Top 25 OZ Advisor
Investing in or creating a QOF or a QOZB requires careful analysis. The tax professionals at HCVT can help you evaluate
the tax gain deferral and the business investment opportunities, provide recommendations for structuring, assist with tax
compliance services, and provide assistance with the ongoing monitoring of the qualification of the QOF and QOZBs. We
specialize in both operating businesses and real estate development and investments.
We specialize in structuring Family Office OZ Funds and assist fund managers and investors with complex tax issues.
With over 100 QOFs and QOZBs formed for our clients, we have developed several value-added elements to our clients’
OZ structures, including utilization of IRC Section 1202 Qualified Small Business Stock and layering in additional federal
and state tax credits and incentives for maximum after-tax results based on our customized approach.
