Hello, Smart Money Tree podcast listeners. Welcome to this week's show. My name's Kirk Chisholm and I will be your host.

So today we're talking with Bobby Tims. Hey, Bobby. Hey, Kirk. How you doing? Good, good. We're going to be

talking about something that, to me, I find fascinating. I want to bring Bobby on to talk about this,

because there's, you know, there's an area of the tax code that to me is really intriguing,

and that's green energy tax credits. So I wanted to bring Bobby on and talk about that. So Bobby, can you tell us a little bit about your background? A bit about my background.

I started my career right out of college with Bryce Waterhouse Coupers pretty quickly fell right

into a role in the specialty tax services, doing cost segregation studies, fixed assets,

everything around depreciation and lowering

that taxable income. I worked in their Atlanta office for the first eight years or so of my career.

And when they offered an opportunity to move to Denver to help open up a new Midwest office,

I jumped on that, came out to Denver

and began building the fixed asset team for the Denver office. While doing that, you know,

kind of building a team from scratch, I thought it would be a good time to step out, start my

own business doing the same thing, taking those tools, and moving them down to

different markets that really are underserved in the cost segregation in green energy space.

So that's how I wound up here and it's where I am now.

Let's kind of take a big step back because I know some of the listers probably won't be

following this. What is cost segregation? Cost segregation is a tax planning tool based solely around

real estate and commercial properties. It is solely related to the basis of those properties

and how they're capitalized on your books

for the most optimized depreciation.
