Food & Beverage

Experience
RINA has extensive experience in the food and beverage processing industry. There are special considerations when working in this area due to the nature of the product. The shelf life of certain products demands unique handling which, in turn, requires special accounting considerations. The accommodations needed to do business with larger companies like warehouse stores and grocery chains can also lead to very unique accounting issues. The various union considerations present their own challenges both from an operational and an accounting perspective. Some of the services that we provide these clients are

Pricing and Manufacturing Cost Comparisons
RINA’s experience with pricing and manufacturing cost comparisons extends beyond traditional accounting services. We will compare industry standards with your results to see how you measure up with the competition. We will then use this information to help you set prices for your product.

Equipment Acquisition and Financing Arrangements
Our firm has extensive experience with cost justifications for equipment acquisitions and negotiations with lenders to finance them. We can assist you with the fact gathering and presentation of projected cost savings to justify these purchases.

Cost Segregation Studies
The unique components of a manufacturing facility can lead to accelerated tax depreciation deductions. We work with a number of cost segregation specialists in helping our clients properly develop depreciation schedules for their facilities.

Other food and beverage processing related services that we provide are as follows:

• Worker’s compensation analysis
• Transitions to second or third generation family members
