Choosing a Specialty Tax Provider

DUE DILIGENCE IN SELECTING A SPECIALTY TAX PROVIDER IS CRITICAL

The selection of a specialty tax provider for Cost Segregation, Energy Certifications, Research & Development and other tax incentives is critical to the process, the resulting benefit, and to ensure results that stand-up upon IRS examination. Performing the proper due diligence steps is vital to ensuring your tax filing position and to ensure that you gain every benefit that you deserve with the assurance of IRS compliance. Consider the items below when looking for a company with a long history of IRS compliance, experience in your area both geographically and professionally, and a strong reputation of customer satisfaction. Request proof of licenses and insurance for the firm you are considering, as well as the individual team members who will be working on your project. Also request references from previous clients and take the time to contact them regarding their experience with the firm and any problems that may have arisen through the process. This will offer significant insight into the integrity of the firm that you choose.

THINGS TO CONSIDER…
  • Professional licenses.
  • Circular 230 compliance.
  • Evaluate the engagement team.
  • Evaluate the firms credentials.
  • What is the firms track record?
  • Ensure compliant fee structure.
  • Are you confident in the team?
