Manufacturing Accounting Team

Our Manufacturing, Distribution & Retail Experts

We’re dedicated specialists focused on manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Our people have been providing services to manufacturing, distribution and retail companies for more than 35 years. They’re well versed in industry trends and the specialized business, tax and accounting issues that can be used to your advantage.

Our Thought Leaders

We’re more than CPAs and business advisors. We’re creative problem solvers. We go beyond the typical responsibilities you’d expect from an accounting firm. We find the questions that haven’t been asked and the solutions that haven’t been tried. We show our clients how to learn from the past and move into the future on solid footing.

What our Clients Say

It is comforting to know that we have a dedicated, knowledgeable team of professionals that can assist us in an array of business issues including financial reporting, banking, tax matters, technology issues and ideas to assist growth. For any issue that arises, Janet and Stan’s teams are only a phone call away and I have taken advantage of that on numerous occasions. I have found that through blum, I have access to a wealth of general business experience and a network of domestic and international advisors on the most complicated of issues.

- L. Stephen Prout, President, Alpha Q

Colt selected blum as its audit firm based on several criteria, which included blum’s knowledge of the manufacturing industry and related accounting concepts, blum’s ability to bring Big Four trained partners to the Colt account to maintain a level of rigor, blum’s office proximity to Colt—allowing for ease of communication and relationship building, and blum’s commitment to Colt to provide the resources necessary to meet Colt’s reporting deadlines.

- Martin Newton, Chief Financial Officer, Colt

blum has provided complex audit, tax, consulting and fraud assessment services for Conval, Inc., for over ten years. What truly impresses me is that Janet and her dedicated team have gone far beyond the traditional scope of work that most firms provide. They have become our trusted business advisors, assisting us in choosing specialty resources, programs, and even assisting Conval with the implementation of new systems. Janet and her team are only a phone call away and I have taken advantage of that on numerous occasions. I have found that through blum, I have access to a wealth of general business experience and a network of domestic and international advisors on the most complicated of issues.

- Christopher Schweitzer, CFO, Conval

As a techy, I’m usually aware of new software and technology. A year ago that was certainly the case with MS Power BI, which I had seen and attempted to use, but I could not see where the software’s real ‘edge’ was. Then I attended blum's ‘Dashboard in A Day’ event. Within two hours of the start of the course I turned to my colleague and said ‘we’ll never use Excel again.’ blum literally unlocked the huge potential of Power BI for me. Six months on I can confirm that, having been an advanced user of Excel for 20+ years, I now use MS Power BI for over 90% of the work I would have previously used MS Excel for.

- Mark Pritchard, CFO, Data-Mail

Our company was faced with the daunting task of integrating our process, customer service, accounting, sales, and operational metrics into a single platform that could capture data from multiple sources and transform it into actionable information. We selected blum from a field of eight competing companies for this task. Their Business Enterprise Review (BER) process, their willingness to work in stages without commitments beyond each stage, and their experience in similarly entrepreneurial settings were keys to our selection of them as our vendor.

- Russell Hoehn, Parallel Products

The Belknap White Group is comprised of various companies, operating in multiple states and ranging in size from small to large businesses. blum has been our chosen accounting firm for over 20 years, handling a variety of our business needs from annual audits and tax returns, to assistance with company acquisitions and strategic planning. The team that blum has assembled is not only knowledgeable, timely and efficient on the audit and tax side, which quite frankly we expect, they are our trusted business partners. They go far beyond what one would expect of their accounting firm.

- Gary Doster, CFO, The Belknap White Group
