Our Solutions

Arbitrage Rebate Consulting

We understand that ongoing compliance with federal tax law is integral to tax-advantaged financing programs. The ideal compliance approach goes beyond simply achieving “compliance". Our professionals believe that an effective compliance approach can minimize costs by reducing liabilities and the financial and resource-driven burdens associated with managing audits or information requests initiated by the IRS. By proactively addressing arbitrage and tax compliance with our team, our clients can focus precious time and resources on their day-to-day operations.

We regularly discuss tax issues with prominent public finance law firms. Our clients are not limited to tax advice from simply one firm. Instead, we review with them and their counsel how other firms treat a given complex tax issue and provide independent advice on the benefits and risks of any given approach.

Client by client, we have built a distinguished reputation for preparing thorough and thoughtful analyses with the goal of identifying the best after-tax result. We aim to implement the most beneficial rebate minimization strategy, no matter how complicated and involved it may be. As a firm, we have found that the greatest reward is passing along the largest possible savings to our clients.

We provide refunding and defeasance escrow verification solutions through Bond Resource Partners, LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFM Asset Management. We also offer a full range of arbitrage rebate compliance and related solutions including:

Arbitrage Rebate and Yield Restriction Compliance Reports
Refunding and Defeasance Escrow Analysis and Verification Reports
Pre-Issuance Planning and Consulting
Post-Issuance Compliance Consulting including IRS Audit Assistance
