Challenge

An international Fortune 100 manufacturer needed help understanding and taking advantage of the credits and incentives available in the many states where it operated. Although the company had efficient accounting practices in place, BDO sought to uncover opportunities that the company had not identified.

Recommendations

Working with the client’s in-house tax team, we reviewed the company’s business operations and previous tax returns against available credits and incentives for every state in which the client operated.

Results

Even companies with well-resourced tax departments can uncover new opportunities with a strategic credit and incentive review by an experienced advisor.
