Mobility & Transportation
The automotive industry is experiencing disruption as technology and user behavior are transforming traditional vehicle manufacturing.
As legislation, consumer demand and supply chains change, the sector will continue to expand. Baker Tilly can help automotive companies adapt and new companies enter the market.
Transportation and logistics solutions
Data and cybersecurity
With the increasing reliance on digital technologies, T&L companies are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks. They are implementing robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive information, such as customer records and shipping timetables. By focusing on compliance with cybersecurity regulations companies can help avoid financial losses and reputational damage.
Transaction advisory services
During mergers, acquisitions (M&A) or other transactions it's important to ensure the accuracy and reliability of financial statements to make informed decisions. M&A advisory services in the T&L sector involve deep industry knowledge to help navigate complex transactions, reduce risks and achieve strategic goals. We help provide expertise in areas like freight forwarding, truck brokerage, warehousing and transportation management to help companies navigate complex transactions, optimize value and ensure compliance with tax regulations.
Federal funding incentives
The increasing emphasis on domestic content, driven by programs such as Build America Buy America (BABA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), has added new layers of complexity to supply chain management. These programs offer significant tax credits and incentives for T&L companies to invest in clean energy solutions. These include credits for solar panels, electric vehicles, geothermal power and energy storage systems. The location of production sites and other supply chain designs will also need to take energy and emission costs related to logistics processes into account. Baker Tilly’s T&L, tax and energy specialists can help guide your organization through the complexities and how to effectively position your project to receive and maximize eligible tax credits.
Supply chain consulting
The T&L industry is facing operational nuances with long lead times and unavailability of materials. To stay competitive, supply chain companies need effective strategies to optimize logistics, procurement and overall operations.
Our teams possess deep expertise in areas such as product development, complexity reduction, supply chain configuration, manufacturing efficiency, procurement and supply chain management and logistics.
