Manufacturing & Distribution

For manufacturers to compete and remain profitable in a changing economy, their financial statements need to do more than satisfy stakeholder requirements or a regulatory compliance checklist. You need your financial statements to provide insight into your operational and financial performance so you can develop your future strategy. We ensure financial reporting is up to industry standards and requirements through audit, review and compilations. Our audit professionals understand the complexities manufacturing entities face including inventory costing, fixed asset recordkeeping, overhead application, and revenue recognition, and have experience to bring best practices into the assurance services.

For manufacturers, domestic and international tax burdens and regulations can be barriers to growth. Windham Brannon guides manufacturing companies through local, multistate and international tax planning, including transfer pricing, depreciation, tax credits and deductions, tax controversy and integrated tax planning for businesses and their owners. We help you fully integrate U.S. and worldwide income to avoid excess taxation, fines and penalties.

Currently auditing more than 150 benefit plans for our clients including defined benefit, defined contribution, health and welfare plans and ESOPs, Windham Brannon has a long history of providing employee benefit plan audits for a wide range of plans, helping you ensure your fiduciary responsibilities for you and your employees.
