Preparers and their clients often cannot recognize quality differences among service providers, leading to buying decisions based on who proposes the lowest fee or promises the highest tax benefit.

With less than a year before the rev rec changes become permanent, businesses should take immediate action, if they haven’t done so by now.

I hear the comment all the time, “If I do cost segregation, I’ll just give it all back in recapture when I sell.” Allow me to debunk that myth and more.
