Over the years, the team at Johnson, Price & Sprinkle has worked for a variety of clients both large and small, covering an array of industries. While the services we offer can be customized for any business, we have become familiar with several industries in particular:
Retail
At Johnson, Price & Sprinkle, we work with clients who sell everything from automobiles to
furniture to clothing, as well as independent and franchised restaurants. We help identify
issues related to pricing structure, management of inventory and maximizing position in an
increasingly competitive marketplace. And our technology services professionals can help
businesses choose the best point-of-sale software and train staff in its use.
BACK TO MENUProfessional Services
Johnson, Price & Sprinkle has extensive experience working with professional-service
practices including physicians, lawyers, engineers and architects. New companies seek avenues
for securing startup capital and assistance with business plans, while established companies
often
need help overcoming stagnation due to factors both internal and external. And principals in
any business eventually need help with succession or exit strategies to ensure that the assets
they've built can be converted into long-term security and success.
Construction and Real Estate Development
Our construction and real estate clients include small residential builders, large commercial
contractors, real estate developers and highway construction companies working on both
private and government jobs. Regardless of the scope of the project, these clients are faced
with numerous challenges on a daily basis, such as estimating, bonding, securing sufficient
loans, maximizing labor efficiency and managing cash flow. We'll help set up an accounting
process that will capture job costs, providing the necessary data for tax and accounting
reporting.
ERISA
We have more than 25 years of experience designing, administering and auditing employee
benefit plans, including medical, dental, welfare and retirement programs. These plans face
extensive regulation under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) —
regulation that has increased in the wake of recent corporate scandals. As a member of the
ACPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center — and thanks to extensive formal
education and practical experience — our team is ready to help clients create and maintain
plans that balance Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor and human resources
requirements while providing maximum benefit for employee and employer alike.
Manufacturing
Data accumulation for manufacturing clients must serve financial and tax-reporting needs
while providing performance analysis that helps nurture a stable, competitive business. We
help bring structure to these clients as they strive to boost production, streamline inventory
and improve profitability. These businesses seek our advice in dealing with foreign
competition as they search for opportunities for diversification — or even simplification — of
product lines to help carve a deeper niche in the marketplace.
Cooperatives
Our cooperative clients provide many of the same services as our other clients, but with an
extra layer of tax and legal restrictions. Our team is familiar with the special issues related to
establishing bylaws, determining member allocations and making sure all records are
in compliance with tax codes…all while guarding the confidentiality of each member. We have
also provided benchmarking and advisory services for co-op owners. The ultimate goal is to
maximize tax advantages while retuning maximum annual profit for each owner.
Not-for-Profit
While largely governed by volunteer boards and not bottom-line oriented, a healthy non-
profit can't neglect the business side of operations. We help these clients — which include
conference centers, camps, churches and social-service organizations — identify goals and
objectives that lead to a stable financial picture. We can assist new organizations wishing to
obtain 501(c)(3) recognition. And we guide boards of directors in understanding the reporting
requirements
necessitated by restricted revenue sources, including federal, state and private funding.
Trucking
Whether local, regional or national in coverage, trucking companies operate on a very thin
profit margin. Client goals center on finding the ideal balance between drivers, fleet and
available freight, breaking down the cost of each delivery and maximizing traffic lanes.
Trucking clients also face decisions related to insurance, financing and capital needs. Our
targeted approach to financial analysis can provide the tools to create a few extra cents'
profit per mile and take the company to the next level.
