Manufacturing
Duff Kitchel has always represented a variety of manufacturing companies. We have extensive experience dealing with cost accounting systems as an integral part of successful financial management for manufacturing companies. Analyzing both tax and financial aspects of capital expenditures also play a key part in efficient financial management.
Recent services include the development of complex and effective internal accounting systems for multiple profit centers, negotiation of a credit facility, and assistance with a leveraged recapitalization with a private equity firm.
Other recent manufacturing experience includes:
- Analyzed the timing of new manufacturing equipment purchase relative to new tax laws for a local energy services company. Analysis resulted in a $75,000 tax savings and purchase of the equipment in subsequent year.
- Converted steel fabrication company from C-Corp to S-Corp for federal income tax reporting. Conversion minimized potential double taxation relative to sustained growth.
- Assisted with sale of a construction company as part of a management succession plan.
