So, to help you make the most of your time and improve your business, we\u2019ve compiled a list of some of our favorite manufacturing economic resources for manufacturers:<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itreconomics.com\/\">ITR Economics<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of your role or even your industry sector, you can certainly benefit from ITR Economics, which provides business leaders with economic information, insight, analysis, and strategies to reduce risk and drive practical and profitable business decisions. ITR\u2019s monthly Trends Report includes four comprehensive reports covering the spectrum of today\u2019s U.S. and world economies, including a manufacturing forecast for most sectors, and ITR\u2019s monthly blog is also definitely worth checking out. ITR also has a 94.7% forecast accuracy one year out, so its track record speaks for itself! DVIRC is a huge fan of the company\u2019s dynamic CEO, Brian Beaulieu, who has spoken at several of our events. Want a taste of his insights? Check out a recent interview he conducted about ways manufacturers can sustain growth in 2019.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.claconnect.com\/\">Clifton Larson Allen<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>CLA provides industry-focused wealth advisory, outsourcing, audit, tax, and consulting services and has a wealth of resources devoted to Manufacturing and Distribution.

The results are summarized and analyzed in four key areas essential to the health and sustainability of any company: leadership, execution, growth, and finances.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kmco.com\/\">Kreischer Miller<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Kreischer Miller is a leading independent accounting, tax, and advisory firm serving manufacturers in the Greater Philadelphia area.
