Manufacturing & Distribution

Increasing Efficiency Is Just One Way We Can Help

A competitive market and rising costs in labor, raw materials, production and facilities are just some of the many challenges facing manufacturers and distributors today. As a result, improving efficiency across operations remains a top priority.

We Keep Your Operations Humming

BerganKDV has extensive experience serving clients in manufacturing and distribution, and our matrix of services and expertise allows us to consult on ways to improve manufacturing efficiency throughout our clients’ operations. For example, because attracting and maintaining a high quality workforce is such a critical need, we offer an integrated solution suite that streamlines everything from time and labor to payroll, benefit administration and other key HR processes. We can also help by providing expert wealth management and retirement services to help with highly compensated employees and employees who are nearing retirement.

Unlike more narrowly focused professional services firms, we can have an impact on clients’ financial, tax and compliance matters. For example, we can evaluate our client’s tax entity choice (i.e., whether they’re an S- or C-corporation) to determine whether changing to a different entity would have tax advantages. We can also consult on equipment acquisition and timing, and provide guidance on even the most complex state tax issues. And of course, we can help clients take maximum advantage of the latest changes to tax law — such as the new provision that allows companies with under $125 million in revenue to move from accrual reporting to cash reporting, potentially saving significant amounts.

Last but not least, we can provide many services that improve not only manufacturing efficiency but also day-to-day operations — from consulting on and implementing platforms such as NetSuite and Traction/EOS, to strengthening cybersecurity systems, to providing fractional CFO services for clients with temporary gaps in their financial leadership. Best of all, we can coordinate all the services you need — not only to create greater manufacturing efficiency, but also to keep processes across your organization operating at peak efficiency.
