Heavy Equipment
Seize opportunity for dealers, rental fleets, owners, and more
Heavy equipment and trucking companies have significant opportunity thanks to emerging infrastructure projects, the transaction environment, and more.
Businesses, however, can face unique economic and operational challenges before pursuing them due to complex compliance and state and local tax requirements, ever-changing demands for infrastructure projects, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supply chain issues, and other industry-specific concerns. And these hurdles can be exacerbated based on the various sectors — agriculture, construction, government services, and more — to which they’re directly linked.
Explore how our industry-smart advisory solutions can help your business stay ahead of change and focus on what matters most: supporting projects and growing your business.

Cybercriminals infiltrate businesses at alarming rates with targets including trade secrets, sensitive business information, financial systems, and more.
A security breach could have massive financial and reputational implications for your company — ranging from regulatory penalties, infrastructure disruption, stolen funds, and damaged customer relationships — if sensitive data leaks or critical systems become inoperable or are threatened to be deleted through a ransomware attack.
The most effective way to mitigate a breach is to prevent one from happening. Test your current systems to evaluate your safety levels and identify controls you can implement, or new systems needed, to enhance your IT security.
Prepare your business before a cyberattack strikes with our cybersecurity services.
Additional key focus areas
- Offset rental fleet costs. Renting and managing large fleets brings significant demands. We can help you evaluate and identify strategic practices for your operations as well as evaluate opportunities to improve your cash flow and net tax rates by implementing tax strategies for new and used inventories.
- Enhance systems and operations. Identify missed opportunities or weaknesses in your dealer management system (DMS) with thorough exception reports from your system.
- Manage new building projects. Developing or building new dealerships or fleet locations brings complexities — managing change orders, contract budgets, internal controls — that can drive construction costs and derail timelines. Keep your projects on track and leverage savings opportunities with strategic assessments of pre-contract parameters to outline costs and expectations prior to construction start-dates, as well as prepare management practices for change orders should they arise.
