What is a Cost Segregation Study?
You may be asking the obvious questions right now. What is a Cost Segregation Study? And how can it benefit my business? The short answer? It can accelerate depreciation. And the reason we accelerate depreciation is simple: to increase your cash flow and reduce your taxes.
Our Cost Segregation Studies are based on a sound cost engineering analysis of your property combined with a focused tax analysis that will allow you to accelerate depreciation from the normal 39-year schedule. With this tool, you can virtually write off all the property that the study identifies to be a 5-, 7- and 15-year property.
To accomplish this, you need a thorough engineering analysis that meets all IRS standards based on real cost estimating knowledge and skills. Using our experienced team who has a thorough understanding of construction methods, materials, and costs can mean the difference between getting some of the benefits versus all of the benefits. This added benefit will more than off-set the fees for the project.
