Company History and Expertise

Why Small- and Mid-Sized Businesses Deserve the Same Tax Benefits

The dream of providing small- and mid-sized businesses with the same tax breaks as large corporations fueled our founder, Julio Gonzalez, when he established Engineered Tax Services (ETS) in 2001. He aimed to offer specialized engineering tax studies that were previously only available to Fortune 500 and public companies through the then-Big 8 national accounting firms.

Growth and Expansion

Over 20 years later, ETS has become the leading specialty tax practice in the United States, successfully delivering tax solutions to the American middle class. In 2020, ETS expanded its offerings by acquiring The Growth Partnership, a leading advisory group to the CPA community, and ABLE CRM, a company that customizes Customer Relationship Management systems for CPA firms. In 2021, ETS acquired Inside Public Accounting, a respected research organization devoted to the CPA community, and in 2022, launched HABU (Highest and Best Use), a national accounting alliance program for CPAs.

Our Unmatched Experience

ETS is one of the country's only professionally licensed engineering firms that provide best-in-class specialty tax services to CPAs and their clients nationally. With over 20 years in business, our team of CPAs, tax attorneys, and engineers offers the highest level of service and professionalism coupled with the highest possible tax savings in our industry.

Commitment to Compliance and Quality

As a licensed engineering firm, we must meet and exceed the professional standards set by our National Board. We have dedicated our practice to designing and implementing sustainable methodologies that are in full compliance with all applicable statutory, administrative, and judicial interpretations.

Our Unique Team and Approach

Our unique business model is comprised of engineers, accountants, tax attorneys, and construction and design professionals, impeccably aligning true subject matter expertise with proven methodologies. Our process maximizes clients' reclassification of real property to personal property while minimizing the risk of an IRS audit. In the event of an audit, ETS provides audit support and assistance to clients.

Going Above and Beyond

The team at ETS prepares reports based on rigorous standards upheld by the company, encompassing various elements such as floor plans, meticulous space evaluations, thorough electrical panel assessments, and comprehensive mechanical reviews. Project managers oversee the entire process from initiation to completion, ensuring efficient and effective execution. ETS exceeds the standards set forth by the IRS, investing in our process to maximize tax benefits while minimizing potential disallowances associated with an IRS audit.

With 26 offices nationally, ETS is headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Our Founder

As experts in our field, we keep up with the latest regulatory changes to ensure your tax claim has the maximum chance of acceptance by the IRS and other tax bodies.

Our Charitable Contributions

Since its creation in 2001, ETS has been a firm believer in giving back to the communities we live in and serve. We contribute to a multitude of worthy causes across a spectrum of charities and encourage our employees to do the same. We believe in being a vibrant part of the health and well-being of our communities.

We recently inaugurated a program where we ask employees to suggest deserving causes, and we consider their recommendations seriously and often act on them. In addition, we encourage our employees to volunteer in their communities, and on a regular basis, we publicize a particular philanthropic enterprise we champion and sometimes ask employees to add their support if they are so inclined.
