Guest Host: Stacy Deru – Engineered Tax Services

A cost segregation study is a federal income tax tool that increases your near-term cash flow by deferring taxes. With a cost segregation analysis, you could be able to write off up to 30-35% of your building’s original purchase price in the first year!

Because depreciation occurs when a purchased building ages, it loses value over time. Actually, your building is not only one piece of property, but comprised of subcomponents (such as lighting fixtures, heating and air conditioning systems, and other components that deteriorate over time).

Stacy Deru is a business consultant with Engineered Advisory, the parent company of Engineered Tax Services. She has over 20 years of experience working with businesses in operations, risk management and development.

Her current areas of focus with ETS are Tax Mitigation, Estate Planning and consulting with CPA firms to grow their practice.
