Son of immigrant parents, I learned early to save and invest in things that went up in value over time.

I grew up in Boston as the son of Italian immigrants.

My dad owned a pizza shop, invested carefully in small multifamily properties, and taught me the value of saving and building for the long term.

That foundation eventually led me from Purdue engineering to Arthur Andersen, where I began working on cost segregation studies for major properties and manufacturing facilities.

More than 25 years later, I'm still helping real estate owners, businesses, and CPAs uncover tax savings that can be reinvested into growth.

Thanks to Michael Morawski for having me on the Multifamily Unplugged podcast.

Many business leaders leave significant tax savings on the table because they’re concerned about the possibility of an IRS audit.

The reality is that every tax return carries some level of audit risk. Yet businesses routinely claim deductions and credits they’re entitled to because they understand the value outweighs the uncertainty.

The R&D Tax Credit should be viewed the same way.

The key is preparation. Organizations that maintain thorough documentation, accurately track qualifying expenses, and consistently support their claims are well-positioned to withstand IRS scrutiny.

Cost segregation isn't just for large commercial properties.

Traditional cost segregation studies can cost several thousand dollars because they often require an engineer to visit the property, take measurements, document assets, and prepare a detailed report.

For smaller residential properties, that cost is hard to justify.

That is why we created a software-based option for smaller properties.

• Complete the process yourself online
> Finish it in about 15 minutes
> Pay $500 instead of thousands
> Identify potential accelerated depreciation deductions

Great teams celebrate wins!

Our KBKG Pasadena office recently held a summer team event with food, bowling and darts. I ended up bowling a 144 which I think is the best I’ve ever done!

Building a strong company is about creating an environment where people enjoy working together, support one another and build real relationships.

Thank you to everyone who helped organize the event and to the Pasadena team for making it such a fun day

About a year and a half ago, we rolled out ChatGPT Enterprise across KBKG so our team could use AI securely. It was a big investment, and at the time, it felt like the right bet.

But the AI landscape keeps changing fast.

We’ve questioned tools, tested vendors, and made some expensive mistakes along the way.

The biggest lesson:
AI is about having the right leadership, security, culture, and team adoption.
Bringing AI leadership in-house has made all the difference.

The tax industry is ripe for disruption.

AI is already changing the CPA world. Big companies like CCH, Thomson Reuters, and Bloomberg are investing heavily in new technology for tax and accounting.

But in specialty tax services like cost segregation, R&D credits, and energy incentives, there are not many large companies driving that same modernization.

That creates both a challenge and an opportunity. For us, the priority is clear:
➢ Invest in technology
➢ Make the process easier for CPAs and clients
➢ Stay ahead of where the industry is going

This and other interesting topics are part of my conversation with David Toth from Winding River Consulting.

A lot of architecture, engineering, and design firms assume 179D is only for large national firms working on massive projects.

If your firm worked on an energy-efficient building owned by a government or nonprofit client, the opportunity may be there regardless of your firm’s size. KBKG has helped firms with as few as three people secure meaningful deductions.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆:
➢ Eligibility is based on building ownership and your design role
➢ Modest renovations may still qualify
➢ Smaller firms often lead local energy-efficient upgrades
➢ Projects over 40,000 SF are worth exploring

If you’ve worked on schools, city buildings, libraries, universities, nonprofits, or other qualifying properties, it may be worth taking a closer look.
