YOUR PROFIT MARGINS DEPEND ON EFFECTIVE INTERACTION WITH YOUR SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS. WE UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF DISTRIBUTION.

In your business, inventory is everything. Buying it, selling it, moving it — all at the right price. With more than 50 years of experience, DKSS knows the distribution industry. We recognize the importance of monitoring exactly where you stand, and we work with you to help you measure your results, improve your turns and enhance your bottom line.

In addition to all of the traditional accounting, tax and advisory services you’d expect from our firm, we also offer a variety of services specifically geared to our wholesale and retail distribution clients.

ASSURANCE & ACCOUNTINGCost Accounting. What’s your real cost of doing business? Do you know your true profit margins by product? Knowing these numbers is a must. We’ll help you analyze data, determine your overhead rates and assist in product pricing to enhance your profitability.

Inventory Control. Distributors need data. An inventory control study will let you know if you have the right inventory in the right amount at the right time. Armed with this knowledge, you can contain costs, optimize profits and better manage your operations.

Benchmarking. How are you doing? By comparing your company’s key financial metrics to industry standards, we can help you measure your performance, identify trends and expose areas in need of improvement. These include receivable, payable and inventory turnover calculations, among others.

CFO for Hire. DKSS can step in as your CFO to ensure that financial reporting is accurate and appropriate. We can also help with budgeting, projections and other special projects.

Distribution today requires a diverse set of skills. We understand the complex needs of supply chain management.

TAXFederal and State Tax Credits and Studies. Cost segregation studies, research and experimentation, fuel, and employment credits are just a few of the many programs that could result in substantial tax savings. We are on top of these opportunities and can help you navigate them.

Multistate and Local Taxation. States and localities have dif-fering statutes governing the requirements to report income and activities. There are several ways to apportion and allocate income in the various locations where you do business. We’ll analyze and create a plan that will be most tax efficient for you.
