developed from working with clients very much like you.
Our manufacturing clients say we are “real world professionals who give solid advice.”
Menu of services developed expressly for manufacturers
To better serve our manufacturing clients, we have developed a menu of services to meet your specific needs. For instance, our technology team has been helping clients select and implement Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems almost since the solution became available 30 years ago. The systems have evolved and users want to extract more and more benefits, so we help them stay ahead of the curve.
You will also appreciate the expertise of our tax specialists who have experience navigating the complex tax laws on all levels — international, federal, and state. When you invest in improved facilities, we can help with cost segregation to defray the costs. When you invest in research and development, we can help you maximize the tax benefits with R&D tax credits. When you need help with transfer pricing or want to investigate your potential for a Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD), we have skills you can depend on.
