Specialized services for manufacturing and distribution
A unique offering of specialized accounting, tax, and advisory capabilities has been designed based on our long track record with manufacturers and distributors. Your requirements may include:
BUDGETING AND CASH FLOW PROJECTIONS
We use precise, forward-looking models and hypothetical scenarios to inform financial strategies — whether you’re on the offense or defense.
BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
We help you implement cloud-based technology systems designed to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize business risk. Our customized management dashboards improve decision-making by identifying and monitoring key performance indicators.
INVENTORY CONTROL
Our in-field and technical evaluation of current control methods exposes gaps and weaknesses in your procedures and finds points of shrinkage. With this intelligence, we recommend solutions that mitigate loss drivers.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Our team analyzes the full spectrum of trade and transition points from supplier contracts through delivery to look for inefficiencies, excessive cost-drivers, and poor performance in order to optimize end-to-end improvements.
Industry-Specific Accounting Support
We provide a range of customized accounting support services specific to the industries within the manufacturing and natural resource sector. For example, we help oil and gas companies disclose reserves, audit authorizations for expenditures (AFEs) and support joint interest arrangements.
Accounting Standards Update, Leases (ASC 842)
The private company deadline for implementing the new lease accounting standard is rapidly approaching. There are significant advantages to working with a firm having practical, proven experience in advising and assisting organizations in their efforts toward transitioning to Topic 842. Our team can advise and assist on all aspects of the new lease accounting standard, including implementation. Our detailed plan will focus on potential challenges and risks along the way.
Infrastructure Advisory
Now is the time to start building your qualifications and capabilities to maximize your potential to be awarded work on infrastructure projects. We can help you identify and understand likely government award criteria and make the operational changes necessary to strengthen your bids.
