From Chaos to Compliance
Tige Boats was experiencing rapid growth and facing increasing lender requirements for audited financials, while still operating with outdated, informal processes.
We partnered with Tige Boats to transform their financial foundation.
How We Helped
- First Audit Success: Guided the company through its first-ever audit, ensuring compliance with GAAP and satisfying lender requirements.
- Process Overhaul: Streamlined and standardized financial procedures to prevent chaos during rapid growth, helping the company thrive amid skyrocketing demand during the COVID-driven boating boom.
- Knowledge Transfer: Worked closely with Tige’s team, providing education and support throughout the audit process.
- Expanded Tax Strategy: Transitioned tax services from a small local firm to Eide Bailly’s comprehensive resources, unlocking advanced strategies.
- Maximized R&D Credits: Collaborated with Tige’s design and production teams to identify qualifying activities, resulting in an R&D tax credit four times larger than the previous year.
