In 2021, Modern Tax Group found itself in the orbit of one of the largest automotive parts suppliers in the country—a company with a sprawling presence across Texas. Their operations were massive, their tax liabilities even more so. They needed someone to cut through the clutter, and Modern was ready. At the center of this story is Desmond Ward, one of our sharpest consultants, who quickly became the linchpin in what has turned into an incredible success story.

By 2022, Desmond and the team at Modern had already started making waves. With 35 locations across Harris County, this automotive giant was weighed down by hefty business personal property (BPP) taxes, facing payments that were simply unsustainable. We weren't just looking for small wins—we were digging deep, assessing every angle, and approaching the task with the kind of precision required to make a real difference.

That year, Modern delivered a massive reduction in their BPP tax liability, saving the company a staggering amount. It wasn’t just about the numbers, we knew that every dollar saved could be reinvested in the company’s growth, and the results spoke to the careful planning and execution that had gone into the strategy.

This wasn’t just a one-off success story or a single year of good fortune. The results we’ve achieved since 2021 with this automotive parts supplier have built a partnership that’s rooted in consistency, hard work, and mutual respect. Our Consultant's role in that can’t be overstated—their ability to navigate complex tax structures and find opportunities that others might overlook has been essential.

The company now sees Modern not as just another service provider but as a critical part of their strategy. Every year brings new challenges, new assessments, and new opportunities, but the results remain the same: substantial savings and a smoother path forward for a company that’s always looking to optimize and grow.

Looking ahead, this partnership between Modern and one of the automotive industry’s key players is only getting stronger. The trust that’s been built, the results that have been delivered, and the sense of partnership we’ve developed all point to a future where both companies continue to thrive, driving innovation and success—one tax bill at a time.
