Alvarez & Marsal Taxand, LLC (A&M Taxand), an affiliate of leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), announces the addition of Houston-based TRCG Advisors, a firm recognized for its tax credit and incentives transaction expertise. Effective December 31, 2017, this addition aligns with A&M Taxand’s forward-looking growth strategy while providing the opportunity to scale its R&D tax credit expertise and expand its Houston presence.

TRCG Advisors’ Tomas Nally and Andrew Murrell join A&M Taxand as Managing Directors. Collectively, 13 TRCG Advisors professionals will become part of the A&M Taxand team.

Founded in 2009, TRCG Advisors has provided small and mid-market companies with best-in-class service for planning and claiming tax credits and incentives, namely federal and state Research & Development Tax Credits, Cost Segregation Studies, 179D projects, and specialized tax incentive projects. TRCG Advisors’ comprehensive approach to improve efficiency, identify savings and capture a high-value suite of tax incentives is consistent with A&M Taxand’s method for maximizing value for clients.

The TRCG team joins A&M Taxand’s Research Credits & Incentives Services (“RCIS”) team, resulting in a combined RCIS practice consisting of four highly experienced Managing Directors and a total of 20 professionals.

“TRCG Advisors’ joining A&M Taxand is a complete win-win for our clients,” said Ernie Perez, Managing Director and Global Practice Leader of Alvarez & Marsal Taxand. “Their professionals enhance our existing R&D tax credit expertise, a knowledge base we’ve been looking to expand to better serve our clients. The result is a strong strategic partnership that supports our commitment to meeting clients’ evolving needs.”

The team of seasoned professionals from TRCG Advisors brings a breadth of experience and industry knowledge on tax credit issues. Their expertise in the R&D Tax Credit, Qualified Small Business R&D Payroll Tax Credit, IC-DISC, and state and local credits and incentives compliments A&M Taxand’s full suite of Research, Credits & Incentives Services (RCIS).

“We look forward to joining with A&M Taxand and seamlessly uniting our respective expertise and capabilities,” said Tom Nally. “The combination of A&M Taxand’s vast talent and resources in specialized tax services, along with our experienced and dedicated team, will greatly benefit and add value for our clients and stakeholders.”
