Wealth & Finance International - January 2017

21 January 2017 Feedback from customer “Our Energy Tax Certification resulted in a $74,000 tax deduction, which meant about $20.000 actual cash back to us!” “I wanted to thank you for the cost segregation and energy tax work you have done for several of the firm’s clients. The results have been very favourable and have resulted in significant tax benefits. You have a very talented team, and I look forward to working with you more in the future.” “We have utilised ETS for cost segregation studies and certain energy and R&D tax credit engagements for our firm’s real estate holdings as well as for our clients’ real estate and business interests. The way ETS incorporates energy credits and insurance into other engagements for maximum benefit is unique – no one else does this. The fact that ETS insures their reports through Lloyds of London instils confidence and security. I have personally referred over 60 contacts to ETS for cost segregation studies and will continue to send referrals. The ETS profes- sionals are competent, service-oriented and, most of all, providing cost savings to our clients. By having a reliable source to handle these kinds of engagements, we have essentially increased our firm’s value-added service offerings. That is the truest definition of a strategic partnership.” “We worked with ETS for the first time in 2009. They performed an Energy Tax Certification for our firm that resulted in a $74,000 tax de- duction, which meant about $20,000 actual cash back to us. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to explain and guide us through the process. While inevitable bumps delayed the report by about a week, we anticipate working with ETS on more projects in the future. We highly recommend ETS and look forward to our enhanced profitability as a result.” “Bonavista Holdings, Inc. is a real estate holding company with approx- imately 1,000,000 square feet of commercial space located primarily in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Our firm engaged Engineered Tax Services to perform a cost segregation study on our behalf. I received a favourable result that exceeded all of my expectations. I found Mr. Gonzalez to be extremely competent, thorough, and knowledgeable of the subject matter. I had used other firms to do similar work previously, and none compared to the expertise and professionalism exhibited by Mr. Gonzalez’s firm. Needless to say, I would highly recommend his firm, and I would not hesitate to use his services in the future.”
