Manufacturing & Distribution

Accounting and advisory support for manufacturers and distributors

CPA Services for Producers & Distributors

Built Around a Complex Industry

North Carolina has long been a center for manufacturing and distribution, supported by its East Coast location, deepwater seaports, transportation infrastructure, education and training partnerships, and access to major trucking and logistics networks.

Today’s manufacturers and distributors are navigating global competition, changing supply chains, evolving regulations, and continued pressure to improve processes and efficiency. DMJPS brings an understanding of these challenges and the financial, tax, and management considerations behind them.

Our manufacturing and distribution professionals work collaboratively with clients to understand their operations, identify opportunities, and provide the financial information they need to make informed decisions.

Privately Held Businesses DMJPS Works With

Experience Across the Supply Chain

For more than 75 years, DMJPS has worked with privately held businesses in North Carolina and across the country. Our CPAs and consultants bring manufacturing and distribution experience to the table, providing detailed analysis and practical guidance around financial performance, tax strategy, compliance, and operations.

That support extends beyond our own team. We’ve built strong working relationships with bankers, insurers, attorneys, and other professionals, giving clients access to additional resources when their needs cross disciplines.

Addressing What Holds Business Back

Production, distribution, and logistics are closely connected to the financial side of the business. Our professionals help manufacturers and distributors identify issues that may be limiting efficiency, manage tax and compliance obligations, and evaluate opportunities for growth and investment.

Tax Planning & Compliance

Tax and government regulation create both obligations and opportunities. We help manufacturers stay compliant while identifying applicable state and federal incentives, including R&D tax credits and export-related opportunities.

International Tax & Supply Chains

From sourcing raw materials to managing global supply chains, imports, and export opportunities, manufacturers need reliable information to evaluate decisions in an international marketplace.

Inventory Costing

Support for inventory costing methods and related accounting considerations that affect financial reporting and tax planning.

Section 263A

Guidance with Section 263A adoption and compliance requirements for applicable production and inventory costs.

Mergers & Acquisitions
Whether acquiring another company or preparing to sell, advance planning can help businesses understand their position and work toward maximizing value throughout the transaction.
Internal Controls & Fraud Prevention

Well-designed and consistently monitored internal controls can reduce the risk of fraud, errors, and other financial issues while supporting stronger business processes.

Expansion & Economic Incentives

Expansion and job creation may open the door to tax abatements, training grants, and other state or local incentives. We help businesses evaluate opportunities as part of their broader growth plans.
