Most cost segregation firms focus on maximizing deductions.
We focus on making those deductions defensible.
Every report includes a complete audit defense package — not as an upsell, but as a core part of the product. Structured to align with the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Technique Guide (Publication 5653) and supported by U.S. Tax Court precedent (Hospital Corporation of America v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo 1997-482).
Components are classified as accelerated property only where supported by established case law and IRS guidance. Where classification is uncertain, the component is retained as real property.
If a cost segregation study can't be defended, it's not worth doing. Audit defense is included in every report. No upsells.
