Pay less tax.
Keep more cash flow.
An engineering-based cost segregation study from CSSI accelerates depreciation on your commercial or rental property — often unlocking six- and seven-figure first-year deductions.
“The engineering-based Certain Method is the preferred approach of the IRS. That’s what we deliver — every study, every time.”
— Mike Paro, CSSI
Over a decade helping owners stop overpaying the IRS.
I’m Mike Paro, an independent representative for CSSI — the nation’s most trusted cost segregation firm. For close to ten years, I’ve worked alongside commercial and rental property owners, CPAs, and tax advisors to convert paper depreciation into real, usable cash.
Every study I deliver is engineering-based and built on the IRS-preferred Certain Method. While we can only estimate your benefit up front, I personally guarantee we will deliver the maximum accelerated depreciation your property qualifies for.

What others say about working with Mike & CSSI.
Enjoyed working with CSSI. Their expertise in cost segregation really helped us. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we understand every step of the process. From start to finish, the service was seamless and exceeded our expectations.
Recently used CSSI for two retail properties of mine. The cost seg studies turned out better than expected. I am a very happy client and will be using them on future studies.

I worked with Mike and CSSI on my new medical offices. The study netted much more than I thought possible in unlocked tax savings.
