Cardi Corporation engaged Diligentiam in several bank and tax matters over the last several years. They have saved us millions of tax dollars and assisted us in reducing operating cost, principally in the insurance and payroll tax area. In addition, they have assisted us in obtaining financing for our operations when financial institutions were not lending to the construction industry.

They were able to bridge the bank’s criteria and our operating information in a clear and concise manner so that the information was easily comprehended. The Cardi family has been in the construction industry for over one hundred years and capital infusion has been necessary during our growth process. Now we are Rhode Island’s largest heavy highway and bridge contractor due to this growth process with the assistance of the Diligentiam team.

I have known Roland of Diligentiam and his team members for over two decades and he has assisted me in many complicated business situations. In my opinion, they are one of the leading business strategist and have saved me and my companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal and state taxes. They are more than an accountant’s accountant, they are excellent business strategist who can develop a simple solution for a highly complicated problem. In addition, they have combined various sections of the tax code to legally reduce our companies tax exposures which in turn increased cash flow.

Diligentiam’s efforts in obtaining the R & D Tax Credit had an immediate positive cash flow effect on our business. The cash we unleashed was a catalyst for growth and allowed us to make investments in technology and hire additional employees. Diligentiam is friendly and very easy to work with and we have come to view them as a partner and colleague. I would encourage any manager to allow Diligentiam to analyze his or her business to determine if any of the tools in Diligentiam’s tool box can help improve their own cash flow. In my opinion, a no-cost analysis from Diligentiam is a no brainer.

I have worked with the Diligentiam team for many years in the areas of mergers, acquisitions, taxation, real estate and entity structuring. Through their due diligence and structuring, they have saved us millions of tax dollars during our merger and acquisition spin-off phases of the railroad and the creation of a reality affiliate. In addition, the team members of Diligentiam used various sections of the Internal Revenue Tax Code to identify and combine appropriate sectors which resulted in increasing our equity by over twenty-five million dollars.  This also gave us a step up in basis on our right-of-way property for both tax and financial purposes.
