Gian built the firm’s Cost Segregation practice and eventually transitioned into overseeing the firm’s growth and sales initiatives. Gian has served on KBKG’s Executive Committee for over ten years, where he’s been actively involved in strategic initiatives to grow the company’s other service offerings including R&D Tax Credits, Green Building Tax Incentives (45L and 179D), Transfer Pricing, and more recently, Employee Retention Tax Credits. The firm now includes seven offices, twelve principals, and over 150 team members across the country.

As Chairman of the Board, Greg Kniss will focus on identifying merger and acquisition targets in the coming years. In 1999, Greg and his co-founders launched KBKG to help clients perform cost segregation studies for accelerated depreciation deductions on newly constructed or remodeled property. Today, the company has expanded beyond real estate-related tax incentives to a full-service consulting team that serves a wide range of industries.

When asked about the new appointment of Gian to CEO, former Managing Principal Greg Kniss remarked, “Gian is meticulous, driven, and innovative. We would not be where we are today without his hard work and dedication to each of our practices. The future is bright with our incredible team and Gian leading the way!”
