About Us
We submit your claims and you get the credit!
Have you received your invoice credit from the Almond Board?
If the answer is no, you’re not alone. Many handlers leave these funds unclaimed each year.
The Facts: Almond handlers may request credit off their assessment invoices for their branded promotional activities, including paid advertising. (Refer to Title 7: Department of Agriculture, Part 981– Almonds Grown in California—Section 981.441.) Surprisingly, a large number of almond handlers do not submit reimbursement claims, leaving funds unclaimed that could potentially fund additional promotional activities or offset other expenses.
What clients can expect:
- A mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement.
- A 15-minute conversation to determine if your marketing activities may qualify for expense reimbursement through the credit back program or not.
- Clients identify a designated contact person to work with our team.
- Our team will develop your activity timeline and periodically request backup throughout the fiscal year.
- Our team will monitor Almond Board deadlines, so you won’t have to.
- Results: Within the first 30 days or by the next assessment period.
Why AlmondCreditBack was created:
- It is a fact that handler's branded promotional activities benefit the entire almond industry while playing a vital role in growing the demand for almonds around the world.
- For ten years I observed intelligent branded promotional activities occurring by almond handlers, many of which were not submitting claims to the Credit Back Program. I began to wonder why more handlers were not participating in the reimbursement program. To me, it seemed like an easy decision.
- I found there were three primary reasons: 1) some handlers do not have the personnel resources available to be able to add another responsibility, 2) some handlers did not realize the reimbursement program existed, 3) others simply did not know where to start or how to plan and execute effectively. We are your solution.
Bio: Cheryl Finn
Before launching Cheryl Finn Consulting, LLC I was employed by the Almond Board of California and enjoyed working with fellow staff members, almond industry members in our community, and committee members over the course of ten years. It is possible that we may have met if you have attended meetings or contributed your time to the Global Market Development Committees or Subcommittees.
During my time at the Almond Board, one of my responsibilities became the almond handler liaison and reviewer of submitted claims for the Credit-Back Program, the reimbursement program offered by the Almond Board of California. In this capacity, I gained valuable experience in what is required to meet the guidelines for reimbursement. Who could be better suited to help you submit reimbursement claims for your branded promotional expenses than someone who spent years reviewing submitted claims on behalf of the Almond Board of California?
