Manufacturing Accounting, Tax and Consulting Services

Our region of the country has a proud history in manufacturing: from soap to aircraft engines to machine tools and metal-working. Manufacturers remain a major driving force in the Midwest, but they face significant challenges when planning for growth.

Global inflation is causing commodity prices to rise. Our ongoing national debt could lead to higher taxes. Perhaps you have inventory on the shelves, eating up space and profits.

At Barnes Dennig, we provide our clients with the guidance to maximize the resources they can control and prepare for the conditions they cannot control - from our understanding of performance and financial metrics to the best use of tax credits and incentives to our proprietary research into compensation and benefits strategies.

We have a client service team dedicated to the needs and nuances of the manufacturing industry, and we have invested in a number of programs that enhance our knowledge of the unique issues facing manufacturers today. This experience helps our accountants see beyond the numbers and into the core operations of your industry, so they can not only provide you with accurate numbers but also explain what those numbers mean on the shop floor.

Value-Added Services

Our Manufacturing Team stays abreast of developments in the industry through memberships in Ohio Manufacturer’s Association, TechSolve and The Association for Operations Management (APICS).

To provide an exceptional level of service to our manufacturing clients, we have invested in a number of programs that provide additional value. Among these items are:

• The Manufacturers Roundtable Series – Forums that enable participants to network and discuss common challenges and opportunities.
• Manufacturing Benchmarking and Compensation Study – Information to help keep our wholesale/distribution clients up-to-date on pay scales by position, compensation strategies, local benchmarks, and recent trends in the industry.
• Manufacturing & Distribution Newsletter- An insighful newsletter published four times a year and dedicated to keeping our manufacturing clients up-to-date on recent trends.

What’s more, our professionals are well-versed in the areas such as:

• Profit Improvement
• Costing, Pricing and Quoting Analysis
• Inventory Optimization
• Strategic Planning

Barnes Dennig also monitors changes and explores new ideas in the more traditional industry issues of Inventory Control Techniques and Overhead Allocation Methods. Our tax specialists work to minimize your tax burden in working through the uniform capitalization rules.
