Business Incentives & Tax Credits

Empower sustainable growth with tax credits, incentives, and accounting method strategies.

Investment is the cornerstone of opportunity, and achieving financial flexibility is crucial for your business to thrive.

Businesses can unlock essential funding by taking advantage of the wide range of tax credits and incentives available at the federal, state, local, and international levels. However, navigating the regulatory requirements can be a complex undertaking.   

BDO helps you identify opportunities to improve your total tax posture, capturing business tax credits and discretionary incentives across multiple jurisdictions. We provide end-to-end guidance and support, from identifying lucrative opportunities for current, retroactive, and future tax years, to procurement and negotiation, to ongoing compliance. Our advisors also help you strategically apply business tax credit and accounting method strategies to align with your business goals – whether you’re seeking financing for innovation or focused on improving margins. If you are onshoring or expanding your U.S. operations, in addition to incentives negotiation, BDO can provide comprehensive site selection support to help you determine an optimal location for new facilities and achieve operational synergies and additional cost savings.
