Why it Matters

If your fixed asset ledger is outdated, you may be depreciating things you no longer own or missing deductions altogether. This creates inflated tax bills and audit risk.

What Is It?

A Fixed Asset Review is an important process for businesses to regularly assess, manage, and update their fixed assets such as property, equipment, machinery, and other long-term investments. This review ensures that the company’s asset records are accurate and that the assets are properly accounted for, maintained, and utilized. The benefits of a Fixed Asset Review can have a wide-ranging positive impact on financial accuracy, tax planning, and operational efficiency.

 

A comprehensive Fixed Asset Review includes an in-depth analysis of a company’s or individual’s entire fixed asset register and depreciation schedules to identify misclassified assets, double entries, and underutilized write-offs, then correcting errors in your ledger and depreciation schedules according to IRS guidelines. We clean up ghost assets, reclassify miscategorized items, and uncover deductions that were never claimed, optimizing your tax position and maximizing tax deductions and savings.

What Are the Savings?

Accurate depreciation schedules can reduce taxable income.
