I have been in the cost segregation industry since 1996. I worked at Deloitte, RSM McGladrey, and my own consulting company prior to joining KBKG. With over 25 years in cost segregation at various sized companies, I am aware of the different

This organization has directly benefited my career, and I would like to build upon the astounding work of those that came before. Membership in the ASCSP adds to our legitimacy as professionals by offering certification, creating a common body of knowledge, and providing a forum to discuss tax opinions; all while getting to know the most influential people in the industry. These are the most important areas I’ll be most focused on preserving and improving if elected.

KBKG

Ryan VanderVelden, CCSP

I have been a part of the ASCSP since 2017. I became a Certified Member in 2022 and have been on the Testing Committee since 2022.

I have worked at KBKG for 10 years. I have a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from California State University, Chico, and an Engineer-In-Training (EIT) license issued by the California Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists. I also currently serve as the Committee Secretary on the KBKG Volunteer Committee.

I am seeking election to the ASCSP Board of Directors because I am at a unique point in my career where I feel I am best poised to work with the more tenured members of the organization to grow the ASCSP and to serve as an example for newer members who are just starting with the ASCSP. I consider it my personal duty to help pave the way for others who are in the early stages of their career through mentorship and education. I feel that serving on the Board will give me an opportunity to work with all members of our organization to grow and advance our field and our careers.

Thank you for consideration.

Max Vignola, CCSP

I have been a member of the ASCSP since 2015, in that time I have not had the pleasure of being on the board but assisted the education and testing committees by proctoring the exams during the annual conference.   Max joined Source Advisors in May 2021 and currently works as a Director of Technical Sales. He has more than sixteen years of experience working with taxpayers of all industries to qualify and quantify R&D Tax Credits. Max specializes in the analysis and application of the R&D Tax Credit as it applies to each taxpayer.

In this role, he ensured that the studies being performed were done so in line with the most current tax legislation. Additionally, Max was responsible for the development and growth of the R&D Tax Credit practice at Bedford.

Max started his career at PwC’s Tax Products Delivery Group (TPDG), specializing in Research and Development Tax Credits and Cost Segregation Studies. While working at PwC’s TPDG in Boston, Max assisted taxpayers in the Manufacturing, Financial Services, High Tech, and Pharmaceutical industries.

Max has reviewed, worked, or managed over 2,000 special incentive studies in his career. He received his Bachelor of Science in Accounting and his Masters in Forensic Accounting from Southern New Hampshire University.

I think I could bring a different perspective and curiosity to the board as I immerse myself back into Cost Segregation.
