Minor League Baseball
More Than a Hobby – It’s Business
Team owners depend on more than just good weather and a packed house for a successful franchise – they need strong community relationships, advertising partnerships, attractive promotions and thriving merchandise sales. They need to navigate a seasonal industry, volatile cash flow and varying revenue streams.
We help owners improve profitability and enhance the value of their franchise. We provide tax, audit, accounting and business guidance across various states to help you meet your financial reporting requirements while planning for healthy cash flow and profitability. From traditional taxes, financial statements, royalties and business management services, to the not-so-common contract analysis and endorsement negotiations, we understand the unique challenges that minor league organizations face to keep them on track to fulfill their short and long-term financial goals.
