Our approach

Deep Expertise. Minimal Disruption.

A highly experienced partner works your engagement personally, from feasibility through filing and examination, using a proven process designed around your team’s schedule, not ours.

01

Preliminary Feasibility & Scoping

A 30-minute consultation directly with a partner to evaluate your operations, technical initiatives, or real estate assets. We provide a candid assessment of eligibility, an estimated benefit range, and a clear go/no-go recommendation—with zero obligation.

Deliverable: Transparent feasibility assessment and preliminary benefit estimate.

02

Data Gathering & Technical Discovery

Focused, low-impact technical discussions with your engineering or project leads, paired with a customized, lightweight data request. We leverage your existing project detail and financial records rather than burdening your team with unnecessary administrative overhead.

Commitment: Typically under four hours of your team’s time, paced over two to three weeks.

03

Calculations & Technical Substantiation

Our team quantifies your tax benefits and drafts the comprehensive documentation required to withstand examination: technical project narratives, expense categorizations, engineering allocations, and statutory nexus models.

Deliverable: An audit-ready final report alongside turnkey tax schedules prepared for your internal team or external return preparer.

04

Filing Support & Audit Defense

We coordinate directly with your CPA or internal tax team to deliver turnkey forms and workpapers for seamless return integration. If a claim is selected for examination by the IRS or state taxing authorities, the partner who structured your study leads the defense.

Commitment: Seamless continuity from initial scope through exam resolution.
