“Great Service, Great Savings,
Great Price. A professionally researched
approach to ensure unquestioned
depreciation rates.” -Dennis
KFC Franchisee
“A cost segregation project has
paid huge dividends to my company. With
truly minimal effort on our part (with
assistance from your engineers), we were
able to provide the information
necessary for you to help us accelerate
hundreds of thousands of dollars of
depreciation on our seven properties,
which has significantly increased my
cash flow. The close contact you had
with our CPA along with the detailed
reports documenting past court decisions
as well as breakdowns of the individual
properties quickly converted him into
your camp. Your documentation has been
very easy to incorporate into our
financial records and tax returns. As we
grow in the future, I will continue to
include Cost Segregation Study, LLC in the
planning stages to continue taking
advantage of their services.” -Tom KFC Franchisee

study analysis prepared for us by Cost
Segregation Study, LLC, we were able to
reduce our total income tax liability
significantly. Their prompt and
courteous service was greatly
appreciated. I highly recommend this
firm to do an analysis for any fast-food
franchisee.” -Kirk KFC

“Cost Segregation Study, LLC
performed a cost segregation study on
ten restaurants we purchased in 2001. As
a result, we accelerated depreciation on
purchases that were reclassified from a
39-year life resulting in substantial
tax savings. Grant Keppel and his
associates prepared a professional
presentation and study that both our CPA
and corporate officers were impressed
with. I would recommend Cost Segregation
Study, LLC for their professionalism,
accuracy and proficiency in analyzing
and segregating costs.” -Beth
