We Understand the Business Behind the NumbersYou’re not just looking for a clean audit or timely return. You need advisors who understand what happens when sales slow, margins tighten, or your controller is stretched too thin. At BPS, we speak the language of manufacturing leadership—whether it’s reconciling ERP data to GAAP, modeling for a major equipment purchase, or navigating site-specific sales tax audits. |
Long-Term Partners, Not a New Team Every YearWith BPS, you work with senior-level professionals who stay with your business over time. We show up when it counts—on the plant floor, in the boardroom, and after hours when needed. Our team becomes part of yours, helping you prepare for what’s next, not just report on what happened. |
Right-Sized Support for the Middle MarketWe focus on privately held, often family-owned companies with $50M–$1B in revenue, businesses that need sophisticated support but don’t want the bureaucracy or junior teams of a national firm. We know the balance between being efficient and being available. |
Built for Forward MomentumMany firms are reactive. We aim to be one step ahead—bringing tax strategies to the table early, identifying compliance gaps before regulators do, and structuring your data so you can make faster, better decisions. |
Does BPS have experience supporting family-owned manufacturing companies?
Many of our clients are multi-generational family businesses. We understand the need to balance legacy, leadership transitions, and long-term value creation. From buy-sell agreements to estate planning and family governance, we can help protect both relationships and enterprise value.
Our manufacturing business operates in multiple states (and countries). Can BPS handle the tax complexity?
Yes. Our multi-state and international tax teams build nexus maps, optimize entity structures, and manage credits—from sales & use to R&D and 179D—so you stay compliant and cash-efficient as you expand.
We’re growing fast and adding locations. How do we scale our financial operations without outgrowing our systems?
We help you assess whether your current finance function, reporting systems, and entity structures can scale. Then we build a plan—whether that’s centralized reporting, shared services models, or bolt-on processes—to support growth without adding unnecessary headcount or complexity.
We’re planning to enter a new market or product line. How can BPS help de-risk that expansion?
We support go/no-go analysis, competitive benchmarking, cost structure modeling, and pricing strategy. We also help clients evaluate the tax and regulatory landscape for new regions or products, so you expand confidently and compliantly.
Are your advisors familiar with my manufacturing company’s ERP system?
We routinely work with Epicor, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, and several custom platforms. Even if your system is proprietary, we map data to GAAP and tax requirements efficiently, minimizing IT burden on your staff.
Can BPS help our internal finance team improve processes or reporting?
Absolutely. We regularly provide process audits, help streamline monthly closes, build custom financial dashboards, and train internal teams on best practices for reporting, variance analysis, and decision support.
We haven’t updated our internal controls in years. Can BPS help?
Definitely. It’s a common issue among fast-growing manufacturers. We identify gaps, recommend improvements, and give you clear guidance on how to reduce risk and strengthen oversight—without slowing down operations.
Can BPS help us prepare for a potential audit or regulatory review?
Yes. We conduct internal controls assessments, documentation reviews, and audit readiness checklists that mirror what regulators or external auditors will ask. Whether it’s for financial reporting, sales tax, or a government incentive program, we help you walk in confident and prepared.
Can BPS help with succession planning or an eventual sale of our manufacturing business?
Absolutely. We work with your ownership team to craft a tax-efficient exit strategy, benchmark valuation multiples, and prepare quality-of-earnings reports. Whether passing the business to the next generation or positioning for a strategic sale, we’ll make sure you’re ready when opportunity knocks.
Can BPS work directly with our lenders or legal team?
Yes. We frequently collaborate with bankers, lawyers, and even PE firms to support our clients’ financing, deal, or compliance needs. We know what third parties expect—and we help ensure you’re prepared.
