WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING...
Research and Development Tax Credit
"I did not know that I was entitled to government based research and development tax credits and incentives. In such a competitive industry as ours, why wouldn't I want to get back some of my hard earned money. I am now able to capture most of the expenditures for R&D efforts." Tom Bass, CFO, Sandberg Furniture
"The team has made the method of capturing the research & development tax credits simple and direct. They worked with me and my CPA to analyze the opportunity and provide me with clarity on the range of opportunity as well as detaiing the amount of cash flow. They have, thus far, provided nothing short of excellene in professionalism and service. Getting from point A to Z will be a painless process. We can't wait to claim what we deserve." Chris Burgess, Executive Vice President, Arcadia Chair Company
Insurance Programs
"'Insurance carriers just don't like furniture manufacturers!' That was the response I heard from my longtime insurance agent when he was trying to find workers comp - and then later a business protection package - at reasonable rates from his group of second-tier carriers. It wasn't until I called Richard Masters, CFMA's insurance broker, that I found the coverage I needed from A+ rated carriers at overall savings of 40% over other quotes." Richard Furnari, President & CEO, Triangle Furniture Corporation
Networking
"Meeting and networking with fellow members is at the very top of my list of CFMA membership benefits. Over the past 20 or so years I've gotten many profitable business referrals from other manufacturing segments and even competitors in the upholstery business! CFMA members are nice people too and it's easy and fun to get to know them at CFMA seminars and events." Burt Grimes, President, Pacific West Furniture Manufacturing, Inc.
Information and Knowledge
"We have been members of CFMA for more than 20 years and without exception, each of those years the benefits have far outweighed our cost for dues. Knowing about industry trends and issues consistently keeps us ahead of the competition and CFMA does a great job of keeping us in the loop. It's hard to say how many thousands of dollars we've saved with the ideas we've taken away from the speakers at CFMA seminars and conferences and from talking with other members." Ron Hoesterey, President, Royal Mattress Co., Inc.
