It makes sense for a firm located in the Crossroads of America to have an active transportation practice, but our Transportation Services Group is one of the largest and most experienced in the country. The firm has been a leader in tax and business consulting for the trucking industry since our founding in 1942. We help more than 75 publicly and privately held carriers, large and small, throughout North America.
The depth and breadth of our understanding of the issues and regulations unique to the trucking industry is unsurpassed. We know trucking is a low-margin business, so we strive to find solutions for enhancing your performance and monitoring costs.
KSM’s affiliated company, KSM Transport Advisors LLC (KSMTA), was formed in 2006 as a collaboration with CFOex, Inc., a transportation financial advisory firm based in Knoxville, Tennessee. KSM Transport Advisors assists middle-market trucking companies with mergers and acquisitions, helping to find financing for those deals and improving profit. Clients benefit because, in addition to tax, accounting and auditing expertise, they get executive management and transaction experience that’s specific to the transportation industry.
We keep you informed of changes related to the financial side of the industry by publishing the Truck Times newsletter and hosting seminars on relevant topics.
We also co-host bi-annual roundtable discussions. Many of the trucking company executives who participate tell us these are invaluable in helping us fully understand their latest concerns and issues.
Our commitment to the industry is evidenced by our leadership and active involvement in the following state and national associations.
- Alabama Trucking Association
- American Trucking Associations
- Illinois Trucking Association
- Indiana Motor Truck Association
- Kentucky Motor Transport Association
