Unlike most other firms, we completely specialize in performing purchase price allocation studies for real estate acquisitions. Our clients include public and private REITS, real estate investment partnerships, trusts, and anyone else requiring GAAP financials for one or more of their real estate acquisitions.
COST SEGREGATION SERVICES
We offer cost segregation services for tax purposes through a partner firm.

Business Combinations (ASC 805)

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820)
According to ASC 820, fair value is defined as "the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date."
