September Meeting: Research & Development Tax Credits

The September Chapter Meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 18, 2019, at the Doubletree Guest Suites in Plymouth Meeting, PA. The Board of Directors will meet at 5:30 pm; all ASA members are welcome. The general meeting starts at 6:30. The guest speaker will be Michael J. Procaccini CPA/Engineer, CEO and Managing Partner of the Algorithm Tax Group, headquartered in Warwick, RI. Mr. Procaccini will discuss “Research & Development Tax Credits.”

Michael holds a B.S. in Accounting from Bryant University and also a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Rhode Island.  After working as a Public Accountant, including for a Regional Public Accounting Firm, he founded Algorithm Tax Group to focus on client tax benefit engagements. The firm represents clients seeking tax benefits for R&D Tax Credit, Cost Segregation and Energy Credits. Its hands-on, nuts-and-bolts approach achieves results by reviewing tax returns and performing due diligence during acquisitions, utilization, and other tax matters.

Michael’s talk will draw on his experience of over 15 years and 3000 engagements with clients, CPAs and Enrolled Agents in the USA and Canada. “Battle-tested” by numerous successfully defended IRS examinations, Michael’s understanding of R&D projects, cycles, and expenses is informed by a dual accounting and an engineering background. A business owner and strong advocate for his clients, Michael has a unique perspective to share!

Mr. Procaccini’s presentation is sure to be of value to ASA members in all disciplines. As seating for this talk is limited, please register early for this educational and productive evening which qualifies for 2 hours credit toward ASA reaccreditation.
