Manufacturing & Distribution
In the manufacturing industry, it’s all about increasing throughput. Customers demand better products, and they want them at a lower cost.

The professionals in our Manufacturing and Distribution Services Group are dedicated to helping you identify opportunities for improvement in all aspects of your business.

While we provide tax compliance and assurance services, what sets us apart is the entrepreneurial manner in which those services are delivered.

Whether it’s helping find tax credits for employee training or developing a profit improvement process, we offer a wide range of strategic solutions to make your company more efficient, competitive and profitable.

Our team complements its real-world experience with continuing education and involvement in industry associations. And because our clients have operations throughout the U.S. and around the world, we are a member of an international alliance of premier independent accounting firms, which means we can provide superior services nationally and internationally.
 
We keep you informed of changes related to the financial and operational side of the industry by publishing The Manufacturing Advisor newsletter and hosting seminars on relevant topics.
 
Each year, KSM's Manufacturing and Distribution Services Group publishes The Gear and Fulcrum: Performance and Practice of Indiana's Manufacturers, a detailed survey designed to determine how businesses tactically operate, and how those tactics manifest into features of increased operational competitiveness. This annual survey is a  collaborative project with the Dauch Center for the Management of Manufacturing Enterprises (DCMME) and the Global Supply Chain Management Initiative (GSCMI) at Purdue’s Krannert School of Management.
