Episode 130 – Bryan Powrozek, Partner at Wipfli
About this episode
“When it comes to the monumental new tax law changes, every company should understand what this means for them. Are there provisions like the R&D tax credit, depreciation for qualified production property or the opportunity zones that your company could take advantage of? If you haven’t heard from your adviser, reach out and ask.”
In this episode of the Manufacturing Matters podcast, TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll is joined by Bryan Powrozek, partner at Wipfli, to discuss the major tax changes in Public Law 119-21, formally known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, and how they impact automation companies and manufacturers. Powrozek breaks down key provisions, including restored immediate R&D expensing, 100% bonus depreciation, and incentives for new production facilities — and what they mean for cash flow, capital investment, and reshoring efforts.
In addition, Powrozek shares practical guidance on how companies should respond, from working with advisers to aligning tax strategy with operational goals. For manufacturers evaluating growth plans, understanding these changes could unlock new opportunities to invest, expand, and stay competitive.
