Our process
How cost segregation works.
A straightforward four-step approach designed to be efficient while delivering reliable, IRS-defensible results. Audit support is included at no extra cost.
Step 1
Provide basic property information
Tell us about the property — type, purchase price and date, square footage, and estimated land value. This is enough to generate an instant estimate of your potential tax savings.
- Property type — commercial, residential, mixed-use, etc.
- Purchase price and date — essential for baseline calculations
- Square footage — total property dimensions
- Estimated land value — helps us identify depreciable assets
Step 2
Sign our engagement letter
Once you've reviewed the estimate and want to move forward, we formalize the engagement with a clear, transparent letter that spells out everything before any work begins.
- Scope of work
- Costs and timeline
- Deliverables
- Your obligations and our commitments
Step 3
Our expert team analyzes your property
This is where the engineering happens. Our CPAs and contractors work in tandem to break down every depreciable component with precision — and IRS-defensibility — built in.
- Property information verification
- Detailed component analysis
- Asset classification for depreciation
- Accelerated depreciation calculations
Step 4
Implement your cost segregation study
You receive a comprehensive study report along with everything your CPA needs to file. Then we stick around — audit support is included, not extra.
- Complete documentation of our analysis
- IRS Form 3115 (Application for Change in Accounting Method)
- Detailed breakdown of assets and depreciation schedules
- Summary of your tax benefits
- Ongoing audit support at no additional cost
