ON THE HORIZON
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many facets of the economy, and with the changing Real Estate industry comes opportunities including an increase in the need for advisory services. While tax and financial reporting are the core services we offer, our advisory services are among the fastest-growing segments. Since the onset of the pandemic, our team has supported a wide range of clients in navigating through the complex issues brought on by COVID-19. This has included providing guidance on lease renewals and lender requirements and covenants. Additionally, the pandemic has sparked an increased interest in asset repositioning, as many clients are inquiring about the financial and tax implications of re-strategizing their business in response to the evolving market conditions. We are confident that the post-pandemic environment will provide exciting new opportunities for our clients and our team in both traditional and advisory services.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
A client recently sold a prominent hotel that was owned through various entities and trusts. We were engaged to determine if the inside and outside basis in the partnership that held the property was properly calculated. We reviewed and analyzed over 20 years of intercompany transactions, mortgages, loan guarantees, internal accounting procedures, historical tax filings and allocations across the various entities and trusts. As a result of our tailored approach, we were able to identify over $70 million of previously unidentified tax basis. Our client was able to capture significant tax savings that otherwise would have been missed.
