About Bedford
|  
|
Bedford’s cost segregation practice was established in 2002 to satisfy the growing need for a national firm that could provide high quality cost segregation services. Inevitably, as our reputation grew so did the demand for our services.
Today, we are proud to say that Bedford is the fastest growing and perhaps the largest cost segregation company in the United States. We currently have seven regional offices and more than 50 people on staff. We have worked very hard to establish ourselves as one of the nation's leading and most respected providers of engineering-based cost segregation services.
Bedford has conducted over 3,000 studies (with no outsourcing) and had the privilege of assisting hundreds of accounting firms in providing this valuable service to their clients. Our project experience includes engagements on properties with depreciable costs ranging from $350,000 to $1.4 billion, 3,000 square foot tenant improvements to buildings in excess of 2 million square feet, and everything from a simple self storage facility to a highly complex manufacturing plant.
Bedford is an independent professional services firm specializing in cost segregation. We are not an affiliate or spin-off of a competing accounting firm and are not interested in replacing our client’s current CPA or tax advisor. We are committed to working closely with their advisors to provide them with the best cost segregation services available.
Our technical staff is comprised of professional engineers (P.E.s), multi-disciplinary engineers, architects and construction professionals. Each has a four year related technical degree and a minimum of ten years relevant experience. Additionally, many of them have an advanced degree. This team is highly qualified and they employ a true engineering methodology, which is based on what we refer to as sound engineering.
Due to the multidisciplinary nature of cost segregation we also have an internal tax department, with significant cost segregation experience, to assist our clients and strategic partners.
Committed to Excellence
Bedford is truly committed to best practices. We enforce a very rigid quality control process which includes a senior technical and tax review to ensure accuracy. Every study we issue is certified by three professionals (1) the field engineer who performed the study and wrote the report, (2) the senior engineer who reviewed the report and (3) our Vice President of Tax who also reviews each report. The outcome is a highly detailed cost segregation study of the finest quality; a study that provides maximum benefits and is truly defensible if ever called under IRS scrutiny. In the unlikely event of an IRS examination we provide free audit support.
Some of our key commitments include:
• Integrity
• Outstanding Service
• On Time Delivery
• Highly Qualified Professionals
• Industry Involvement & Advancement
• Happy Clients
We know that our credibility and your trust are on the line with each engagement and we eagerly take on this responsibility with a firm commitment to your complete satisfaction. While Bedford is rarely the “low-cost” provider, we always offer the highest value. This unwavering commitment is the key to our success, but don’t just take our word for it, take a look at what our clients are saying.
