Baked Goods
Grains are one of Canada’s top agriculture success stories — so it’s no surprise that the nation’s baking industry accounts for $5 billion in sales every year. From large-scale commercial operations to smaller, regional plants, the potential within the baked goods sector is on the rise.
To seize the opportunity within this sector, every aspect of your business needs to be optimized — from your tax strategy to your approach to food safety. Every dollar saved in your manufacturing process is another dollar that can go toward enhancing your technology, researching new products and training your staff to produce the best products possible. We help identify opportunities to streamline operations, minimize your tax exposure and work closely with you to set and achieve your business goals.
