INDUSTRIES

Manufacturing,
Distribution,
& Retail

Maximized efficiency with your supply chain. A more diversified product line. Ensured sustainability. Manufacturing products now and into the future. You’re defining the future of your company, and pushing the industry forward. In order for you to remain viable and compete, strategic financial management — that is as sound as the products you make — is key.

In today’s highly competitive marketplace, you are challenged with producing products quickly and at a lower cost than the competition. The same goes with delivery. We specialize in assisting manufacturers and distributors of all types so that they can remain competitive and successful now and into the future.

Our Manufacturing, Distribution, & Retail Specialty Group is designed to help businesses navigate the complex and constantly evolving market. We apply our deep insight to develop sustainable solutions to create improved financial performance leveraged against operating costs.

Strategically Aligned

We have access to over 100 domestic and international firms that enable us to provide worldwide accounting and tax services to our clients.

Versatile Manufacturing Solutions

Our capabilities enable us to support companies of all sizes and structures, including family-owned, closely-held businesses.

We Know Manufacturing

We have the expertise and experience to help with acquisitions, expansions, and successions of existing operations.

Tomorrow depends on

where we decide to

go to today.

We recognize the need for manufacturers and distributors to continually innovate and evolve in this highly competitive market. It is now more imperative than ever to integrate a strategic approach when it comes to financial and operational matters. Sansiveri has been a true partner to makers and suppliers across Rhode Island and Southern New England.
