78-room Comfort Inn, recently acquired

Cost segregation freed $410K in first-year deductions

The challenge

A new owner acquired a 78-room Comfort Inn and was depreciating the entire purchase price over 39 years, leaving significant cash on the table in the years they needed it most.

What we did

We spotted the opportunity, connected the owner with a vetted cost-segregation engineering firm, and then applied the study—reclassifying roughly 28% of basis into 5-, 7-, and 15-year lives—paired with bonus depreciation on the return.

The result

The owner captured $410,000 in first-year deductions and redeployed the tax savings into the down payment on their second property within 14 months.

La Quinta
18 → 4
Days to close the books
Two-property La Quinta ownership group

Month-end close cut from 18 days to 4

The challenge

A two-property La Quinta owner was closing the books 18 days into the following month on a generic chart of accounts, with no reliable departmental P&Ls for ownership meetings.

What we did

We rebuilt both entities on a USALI chart of accounts, automated PMS-to-GL reconciliation, and consolidated reporting into a single monthly package.

The result

Close now lands in 4 business days with property-level and consolidated P&Ls, giving ownership real-time visibility into flow-through and labor cost.

Country Inn & Suites
$86K
Tax exposure resolved
Country Inn & Suites owner, 3 states

Resolved $86K in lodging-tax exposure across 3 states

The challenge

A Country Inn & Suites owner operating in three states had inconsistent occupancy-tax filings and unreconciled OTA-collected tax, creating growing audit exposure.

What we did

We reconciled OTA remittances, cleaned up exemption documentation, and negotiated voluntary disclosure agreements in two jurisdictions to cap the look-back and waive penalties.

The result

We resolved roughly $86,000 of exposure, eliminated penalties, and put a monthly multi-jurisdiction filing process in place so it never recurs.
