In 1986, I was fortunate to be able to stumble across an opportunity to learn about property taxation and how to value machinery, equipment and commercial/industrial real property. Since that time, I have learned many things in many capacities. From a national property tax firm to a start-up; from a publicly held accounting and tax advisory service company to my newest endeavor – it has been a great ride and I can’t wait to see where this next step takes my company.I have been involved in the review and analysis of commercial/industrial real estate, machinery, equipment and data processing equipment and have directed the filing of thousands of personal property renditions and real property appeals concerning market value disputes. My experience includes reviews in most States across the Country.During this time, I have managed and reviewed business property statements and filed appeals on personal property valuations as well as review responsibilities for the appeals of commercial and industrial real values. Our property tax group generated over ten million dollars in tax savings for clients during my tenure at CBIZ.Today, Swartz + Associates combines the experience of talented analysts you would anticipate with large property tax firms but has the flexibility to work as a fluid group; quick in our abilities to make decisions and easy to get answers to questions you may have.I am excited to be running a company with my name and my goal is to make sure my employees feel the same way when working for our customers.Additionally, in 2018, I purchased Indurante & Associates, Inc.
