Manufacturing & Consumer Goods
Manufacturing and consumer goods companies face a set of tax challenges that generalist CPAs rarely understand deeply — UNICAP, inventory methods, R&D credits for process improvement, multi-state nexus from distribution, and international tax exposure from foreign subsidiaries. Vallou has spent over a decade working inside these businesses. We know the nuances, and we bring that depth to every engagement.

Built for the Complexity of Manufacturing
Manufacturing and consumer goods companies power the economy, but running one means navigating a level of tax complexity that most CPAs never encounter. Thin margins, complex cost structures, multi-state distribution, foreign subsidiaries, and transactions that can define a generation of ownership all require a tax advisor who genuinely understands the business, not just the return.
Vallou has deep expertise working working manufacturing and consumer goods companies, advising on everything from UNICAP and R&D credits to deal structuring and international tax. We work with founder-owned and growth-stage businesses that are building something and planning ahead.

-
Multi-state nexus, PTET elections, GILTI, and foreign subsidiary compliance — managed proactively, not reactively.
-
From due diligence to deal structure to post-close planning, the tax decisions in a transaction can be worth millions.

The right structure reduces your tax burden today and positions you for an exit tomorrow.
