Plante Moran auditors help retailers save money
When was the last time your auditor helped you save money? During a recent financial statement audit engagement, we identified $500,000 in tax savings for a 10-store grocery chain. For a discount drug chain, we discovered an opportunity to use training credits to save $100,000. And for another retailer, we correctly suggested the time was right to renegotiate a better lease.
When you engage a Plante Moran auditing team, you can expect more than compliance because we know the retail industry and understand taxes and key indicators on your financial statement.
Our experience with more than 400 retailers means we won’t have to waste your time asking a lot of general questions. But at the same time, we know which questions to ask so you can take advantage of opportunities to improve cash flow — from tax credits to real estate decisions.
You will benefit from our award-winning firm culture
We can confidently say that you will enjoy working with our financial statement auditing team. Many organizations and publications have honored the firm as a “top place to work.” That is because we have a culture based on a philosophy of nurturing staff and putting the client first.
This culture encourages collaboration, and you benefit. For instance, we understand that every decision has book and tax implications, so our auditing and tax teams work together to deliver seamless financial services that help you make the best decisions for your retail business.
Our culture also translates into very low staff turnover, so you will see many of the same team members year after year. On that team will be a partner and a senior manager who will be available to discuss issues as they arise and to offer possible solutions.
We will look at your issues from all angles. We will accommodate your concerns in creative ways, while ensuring you remain in compliance.
