Partnering with Bottom Line Maximizers and our lease audit experts will
allow your company to control and reduce costs associated with leased real estate. Lease audits help you gain control over one of your largest and most critical expenses: occupancy costs.

Leases and ongoing occupancy costs can be complex. It is common for these expenses to be overlooked and incorrect. Most leases place the burden on the tenant to identify errors and bring them to the landlord’s attention. Rent and associated costs are typically paid without scrutiny resulting in over payments and loss of revenue. CFO magazine recently reported that square footage of office space has increased in certain regions but no new space has been added. Landlords and management companies changed the methods used to measure space and passed the erroneous cost onto tenants. We represent you and make sure your company is not over paying.

Cost Segregation

Cost segregation is the practice of conducting a strategic analysis allowing companies
that have constructed, bought, expanded or remodeled real estate valued above to increase their cash flows by accelerating depreciation related tax deductions. Cost segregation is an acceptable form of depreciation by the Internal Revenue Service. This program requires the combined expertise of Engineers and Accountants (most CPA firms do not offer this service) who review and determine your ability to modify depreciation schedules from the old 29 or 39 year programs to as little as 5 years.

Bottom Line Maximizers experts will segregate and reclassify property costs todepreciate over shorter periods. The periods are typically five, ten, seven or fifteen years depending on classification.

Most tax paying companies who owns, constructs, renovates, or acquires a commercial real estate structure with stands to benefit from a cost segregation study. We can help you determine if you can accelerate depreciation on property valued over $750,000.

The benefits of a cost segregation study include:

• An immediate increase in cash flow
• A reduction in current tax liability
• The deferral of taxes
• The ability to reclaim missed depreciation deductions from prior years without having to amend tax returns.

The new depreciation schedule will allow your company to benefit from tax deductions now instead of waiting years. The savings would have a significant positive impact on bottomline results. A straight fee is charged based upon property type and value conforming to IRS guidelines.
