Accruals
Paradigm Tax Group has the national exposure from managing properties in thousands of taxing jurisdictions to provide punctual and precise tax estimates for our clients. Our database retains detailed property tax information for each client's properties, throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Utilizing the historic and current information in our database enables us to furnish accurate and timely accruals for our clients on an ongoing basis. Paradigm Tax Group is also able to assist in site assessment by supplying estimates for future acquisitions. We provide accrual estimates for our clients as part of our management services, but many clients prefer to calculate their own estimates.

Auditing
Auditing of personal property records by states and localities is on the increase. In response to the expansion of states that audit, Paradigm Tax Group maintains a full-time department of audit specialists.

Office Visits
Many auditors wish to conduct their audits at the client's office. We desire to host the auditor in our office. We are generally successful in convincing the auditor to come to our office because we retain all the filing information and records needed. In the rare cases where the auditor insists on visiting a client's office, we work with our client's personnel to assist the auditor or we will send a representative from our office to assist in the audit process.

Maintain Correspondence
As our clients' property tax managers, auditors contact us with notification of pending audits. We coordinate the date and time of the audit, as well as which clients and properties are involved in the audit. We maintain all correspondence and requests made by auditors.

Provision of Records
Paradigm Tax Group retains all filing records for our clients. We, therefore, provide all necessary asset listings, explanations of classifications, and general ledgers to auditors.

Negotiate Discoveries and File Appeals
As auditors conduct their work, we engage in negotiations with them regarding our filing to minimize discoveries. If discoveries are made, we review the auditor’s findings and file necessary appeals. As with all other value appeals, we negotiate these to completion.
