About the Role

This opportunity is with a growing firm focused on modernizing cost segregation and real estate tax analysis. The team is rethinking traditional, spreadsheet-heavy workflows and applying more structured, technology-enabled approaches to improve accuracy, consistency, and defensibility.

You’ll work alongside experienced professionals with deep backgrounds in cost segregation, tax, construction, and technical analysis, contributing to high-quality studies while helping evolve internal tools and processes.

What You’ll Do

Cost Segregation Analysis

• Perform cost segregation studies for residential, multifamily, and commercial properties

• Identify and classify building components into appropriate MACRS recovery lives (5-, 7-, 15-, and 27.5/39-year)

• Apply IRS guidance, audit techniques, and engineering-based cost segregation methodologies

• Analyze construction documents, invoices, appraisals, surveys, floor plans, and closing statements

Technical & Tax Rigor

• Ensure studies are accurate, well-documented, and defensible under IRS scrutiny

• Collaborate internally to collect, validate, and review supporting documentation

• Contribute to internal standards and best practices for cost segregation methodology

Process & Technology Enablement

• Use internal tools and software-enabled workflows to perform and review studies

• Provide feedback on workflows, edge cases, and accuracy improvements

• Help transition cost segregation from static reports to more structured, data-driven outputs

• Apply judgment to determine where automation adds value versus where expert analysis is required

Ideal Background

• 1–3 years of experience performing or supporting cost segregation studies

• Strong understanding of MACRS classifications and IRS cost segregation guidance

• Detail-oriented with a focus on accuracy and defensibility

• Comfortable in fast-moving environments with evolving processes

• Curious about improving traditional workflows through technology and automation
