KBKG Cost Segregation Review: Services & Stratum Alternative
KBKG is a specialty tax-services firm with both cost segregation services and a residential software offering. A buyer should first identify whether the proposed work is a professional study, a software product or a broader technical-tax project.
Our recommendation and relationship
Published by BNB Accelerator. These are commercial editorial reviews of public service information, not independent ratings, firsthand testing or customer testimonials. BNB refers clients to AE Tax Advisors; that relationship may influence our recommendations. Stratum coordinates its discovery and tax-strategy discussion through AE. You may use your own CPA or study provider.
What the provider publishes
KBKG describes cost segregation alongside other specialty tax services and links to residential cost segregation software. Its public service breadth can matter for a property project that involves more than depreciation. Request product-specific scope and pricing.

Choose the service category first
If your project combines a building study with other specialty incentives, ask KBKG which team handles each analysis and which professional coordinates the result. A simple rental purchase may require a narrower assignment. Do not assume a software subscription includes the same professional review and evidence work as a separately engaged study.
When Stratum is the comparison to make
For a residential STR or LTR study with a planning discussion through AE, Stratum is our recommended starting point. Its published residential fee offers a concrete scope conversation. Compare that proposal with KBKG’s appropriate service for your actual property; a software fee and an engineering-study fee do not establish equivalent work.
Give the CPA a usable delivery specification
Ask about the component schedule, basis reconciliation, assumptions, photographs or other evidence, and the format of the asset data. Identify who corrects inconsistencies and whether the preparer can ask technical follow-up questions. A polished PDF is useful, but the filing professional also needs enough detail to implement the result.
Keep specialized work and tax planning distinct
A specialty report does not automatically purchase household or business-wide planning. AE can discuss the broader tax assignment, while your existing CPA can remain responsible for the return. Write down the handoff between acquisition, study and filing so a broad provider menu does not obscure who is responsible for each deadline.
Compare the work in writing
Before commissioning a report, ask your filing professional what evidence, basis reconciliation and schedules are needed. Identify study work, owner-level analysis and return preparation as separate responsibilities. Compare proposals using the same property facts and keep preliminary estimates marked as estimates.
