Advanced Manufacturing

Manufacture the Future

Advanced industrial companies are on the cutting edge of societal change. Highly technical and future-focused, businesses need to move fast, leverage innovation, and seize emerging opportunities.

Reaching your business’s full potential requires navigating key business challenges, like tax compliance, cybersecurity, and growth management, to create a solid foundation for potential transactions, IPO success, and continued advancement.

Explore our industry-specific solutions that can keep your company focused on the complexities involved with what matters most: innovating and bringing advanced goods to life.

Conquer Industry Challenges

Manage Growing Pains

Transitioning from a start-up to a multimillion-dollar company creates a variety of growth-induced pain points that can be hard to solve effectively and efficiently when the business is evolving quickly.

Proactively adjusting your infrastructure to accommodate a larger business capacity can range from implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, like NetSuite, to aligning incentive plans with business goals, which keeps your business prepared for potential transactions and moving forward.

Learn how you can keep your business aligned, growing, and open to opportunities by creating a solid foundation with our Compensation & Benefits, Business Intelligence and Data Analytics, Strategy & Operations Services, and more.

Execute Deals Confidently

Business mergers, consolidations, and outright purchases are common in the advanced manufacturing ecosystem, especially as private equity becomes a larger presence in the sector. Understanding how to make your company attractive to potential buyers is key to inviting opportunities.

Build a solid foundation for your transaction process with guidance customized to the specific risks, methods, and industry landscape of your event—proactively addressing tax compliance to accounting to recordkeeping and other areas fraught with pitfalls that can completely derail the sale. Gaining a detailed overview of the process and learning how to approach a transaction can help keep your company open to opportunities.

Offset Innovation Costs

Pursuing innovation, transforming your processes, or recovering from setbacks can come with considerable price tags. Fortunately, tax credits and incentives, that reward research and development, automation, and clean energy initiatives, can help alleviate those costs.

Leveraging emerging tax credits and incentives, such as R&D tax credits can offset operational costs and boost cash flow. Staying abreast of these opportunities and learning how to leverage them can open the door to more funding and a healthier bottom line.

Protect Data and Assets

Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, and the growing interconnectedness of the business landscape create cyberattack opportunities that cause costly damage to business’s operations, finances, and client relationships.

Proactively preparing for cyber-risks is far preferable to repairing the damage a breach can wreak. Test your current systems, or implement new ones, to help evaluate your safety levels and identify controls you need for further preventive measures.

Boost IPO Readiness

Positioning your business for a smooth IPO not only improves the likelihood of IPO success, but also improves the business’s value making it attractive at the first bell and beyond.

Aligning business functions and reporting needs to IPO requirements streamlines the application process and reduces complications. Proactively addressing SOX 404 compliance, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting needs, and other technical accounting issues can keep your business IPO-ready as well as attractive for other opportunities.

Address Geographic Impacts

Where your business operates and sources supplies is a significant business factor. Gaining insight into domestic and international tax and financial regulations can help your business stay ahead of tax compliance issues, avoid debilitating tax bills, and create optimal tax structures that keep your business future focused.

For companies exploring or pursuing onshore and nearshore operational moves as geopolitical climates shift and opportunities to leverage manufacturing-specific funding and tax incentives, having insight to country-specific tax laws and real estate intricacies are key to informed decision-making and strategic planning.
