“Takeda Pharmaceuticals initially engaged CBIZ to perform construction audits. Upon

understanding our goals and objectives, their team was able to recommend additional services to

assist in risk management and cost savings, including internal audit services and cost segregation

studies.

Working with a professional services firm that provides a full range of tax and advisory services

has been a great partnership for Takeda.

CASE STUDY – FEDERAL TAX

Issue

A real estate developer reached the end of its second renovation in two years. At the same

time, it was finalizing the acquisition of a property that underwent building updates. CBIZ

MHM identified that all three projects presented opportunities to accelerate some of the

developer’s renovation expenses.

Solution

By examining the developer’s tax filings, depreciation schedules and building plans, our

team separated the assets that must be depreciated over 27.5 or 39 years as part of the

building’s costs from those that could be placed into shorter 5, 7 and 15-year lives. One

significant asset that had been depreciated over a long life qualified for a shorter one, which

allowed for a catch-up of depreciation expense that hadn’t previously been claimed.

Our team also considered what the real estate developer renovated, which allowed

for benefits on top of those identified by the cost segregation study. The developer’s

updates to its building’s lighting, plumbing, windows and HVAC systems qualified as

repairs under the recently enacted tangible property regulations.

Outcome

The cost segregation studies and the evaluation of the tangible property regulations on the

three renovation projects allowed the developer to accelerate several development-related

expenses and significantly reduce its current year tax liability. The cumulative present value

of the tax savings to the client exceeds $8 million.

Taking full advantage of a cost segregation study and the benefits under the

tangible property regulations requires careful examination of your operations. Our

team is adept at uncovering hidden opportunities and implementing solutions that

lead to significant tax savings.

CASE STUDY – INSURANCE AUDIT

Complete Insurance Audit Yields Improved

Coverage and $600,000 in Annual Savings

CLIENT PROFILE:

Annual Revenue: $10M

Number of Employees: 85

Entity Structure: Limited Liability Corporation

Industry: Real Estate – Property Management

Ownership Structure: Privately Held

Geographical Footprint: Properties in

Multiple States

Problem

The client manages several multi-family properties in multiple states. During a

consultative discussion with their financial and tax advisers, CBIZ MHM, the client

agreed that a complete insurance audit would be welcomed to determine the

adequacy of coverage and possibilities for cost savings.

Solution

Our CBIZ insurance audit program identified both gaps in coverage and opportunities

for savings. Specifically, there was a complete exclusion of flood exposure in a flood

zone and low lying areas that caused the client to be out of compliance with their loan

and at risk for a loss that could have cost millions of dollars. Additionally, we noted

that a number of locations were identified as dog friendly properties yet their

umbrella and liability coverage specifically included an animal exclusion.

Through our national program, we were able to provide improved coverage, removed

the exclusions, and ultimately saved the client $600,000 in annual insurance expense.

Outcome

In addition to improved coverage at a lower cost, the client’s assets returned increased

market value based on decreased operating costs. Buoyed by their confidence in CBIZ

as their advocate for both financial and risk management, the client is considering

substantial expansion of their operation by acquiring a residential real estate portfolio.

As one of the largest publicly owned property and casualty insurance brokers in the

country, we are positioned to negotiate with the most competitive insurance

carriers to assure our clients of the best products and full service.

CLIENT PROFILE:

Annual Revenue: $17B

Industry: Pharmaceuticals

Ownership Structure: Corporation

Geographical Footprint: International

Issue

A pharmaceutical company was preparing to build a $55 million lab and office space. Its

contractor was to perform the work under a cost-reimbursable contract, whereby the

pharmaceutical company would be billed for the cost of the work performed in addition to a

fee that would cover the contractor’s profit and overhead up to a guaranteed maximum

price.

Solution

CBIZ Risk & Advisory specialists helped the pharmaceutical company review the draft

contract before it was signed to limit the company’s financial exposure and protect it from

various overstated costs. This allowed our team to recommend changes that would better

guard against hidden profit centers and expenses that should have otherwise been covered

by the contractor’s fee.

During our initial audit, CBIZ identified overstated costs that related to sub-

contractor labor rates. There were also markup issues. When cumulated, the totaled

subcontractor markups exceeded the aggregated markup that was included in the

contract. Our findings presented an opportunity for the company to recover upwards

of $90,000 in project fees.

Outcome

The factual cost data we provided helped the company make informed business decisions,

on a timely basis, regarding the construction project. To date, the company has recovered

$90,000 with future project savings anticipated.

Don’t be surprised by construction costs. Vague contract language, unexpected setbacks

and charges without a clear origin can wreak havoc on your construction project. Our team

performs reviews throughout the lifecycle of the construction project to identify potential

pitfalls in contract language, overstated costs and charges that do not reflect what you

agreed to pay for the work.

Client Saves $130,000 and Improves

Its Property & Liability Coverage

Issue

Our tax client owns and manages more than 2.5 million square feet of commercial

property in multiple states. Two different agents had been handling the property and

liability coverage, but the developer had concerns neither was considering its overall

insurance program.

Solution

The client’s CBIZ MHM financial advisor recommended a complete insurance review

through CBIZ Insurance Services to examine both risk exposure and cost of coverage.

The review exposed significant coverage exclusions within the developer’s insurance

program. Deductibles in certain areas were so high that had the developer incurred

any type of wind or water damage, it would have had very little insurance coverage to

help with the costs of repair. Other areas did not have coverage under its excess

umbrella policy, which could have also presented problems in the event the developer

needed to make a claim.

Outcome

By proactively identifying issues, the client was able to both improve coverage and

reduce its cost, averting the risk of discovering coverage gaps during a claims process

and saving an estimated $130,000 annually.

CBIZ delivers financial advisory, tax strategy, risk mitigation and valuation services

your return on investment and ultimately increase the value of your properties.

Proactive, Strategic Service Yields

Significant Reduction in Premium Spend Issue

This family-owned real estate investment and management company’s leadership

felt it was not receiving informed and proactive guidance from its benefits broker.

As a medium-sized employer, they suspected they were underserved by their

current broker’s unseasoned team who offered no long-term strategy and what

seemed to be stock programs with few options for their employees.

Solution

Following a thorough meeting with the company’s CFO, CBIZ ESO Benefits

Consultants developed a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) employing a

hybrid funding platform reversing the company’s renewal direction from a 9%

premium increase to a 12% net reduction in premium spend (a savings of $73k).

Additionally, a customized dashboard was developed—a standard for all CBIZ

ESO consulting engagements—to help the CFO and HR Director dictate various

scenarios for planning purposes and form a basis for long-term strategic plan.

Outcome

The company’s leadership now have a tool to help them discuss plan strategy,

detail and costs with company leadership. Developing a truly proactive and

strategic consultative relationship has been perhaps as important to the client as

the savings, according to the company’s CFO. “It is something that I’d never seen

before and something we’d been searching for for years.”

The Value of Industry Expertise

and a Culture of Client Service Issue During a conference call with our client, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, regarding a construction

cost review, their Senior Manager of Real Estate expressed interest in having a cost

segregation study performed on that same new lab construction.

Solution A single phone call to the leader of our National Cost Segregation Practice led to the quick

provision of an overview and benefits of performing a cost segregation study. A meeting

was scheduled with Takeda’s corporate team to discuss the cost segregation process and

expectations for tax benefits.

We noted that much of the information required for this study was already available to us

from the Construction Cost Review. Meeting with key project stakeholders was an

opportunity to develop confidence in our team’s depth of knowledge and ability to complete

the study in time to meet financial reporting deadlines.

Outcome The client’s corporate team greatly appreciated the seamless service extended by

our industry practice team. Their confidence and comfort level with the people they

would be working with led to a quick decision to engage CBIZ.

The cost segregation study involved approximately $55 million of leasehold improvements

being undertaken by Takeda for their new lab and office space in Cambridge.

Our approach to client service: Contribute value by taking a holistic, advisory

approach, listening to client concerns and both responding to and anticipating

client needs. Our national industry practice structure prepares us to understand

your issues and deliver authentic client service.
