Accountants for manufacturing SMBs.

Between raw materials, labour and overhead, knowing what each product truly costs is the most valuable number in a plant. We build that visibility, and go get the tax credits you're entitled to.

Where the money is made or lost

Reliable product costing

Materials, direct labour, allocated overhead: we build a complete cost per product and per line. Your quotes rest on real costs, never on a hunch again.

Inventory and WIP properly valued

Materials, work in progress, finished goods: their valuation directly moves your results and your taxes. We set up counting routines and a valuation method that holds up: including in front of your banker.

Credits and depreciation maximized

Manufacturing equipment, digital transformation, process R&D: available tax credits change from one budget to the next (C3i, SR&ED and other current programs). We sort them out under the rules of the day: with specialized partners when the file calls for it.

What the engagement can include

  • Bookkeeping and payroll built for a production environment
  • Financial statements delivered on time, review or audit when your lenders require it
  • Investment and innovation tax credit claims
  • Profitability analysis by product, line and customer
  • Planning for equipment purchases, depreciation and financing

FAQ · manufacturing

Shop-floor questions

Do my process improvements qualify for credits?
Often, yes. Equipment purchases or work involving technological uncertainty can qualify for tax credits: programs evolve (C3i, SR&ED and others). We review your projects annually under the current rules so nothing is left on the table.
My bank requires a review engagement. What does that change?
A review provides a level of assurance between a compilation and an audit: the typical lender requirement as financing grows. Our CPA auditors perform it and plan the calendar so your statements reach the lender before the deadline, not after.
How do I know which products are actually profitable?
By building a fully loaded cost per product, overhead included. The result almost always surprises: a minority of products carry the margin, and a few "best sellers" turn out to lose money. Then come the real decisions: pricing, mix, discontinuation.

Every product leaving the plant should earn its keep. Let's verify it.
