I have a passion for helping business owners. That passion has propelled me to many successful achievements, like the first to use an alternative allocation for the transportation industry or the first to use regression analysis to win a strategic advantage. That passion is the main driving force behind my success.By reducing the tax burden, through tax incentives, abatements, pollution control and market appraisals, businesses have a competitive advantage for continued growth.As a property tax consultant, I have always questioned the validity of assessed valuations on business equipment. For me it was more about understanding the market transaction, instead of looking merely at depreciation based on mass appraisal concepts. Testing and comparing depreciation to market sales has been the most convincing and effective analysis tool in reducing property tax expense.
