Partnering with Environmental Businesses for a Brighter Future
Environmentally focused businesses face a unique set of accounting challenges. Copeland Buhl’s environmental accounting team provides proactive planning and in-depth analysis of each client’s business model to uncover opportunities to minimize taxes as you invest in the major assets necessary to take your business to the next level.
Comprehensive Solutions for Environmental and Waste Management Businesses
Expanding an environmental business requires capital investment in major assets like garbage trucks and transfer sites. From small waste collection businesses to diversified operations with multiple landfills and recycling centers, our tax specialists are well-versed in federal and state tax incentives for environmental solutions and waste management companies. We understand the importance of strong banking relationships and can help you secure the necessary financing for growth, whether you need a debt-to-cash flow analysis or audited financial statements.
- Tax Incentives for Environmental Companies
Minnesota motor fuel tax refund – Newer garbage trucks, including those equipped with robotic arms, typically can qualify for the Minnesota fuel tax credit. Due to the 14-month lookback period of this generous state-level tax credit, Copeland Buhl clients have qualified for monthly refunds that total in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Research and development (R&D) credits – Many environmental solutions companies may be eligible for federal and state R&D tax credits, including those investing in new waste management processes or recycling technologies.
- Expert Guidance at Every Stage of Growth
As waste management companies grow, they often attract the interest of larger companies seeking to expand their market share. If you’re considering a transaction, Copeland Buhl can help you prepare for financial due diligence. Whether you’re evaluating a potential acquisition, preparing for a sale, or seeking investment, we can assist with transitioning to more professional financial statements to provide a clear picture of your company’s financial performance and future potential. This helps potential buyers or investors gain a realistic understanding of your company’s likely future performance.
