How They Can Help

Our property tax services blend traditional CPA skills with specialized assessment expertise. We conduct thorough financial analyses of income-producing properties, examining cash flows, operating expenses, and market conditions that affect value. For homeowners, we research comparable sales and identify assessment errors or inequities. We prepare detailed appeals that include financial projections, market analysis, and supporting documentation. Our services extend beyond basic appeals to include tax planning strategies that consider the long-term implications of assessment changes. We also provide ongoing monitoring services to identify future appeal opportunities as market conditions change. For real estate investors, we integrate property tax planning into overall investment strategies to maximize after-tax returns.

What to Expect

We begin with a comprehensive financial review of your property and current assessment. This includes analyzing your property's income and expenses, reviewing comparable properties, and identifying potential assessment errors. We'll provide a written analysis explaining whether an appeal makes financial sense and what level of reduction might be achievable. If we proceed with an appeal, we prepare detailed documentation supporting our valuation conclusions. This includes financial statements, market analysis, and expert opinions as needed. We file all required paperwork and represent you throughout the process. After resolution, we help you understand the financial impact and plan for future assessment cycles.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area. Our Manhattan office allows us to efficiently serve clients in all five boroughs. We also work with clients in Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties, particularly for commercial properties and multi-property portfolios. Our CPA practice naturally extends beyond city limits, allowing us to serve a broader geographic area than many specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPA analysis different from other property tax consultants?
Our CPA background means we analyze properties from a financial perspective, examining income, expenses, and cash flows in detail. This analytical approach often identifies value reduction opportunities that others miss.
Do you work on contingency like some attorneys?
We primarily work on fixed-fee arrangements that provide cost certainty upfront. This allows us to do thorough analysis without concerns about fee structures affecting our recommendations.
Can you help with properties outside New York City?
Yes, our CPA practice extends throughout the metro area including Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties. We're particularly experienced with commercial properties in these areas.
How do you determine if an appeal is worth pursuing?
We conduct detailed financial analysis comparing potential tax savings to appeal costs and likelihood of success. We only recommend appeals when the numbers support a reasonable return on investment.
What records should I keep for potential future appeals?
Maintain detailed income and expense records, keep documentation of any property improvements or problems, and save records of comparable sales in your area. Good record-keeping is crucial for successful appeals.
Do you provide ongoing monitoring services?
Yes, we offer annual assessment review services to identify new appeal opportunities as market conditions and assessments change. This is particularly valuable for commercial property owners.
How do property tax reductions affect my overall tax situation?
As CPAs, we help you understand the broader implications including effects on depreciation deductions and potential tax planning opportunities. Property tax planning should be integrated with your overall tax strategy.
Can you help with properties that have unique circumstances?
Our analytical approach is well-suited for properties with special situations like environmental issues, rent stabilization, or unusual physical characteristics that affect value. We excel at quantifying these impacts.
