{ Manufacturing }

Because we serve 2,000 manufacturers,
we know the industry and its challenges

 
 
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. Learn more

Tax

Manufacturers like you have taken advantage of R&D tax credits when they developed new technology, added new equipment, introduced new materials, performed environmental testing, improved or built new manufacturing facilities, and/or streamlined internal processes. We can help you uncover unique opportunities for R&D tax credits in your operation.

Financial Statement Audit

When you engage a Plante Moran audit team, you can expect more than compliance because we know the manufacturing industry. Because we serve more than 1,000 manufacturers, we do extensive studies and benchmark best practices. As a result, our audit team understands the risks and opportunities manufacturers face and can provide meaningful recommendations for efficiency and control improvements.

Cost Management and Estimating

For manufacturers like you that survived the Great Recession there is a complex mix of opportunity and challenge. There are fewer companies competing, but the competition for new businesses is fierce.
