Manufacturing Industry Services Group

NCNP’s Manufacturing Industry Services Group is dedicated to serving the complex needs of manufacturers, who are challenged everyday by the complexities of a global economy, with extreme market competition and unprecedented opportunities.

Our team of specialized professionals has extensive experience providing technical and entrepreneurial support for our manufacturing clients who represent over one-third of our practice. While some people expect the traditional from a firm whose roots go back to the 1930’s, that’s not how we operate. We search for the innovative answer, not cookie-cutter solutions. This is done by being as interested in our client’s business as they are, by knowing what makes their business "tick", by applying common sense and resourcefulness to whatever situations arise, and by using all the firm’s resources to help our clients achieve their objectives.

Our membership in the CPA Manufacturing Services Association, a national association of select Certified Public Accounting firms specializing in servicing the manufacturing industry, demonstrates our commitment to the manufacturing industry as well as providing our clients with an invaluable technical and geographical resource.

Our membership in The American Production and Inventory Control Society, Inc. (APICS) means that our clients benefit from experts who are up-to-date on the latest trends occurring in production processes, supply chain management, product costing and inventory control.

What this means is that our clients get the advice they need to succeed, when they need it.
