Background & Experience

Phil joined Bonadio in 2001, when he merged his cost segregation business into Bonadio . Now, as partner in charge of Bonadio ’s Buffalo office, and as a member of the Firm’s Team Leadership Committee, Phil’s responsibilities include client services and administrative duties as well as continuing to lead the Firm’s cost segregation line of business (MS Consultants, LLC). He is considered a national expert in the field of cost segregation studies, has participated in over 5,000 studies, and is a regular speaker at real estate and accounting seminars and conferences.

Phil’s dedication to his clients is reflected in the extraordinary effort he brings to helping them minimize their tax burdens. This dedication has been realized by his success in building one of the country’s largest cost segregation practices, and the continued growth of Bonadio ’s operations in Buffalo, where the Firm has now become one of the Top 10 largest in the area.

Prior to joining Bonadio , Phil had over twenty years experience, including serving as an audit partner for a major western New York CPA firm, where he specialized in providing accounting and business advisory services to manufacturing, distribution, construction and auto dealer clients.
