Session : Smart Money Moves for Architecture Firms: Incentives, Credits, and Cash Flow
Conference: TxA25 • Cultivate
Date & Time: Friday, October 31st at 1:30 PM
Location: Fort Worth Convention Center – Fort Worth, TX
Speaker: Sam Koch, EPSA USA

Description:
With architecture firms facing tighter margins and shifting project timelines, smart financial strategy is more important than ever. This session breaks down two powerful federal incentives that can significantly impact your bottom line: the Section 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Building Deduction and the Section 41 R&D Tax Credit.

In light of recent federal legislation—The One Big Beautiful Bill—firms can once again fully expense qualified R&D activities, and 179D now carries a firm expiration date, making timing and planning critical. Whether you’re looking to claim retroactive refunds or get ahead on current and future projects, this session offers architecture professionals practical tools to boost cash flow and strengthen partnerships with financial advisors.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn how recent legislative updates affect eligibility for 179D and R&D incentives.

• Identify firm activities that may qualify for significant tax savings.

• Explore opportunities to amend past returns and improve future planning.

• Gain confidence in discussing incentive strategies with CPAs and internal teams.

• Prepare actionable steps to maximize benefits before year-end.
