What Our Clients Say
Chris and his team went above and beyond to ensure we got the project done correctly. Just started another one with them. Well worth the effort.
I was introduced to Chris by a friend to help me with a cost segregation study. I’m new to real estate investment and Chris was very patient with me, taking the time to walk me through the cost segregation process. He provided a free estimate with various outcomes, conducted a very thorough study, and took the time to walk me through the detailed report. Everything was done timely and professional. I would highly recommend Chris and will partner with him again if I have more real estate investments in the future.
Chris and his staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. His initial estimates were great and the final report was better than those estimates! I highly recommend using Veritax/Chris for your next cost segregation report.
We were referred to Veritax Advisors for a cost segregation report for our short-term rental. Chris and his staff were excellent. They were prompt, professional and fully explained the process and the resulting report. Most importantly, their work likely saved us tens of thousands of dollars in taxes owed to both the IRS and state income tax. Highly recommend their services.
I had the recent pleasure of working with Kevin Miller, cost segregation specialist, and Chris Ostler, the founder of Veritax Advisors. From the moment of original introduction to them to their proposal and final in-person property inspection, delivery of the study, and follow-up meeting with our common client to address any of our questions, I found great professionalism at each level of engagement. Kevin stayed on top of things, was very responsive and organized, and involved Chris when additional tax questions arose. Chris looked at issues from various perspectives, which was beneficial from the cost-benefit scenario, and provided completed 481(a) adj, which is a great plus for me as a CPA. I will happily refer my clients to Veritax Advisors, knowing they will receive top-notch service, and I highly recommend them to my fellow CPAs.
Chris and his team are very professional and easy to work with. His firm performed a depreciation cost study for one of my investment properties, saving over $100K in taxes in year one. I will use Chris on future projects, and I am happy to recommend him to my fellow real estate investors.
