We Are Thorough
Our consultants’ compensation is performance-based. This ensures they will examine each and every vendor invoice – no matter how large or small the dollar amount – to identify refunds and credits.

Whether your AP records are hard copy, digital, centrally-located or kept at multiple facilities across several states, CCG can and will accommodate the full scope of your Review with ease.
Sales & Use Tax Recovery & Savings Services
Having a Manufacturers Exempt status does not guarantee Sales & Use Tax Overpayments won’t occur.
In fact, our experience indicates that over 90% of manufacturers continue to overpay these taxes and/or miss qualified credit opportunities. That’s why savvy companies work with outside Consultants to provide the checks and balances critical to Sales & Use Tax-related best practices.
The only question is “Who should we use”?
Ideally, you’d want dedicated Sales & Use Tax specialists with decades of enterprise-wide experience to maximize any Accounts Payable-related Recovery and Savings opportunities without wasting your valuable time or charging a fee unless Benefits are identified. This exactly describes CCG’s comprehensive services – and because CCG's fee is performance-based, there’s absolutely no risk in having us analyze your Sales & Use Tax spend for you.
With our Asset Management Barcode System This Technology will Make certain you are not declaring (and paying taxes on!) any equipment that is not actually on site. It ensures ease of recording equipment that is moved or retired.
Industrial Asset Management Hardware and Software Services
CCG's industrial asset management software ensures peak performance. The software helps prevent costly repairs of manufacturing equipment by streamlining the fixed asset management process required to monitor and maintain the location, status, and usage of physical assets across any manufacturing facility. The cloud-based platform seamlessly connects the entire asset management lifecycle, including barcode and RFID management, smart data import functionality, automated audit tracking, roles-based access, customizable data security practices, and robust
reporting capability.
With this increased transparency and oversight of industrial asset management, CCG's software automatically tracks the location and status of all raw materials, tools, and equipment inside manufacturing facilities. This centralized visibility of assets provides transparency across operations, simplifies the management of material flows, and reduces the propensity for human errors in production.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the most commonly asked questions. Please contact us if you cannot find the answer your looking for – we're delighted to help.
Virtually none. Aside from a brief conversation with you (or one of your associates) and a quick plant tour with a member of your maintenance staff, your CCG consultant will not interrupt you or your operations.
Our state-trained consultants review the full Open Statute period of your AP Invoices (typically 3 - 4 years in most States).
Working with CCG is RISK-FREE because we work on a performance basis: If we find nothing, you pay nothing – it's that simple.
We understand that your company does not collect sales tax from customers and then remit it to the State. What we examine are all your vendor purchases, some of which were taxable and others that, while not taxable, included sales tax in error. The number and amounts of these erroneous taxations accumulate dramatically over a 3 - 4 year period – which is why refunds recovered by CCG can be quite substantial.
There are no hidden fees, future commitments or ongoing compensatory obligations required when working with CCG. Our Service Agreement is closed-ended and the total fee payable is solely based on the benefits we secure for your company. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses are paid by CCG.
CCG is a full-service company – virtually no work is required from you or your staff. Our team will do what is required to identify, file for and recover your company’s refund.
