Manufacturing and Distribution
Focused on Innovation
As a manufacturer/distributor, you rely on efficiency and quality control to assemble superior products and get them to market quickly. The constant need for innovation, whether through new or better products to meet changing consumer demands, improvements in the manufacturing process, or finding new channels of distribution, are all critical to overall profitability.
Most U.S. based companies either have an international presence or manage international third party relationships in the production of their products through complex supply chain relationships. With this come many challenges including changing technologies, the need to constantly improve operational, cybersecurity and other control exposures, along with opportunities to take advantage of global tax planning strategies among other cost saving solutions.
Citrin. Cooperman’s Manufacturing and Distribution Practice is excited to announce the launch of our 2nd annual industry survey. This year's survey explores the impact of the pandemic on the industry and how businesses pivoted to survive, including managing new product offerings, technology implementation, and supply chain disruptions.

“Citrin has proven to be a highly valuable resource to Eastern Salt. I give them my highest recommendation, not only for the regular compliance needs of your Organization, but also for their ability to assist with complex transactions.”
“As a middle market apparel manufacturer, we are limited in our ability to maintain in-house expertise across all aspects of business and financial management. Through the resources of the Citrin Cooperman organization, we have not only found a partner in the management and execution of our financial reporting and tax preparation, but also in area specific expertise such as regulatory controls. The team at Citrin has guided us through mandated 401K audits as well as financial positioning necessitated by changes in industry economics. Through the hands on approach of both a managing partner and account principal working collaboratively with our management team and other supporting professionals we have enjoyed the benefit of having our own board of advisors. Citrin supplies big four expertise with boutique attention.”
“Upon joining the company, 3 years ago, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Albert Salem and Citrin Cooperman. The experience has been great. Albert generously provided his time to help me acclimate to the company. Throughout, Albert has shown a willingness to consider new concepts and provided his expertise to make them a reality. It is reassuring to me that Albert is just a phone call away and readily available to help solve any issue. Albert remains a great partner to both me and company management.”
