Cost Segregation Studies

The fast track to larger tax deductions.

One of the best kept secrets in slashing taxes is a Cost Segregation Study (CSS). In the simplest terms, to gain larger tax deductions in a shorter span of time, the study accelerates depreciation. Larger tax deductions may lead to increased cash flow and lower cost of capital within the first few years of the purchase of a building, new construction or property renovation. The Innovative CPA Group uses CSS as a tax planning tool – a smart investment for most companies who meet the criteria.
