Manufacturing/Distribution
Whether they are producing or distributing durable or non-durable goods manufacturers and distributors are challenged to stay profitable. They face global competition and mounting costs for labor, raw materials, sourcing of goods, production and facilities, as well as escalating customer demands. It is vital that manufacturers and distributors explore new ways to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. Well managed manufacturers and distributors engage accounting firms that are trusted advisors to management in helping them solve these issues. RotenbergMeril is an accounting firm that is focused on tax minimization strategies for our clients and helping client management with timely financial reporting and business consulting services.

Manufacturers and distributors are involved in the global marketplace. Many of our clients have created manufacturing subsidiaries in some of the leading low cost markets of the world, such as in China, Mexico, and the Philippines. Others import from Europe, South America and Asia. Many taxing jurisdictions are now aggressively trying to maximize their taxing revenues by going after multinational organizations. It is imperative that you have an accountant with a strong knowledge of international tax treaties and transfer pricing strategies to assist in tax minimization and compliance. RotenbergMeril can assist in these areas by providing international tax expertise as well as consulting and working with resident tax professionals in other countries through our association with the MSI Global Alliance, an association of accounting firms worldwide.
