How often should manufacturers be reviewing their costing?🤔

Once a year used to be acceptable. In today's economy, it's not enough.

Raw materials can shift prices weekly or monthly. A pricing model built on old numbers puts your profitability at risk.

The minimum bar we set for our clients is to review and update costs at least twice a year and that's being generous.

How often is your business reviewing its numbers?

Did your business pay tax penalties or interest between 2020-2023?

In Kwong v. United States, a court found that the IRS may not have correctly applied pandemic-era deadline extensions when assessing certain penalities and interest. That could mean some of the assessments shouldn't have been charged at all.
This is a time-sensitive issue since July 10, 2026, is expected to be a key date for making a claim in many cases. This refund wouldn't be automatic, so eligible taxpayers would need to take action. The IRS is appealing the decision, so the law is still developing. Read our blog to find out more and reach out to us if you think this might apply to you. https://hubs.li/Q04hZxsz0
