TAX SERVICES, DIVISION LEAD

Business Overview

The Tax Services Division is one of BCP’s, strategic business units (SBUs) originally formed in 2003. It is a niche’ consulting practice that provides tax and engineering/technical consulting in areas of federal and state tax codes to provide substantiation and documentation to support client positions. The Tax Services Division primarily performs Research and Development (R&D) tax studies for clients for both Section 41 credits and Section 174 deductions. In addition to R&D studies, the Tax Services Division historically has provided solutions work in the following areas:

• Tax Modeling
• Cost Segregation Studies
• Pollution Control Equipment Studies
• Industry Specific Studies (e.g., Solar Tax Credits, Unit of Property Studies)

The Tax Service Division has leveraged our vast access to engineering and information technology professionals to provide these services to a mix of large business clients and small business clients, servicing industries that include:

• Electric and Gas Utilities
• Compounding Pharmacies
• Landfills
• Engineering and Engineering Contractors
• Manufacturers

The Tax Services Division is a tax consulting service; we are not a tax preparer. We work with tax preparers – either internally with a client or with external tax preparers to provide our expertise. The Tax Services Division has been a reliable and productive business-line for BCP but has underperformed as compared to its potential and capability. BCP is looking for the right leader to expand and grow the Tax Services Division to reach its full potential.
