G.R. Reid Associates, LLP

G. R. Reid Associates, LLP is now in aligned with LEED Accredited Professionals, the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Executive Leadership, the United States Green Building Council Executive Leadership, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to give clarity and awareness to the engineering processes involved in certification of public and private buildings.  The science of engineering and the principles of tax and accounting will allow us to arrive at financial solutions that result in increased cash flow, minimized tax payments and maximum return on investment and energy for our commercial clients. These IRS-sanctioned services include Energy Tax Credits, Energy Policy Act Certifications (179D Studies), Cost Segregation Studies, Research and Development Studies, Repair and Maintenance Studies,  Historic Tax Credits Studies, Engineering Insurance Appraisals, Energy and Carbon Audits. Without an engineering-based cost segregation study, taxpayers are unable to take full advantage of the tax law; therefore, they surrender significant cash flow to the IRS. Our alliances with a unique combination of experience and professional talent has enabled G.R. Reid to develop unique ways to identify and qualify commercial properties for energy accreditation and related tax benefits. Form more information, contact us.
