On this episode of the Iowa Manufacturing Podcast, Leisa Fox welcomes Eide Bailly's Emma Brock and Jim Donovan to break down the One Big Beautiful Bill (OB3) and what it really means for manufacturers. Together, they tackle the myths and misconceptions surrounding tax changes, uncover opportunities hidden in plain sight, and highlight the critical importance of thoughtful planning.

A major focus of the conversation is on R&D tax credits and how they apply far more broadly than many business leaders realize. From documenting time studies to capturing data on process improvements, the right strategy can unlock significant value—but only if it's pursued with clarity and efficiency. Emma and Jim stress that with a trusted tax partner, businesses can determine if "the juice is worth the squeeze" and ensure their innovation efforts are both compliant and profitable.
