Episode notes

"I've done my best. to educate the masses about this, but it's my theory is that it has something to do with taxes," he says. "The vast majority of accountants either don't know about this or don't know enough about it to recommend it to their clients." The IRS guidelines say cost creation audit techniques must be done by someone who has experience in construction and engineering. But 99% of accounting firms cannot do this in house because it does require an engineering component to it.

Yonah Weiss does a deep dive on cost segregation. As business director at Madison SPECS, a national cost segregation leader, he’s assisted clients in saving hundreds of millions of dollars on taxes through cost segregation.
