Cost segmentation is a service which analyzes real property in order to find specific tax savings for the property owner. The main thing that you would expect from this type of a service would be to get a numbers-specific breakdown of the information that has been analyzed by the service provider so that you could see how much money you save from implementing the tax and accounting changes recommended by the cost seg company. However, you will also find that you get some hands-on interaction with the people who provide this service to you - or at least, you should, if the company is a good one.

It’s true that cost segmentation is mostly a numbers game. However, a good company will not neglect the on-site and human elements of a business. A great cost seg service provider is going to come to the site, look around, take pictures and meet with the people who work at the place of business. Key leaders in the business will be interviewed so that the cost seg provider can glean more information about the way that the property is used. This information can lead to key savings that a mediocre, hands-off cost seg service provider may miss.
