Your partner in Industrial Manufacturing
Whether you are a manufacturing company, contract manufacturer or supplier, margins are under pressure, markets are shifting, and laws and regulations are becoming more complex. You want to invest in growth and international expansion while keeping control of financing, tax, data, IT security and employment law.
Baker Tilly is your partner at the moments that matter. Our specialists with industry expertise speak the language of financials, acquisitions, financing, tax, IT and legal. Together with you, we bring strategy, financial insight and risk together, so you have one coherent picture for management, shareholders, banks and other stakeholders, financially, legally and operationally sound.
Who we support
Baker Tilly supports medium-sized and large national and international manufacturing companies, family-owned businesses and portfolio companies with production activities in the Netherlands. We can help you with questions about acquisitions and investments, financing, international structures, tax risks, data and IT security, statutory audits and employment law.
Owner-manager / CEO of a manufacturing business
As the owner-manager or CEO of a manufacturing company, you face complex decisions: investing in new production lines, pursuing acquisitions, expanding internationally or restructuring the business. Markets are moving quickly, while financing, tax, data/IT and employment law all bring risks. You want to seize opportunities without losing oversight of financing, tax, legal risks and the impact on your people and organisation.
CFO / Finance Director
As a Finance Director or Controller, you work at the intersection of strategy, operations and accountability. You need to translate acquisitions, investments, financing and tax into reliable figures and clear reporting, while laws and regulations may change and IT risks continue to increase.
HR-Manager
As an HR lead or plant manager in a manufacturing environment, you balance staffing levels, shift patterns, safety, production targets and employment law requirements every day. The labour market remains tight, international employees often play a growing role, and mistakes in contracts or procedures can be costly.
Your challenges, our solutions
Baker Tilly helps you translate challenges around growth through acquisitions, financing, tax, data and IT, and employment law into clear decisions and scenarios. We help you focus on what matters most, so that at the right moments you can clearly explain your decisions, the reasons behind them and their impact onyour business, employees and other stakeholders.
Growth, acquisitions and divestments
Acquisitions, joint ventures and divestments are strategic choices that affect the lifecycle of a business. You want to know what fits your strategy, what a realistic price is, and how to finance the transaction. Whether you are transferring ownership to the next generation or selling to a strategic buyer or private equity party, you want to stay in control of valuation, transaction structure and tax consequences.
Baker Tilly supports your acquisition strategy, buy-side and sell-side due diligence, valuations, financing memoranda and discussions with banks and other funders. This helps you achieve the right deal today, and prepared for tomorrow.
Financing and investment plans
New machines, lines or production sites require substantial investment. You want to be certain that your plans are financeable and aligned with your cash flows and risk profile. Funders expect clear plans, forecasts and scenarios, including attention to security packages, covenants and any international dimensions.
Our advisors help you develop investment plans, liquidity models and scenario analyses, and prepare financing applications. We advise on the optimal mix of bank financing and alternative external funding, as well as the impact on your balance sheet, results and tax position, so you can decide with confidence when to invest, and when not to.
Tax challenges at home and abroad
Industrial companies deal with corporate income tax, VAT, customs, transfer pricing, withholding taxes and schemes for R&D and investment. In international production and sales structures, the tax position can quickly become complex. You want to avoid surprises and be confident that your structure and filings are in order.
Baker Tilly advises on tax structuring, both in the Netherlands and internationally, transfer pricing, permanent establishments, withholding taxes and relevant incentives. We help you map risks, make choices and seize opportunities, for example in restructurings, cross-border activities or the setup of a foreign entity.
Data, IT and information security
Legislation on data, privacy and cybersecurity is becoming stricter, while customers expect reliable digital supply chains. You want to know whether your data is being collected correctly, how your systems are set up, and how to secure production and business data effectively. At the same time, you need to demonstrate compliance with standards and contractual obligations.
Our IT specialists and auditors help analyse your IT environment, implement appropriate controls, meet relevant standards and strengthen information security. We translate new laws and regulations into practical measures within your organisation and into reporting that is understandable for management, supervisory boards and regulators, so that digital risks become part of your regular governance.
Audit and clear reporting
Shareholders, banks and other stakeholders want reliable financial information. Statutory audits and other assurance engagements require an auditor who understands your business and is alert to risks linked to tour business and operations. You need reliable reporting that complies with laws and regulations.
Baker Tilly provides statutory and voluntary audits, other assurance engagements and reporting to financiers. We link our audit approach to clear communication with management, supervisory boards and funders, so everyone makes decisions based on the same information at the moments that matter.
HR, employment law and international working
The labour market is tight, while industrial companies often work with shift systems, flexible labour models and international employees. You want employment terms and contracts to be well organised, clarity on how to deal with expats and cross-border workers, and to prevent issues around dismissal, employee participation or restructuring.
Our legal and HR specialists advise on employment law, employee participation, expats and international secondment structures. They help shape policies and contracts and ensure that agreements and processes fit the reality of your manufacturing business, giving you a stable foundation for your workforce strategy and continuity on the shop floor.
