About EATMS

The firm where the engineer and
the accountant are the same person.

EATMS exists because two conversations that should happen together almost never do: how work should be designed, and how the tax code rewards designing it well.

OUR STORY

Why ergonomics and tax
live under one roof.

Most ergonomics firms hand you recommendations and leave. Most tax firms show up after the fact, hunting through records that were never built to support a position. EATMS was founded on a simple observation from years of preparing returns: the businesses that improve how their people work are already doing the things the tax code rewards. They just aren't documenting them.

A production line redesigned to cut operator error. A control interface rebuilt so decisions happen faster with fewer mistakes. A facility whose lighting, power, and layout serve a specific work process. Each of these is an engineering project, a performance gain, and, done and documented correctly, a tax event.

We built EATMS to run those projects from the start with the end in mind. The measurement discipline that makes the redesign work is the same discipline that makes the tax position hold.

THE TEAM

All the credentials. One team.

EATMS is a small team: a practicing CPA with a degree in Human Systems Engineering and a certificate in ergonomics, alongside deep field experience in cost segregation and hands-on R&D delivery.

The team that instruments the baseline and designs the experiments is the team that applies the four-part test and answers the examiner. Nothing is lost between the floor and the return. And we challenge each other's work on purpose: what reaches you has already survived the argument.

01 · Measured

Data before opinion

We quantify the baseline before we touch anything, and we measure again after. Numbers you can manage by and file with.

02 · Documented

Records built to survive review

Test logs, versioned designs, pilot data, and time tracking are produced as the work happens, not reconstructed at filing time.

03 · Defensible

Honest scoping, both directions

We tell you plainly when an activity does not qualify for an incentive. A credit worth claiming is one worth keeping.

RELATIONSHIPS & DISCLOSURES

Who else you may work with,
stated plainly.

A&B Tax Services. EATMS shares its founder with A&B Tax Services, a tax preparation firm. Businesses that come to EATMS directly may choose to have their returns prepared there; businesses referred by an accountant keep that accountant, and their returns are never solicited.

Your accountant. EATMS does not prepare returns for referred clients or solicit their compliance work. Deliverables go to you and, at your direction, to your preparer.

files what it builds.
