CAPITAL REVIEW GROUP UNVEILS NEW CAPITAL DISCOVERY™ SERVICES

Phoenix, AZ – Phoenix-based consulting firm, Capital Review Group (CRG), has announced enhanced service offerings under the new name of Capital Discovery™.  CRG President, Ben Montclair, defines Capital Discovery™ as the process of identifying unrealized value in clients’ capital assets based on insight into tax effects, technical assessment, and intimate understanding of rebates and incentives.

Montclair explains that the company has developed the Capital Discovery ™ process over years of successfully identifying tax effects that yield immediate and dramatic financial advantage for clients and applying discovered capital to high-value energy projects.  “We have a team of experts who have refined and advanced our process into something truly unique,” Montclair states.  “We believe that Capital Discovery™ is the only holistic approach available to business owners today that combines engineering solutions, tax strategies, and financial analysis to create high value, low risk investments in energy projects.”

CRG Founder, Marky Moore, adds, “We are very excited to offer our team’s specialized knowledge to maximize savings for our clients, while significantly enhancing return on investment on energy projects.”  Both CRG leaders confirm that the goals of Capital Discovery ™ include assessing clients’ capital assets and operational activities to identify tax effects that yield financial advantage to the client.  “Our first priority is to ensure that clients avoid surprises and unnecessary spending,” says Montclair.  “We can then apply discovered capital towards high-value energy projects, resulting in win-win situations for our clients.”

Only CRG combines these highly effective strategies with additional value added services such as 179D analysis and design recommendations which capture up to $1.80 per square foot in federal incentives and tax deductions; designing to accelerate the depreciation of lighting and other energy systems; and abandonment review, which captures unused depreciable life of energy system assets replaced during an energy efficiency upgrade.  Most of CRG’s services begin with a preliminary review and analysis at no cost to clients.  For more information, visit www.capitalreviewgroup.com.

Phoenix, AZ – Phoenix-based Capital Review Group (CRG) is now offering customized, comprehensive energy surveys to businesses.  CRG’s “Level I” energy survey is typically a facility walk-through focusing on low-cost or no-cost energy efficiency/conservation measures, operational improvements and behavioral practices.  CRG CEO, Marky Moore, explains, “Due to the inexpensive nature of many energy efficiency/conservation measures, many clients find a significant return on investment.” This type of survey/audit can determine whether a more detailed analysis is required, and also allows clients to prioritize energy-efficiency/conservation measures.

CRG is also offering a more in-depth survey/audit targeting specific energy efficiency measures and investment grade surveys.  The results of this type of survey indicate capital expenditures and include Life Cycle Costing and full financial evaluation and analysis.  Moore points out that a CRG Level II survey/audit includes energy use analysis with engineering calculations, as well as financial analysis of proposed energy efficiency/conservation measures, including a full incentive overview and summary.  “CRG’s LEVEL II surveys/audits also provide a more in-depth analysis of existing behaviors, operations and maintenance (O&M) procedures and possible impact of savings/efficiency measures,” Moore says.

Moore explains that energy surveys performed by experts in the field are the most effective way to evaluate energy usage and ways to cut energy costs, as well as discovering possible green tax incentives.  CRG’s team is trained to look at all of the factors that may be contributing to your energy costs, providing you with a thorough diagnosis of your energy usage situation.

CRG’s holistic approach to energy surveys is unique in the industry, and the comprehensive process begins with data collection and thorough analysis, using Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) data for comparison purposes.  The CRG engineering team conducts a site visit, evaluating HVAC, lighting, water heaters, electric motors and any other energy consuming equipment.  Further analysis and recommendations are revealed in the survey/audit report.

Moore explains, “A comprehensive Energy Surveys/Audit should provide measurable and manageable opportunities for operational savings through energy efficiency measures, a full and thorough cost/financial analysis as well as assuring the qualification for all federal and other jurisdictional incentives.”

CRG provides critical tax and specialty services to accounting and legal professionals, clients and institutional partners, as well as performing energy surveys/audits, reserve studies and additional services in the areas of Cost Segregation, the 2005 Energy Act/Section 179D, business tax credits and specialty construction/engineering consulting.
