    Audit Defense

    An audit doesn’t have to be scary. We help our clients manage state sales and use tax audits so that they get the best possible result.

    In fact, very often our clients take advantage of the audit window to claim refunds of overpayments, resulting in a faster resolution than they would have without the audit.

    “FM Cost containment is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with; we have worked with their staff for a state audit defense and sales tax refund reviews for several of our Manufacturing facilities and they continue to effectively find refunds for us without occupying the time of our finance department. We plan to continue to use FM Cost Containment for future audits and sales tax recovery services for our 5 plants.”
