Manufacturing
As our Oregon state song goes, we are “Land of the Empire Builders”; hard-workers with grit and passion laboring to forward our creative and thriving manufacturing and wholesale distribution industry in worldwide directions. While the heartbeat of our state’s economy, growing manufacturing and distribution companies face constant changes in the marketplace--increased competition, economic uncertainty, obstacles to expansion, changing trends and growing inventory problems, to name just a few. In this volatile industry, success is dependent upon swift management decisions, accurate prediction of future trends and the guidance of a sound business advisor. For many Northwest-rooted businesses, Perkins & Co is this advisor.
If you are a Northwest-based, globally bound manufacturing or wholesale distribution company, you can look to us to help navigate these unchartered waters and coach you through these complex accounting and business issues. Working with you, we focus on your operational goals, objectives and strategies, helping you compete in a global economy and gain market share. We can also tap the national and international expertise and resources of BDO, the world’s fifth largest accounting firm and the ever-expanding BDO Seidman Alliance.
