Service overview

Specialty depth that works behind your firm—not around it.

CPA firms are expected to identify sophisticated opportunities while managing tax deadlines, assurance work, accounting, advisory, and client communication. Building every specialty discipline internally is not always practical.

We provide collaborative support across cost segregation, R&D credits, energy incentives, grants, SALT, tariff refunds, and related technical work. Engagements can be co-branded, behind-the-scenes, or direct with clear role boundaries. Your firm remains central to the relationship and final tax decisions.

Our approach

Protect the relationship. Strengthen the solution.

We design the workflow around the CPA firm’s preferred level of visibility and control. Communication stays organized, technical limitations are clear, and the client understands who is responsible for each decision.

The objective is long-term collaboration—not a one-time handoff.

Tax, customs, grant, and financial outcomes depend on current law, program rules, documentation, and each client’s facts. Final filing and legal decisions should be made with the appropriate licensed professionals.
