Business owners are a simple bunch. They want to know how to make more money, cut costs of doing business, avoid taxes, avoid expensive lawsuits, find new opportunities to do business and find inexpensive ways to fund business growth. They want the details and solutions to their unique problems.
Cost remediation is the process by which we seek to reduce, refine or recapture operational costs and/or engage in tax mitigation on behalf of a business owner. Our services are initiated on a no cost, no obligation basis wherein we review key aspects of the businesses line item expenses and determine what opportunities exist to refine said expenses as well as to determine what tax mitigation or benefits they may qualify for. Through this process we are able to forecast what the benefits will be should the business decide to engage us for our services.
Should they choose not to, there was no cost nor is there any obligation to them of any type.
Additionally, it must be understood that under no circumstances do we serve as a vendor or change their current vendors, we simply audit those relationships and or general operating costs and identify avenues (and facilitate same) through which monies may be recaptured and/or refined on a go forward basis. As such, over the past 18 years we have never experienced a client complaint as there exists no opportunity for them to have a negative experience in that we are not paid unless and or until we are successful in realizing the benefit to the client.
Our clients range from small privately held businesses to many Fortune 500 entities, as well as various unions, municipalities and even entire states that use certain of our platforms.

It is impossible for me to calculate the number of calls I’ve had with building owners and CPAs on the subject of Cost Segregation. Working some numbers in my head (ok, on my calculator), the number is likely well over 10,000. Out of all those calls there is one particular item that continues to rear its ugly, uninformed head and I can no longer stay silent. I must respond… with vigor!
The “item” in question comes in the form of the following quote, which I’ve heard too often to count:
“You can only do Cost Segregation on a new building or new renovation.”
I have no idea where this rumor started. I hear it weekly and now I am blogging in rebuttal.
First, I will say an unequivocal “Yes”, it is beneficial to have a Cost Segregation study done when you purchase/construct/renovate a new building. In fact, anyone constructing or renovating a commercial property should have a study completed. However, the true power of Cost Segregation is displayed on buildings that are not new!
“But, you can only do Cost Segregation on a new building or new renovation”.
To officially rebut this statement, I will go straight to the source. The first sentence in the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide – Chapter 6.2 reads:
“A taxpayer may conduct a cost segregation study on used property and then re-compute its depreciation deductions for prior years”.
Not only “may” a taxpayer do this but over 75% of our projects are older properties. In the industry we call this the “Catch Up” method, and it can produce powerful results.
Here is an example:
Mr. Client acquired a commercial property for $3,500,000 five years ago and never completed a Cost Segregation Study.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Mr. Client recognizes he may now have an opportunity to benefit from a study (maybe he read this blog post).
Mr. Client hires an expert (GMG for example), who identifies 20% ($700,000) of components that should have been allocated to 5-year life instead of 39 years. Mr. Client jumps for joy when he realizes the IRS will allow him to “catch up” $700,000 of missed accelerated depreciation on his next tax return!
Why doesn’t every building owner and CPA know this?
The answer is simple; it is not their area of expertise. Although some building owners and CPAs have substantial experience with Cost Segregation, most do not. There is a dearth of true educators in this field, which unfortunately leads to much misinformation. These factors have caused countless thousands of building owners to miss out on this powerful tax savings strategy.
All is not lost!
If you own a building and have not had a Cost Segregation study performed, you have not missed the boat. Hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars in tax savings may be available to you. Now that you are aware, let’s see how much you qualify for! Visit us today to see your benefits in seconds via PropertyTaxBenefits.com
