About Our Founders
Alpine West Group was founded by husband-and-wife team Andrew and Alicia Hess. Together, they specialize in the Self-Storage and assisting Commercial Real Estate owners in maximizing their investments through Strategic Tax Planning Services and Customized Cost Segregation studies.
Andrew and Alicia struggled with making decisions on what assets to buy, if and when it made sense to sell, how it would impact cashflow and the associated tax implications. The lack of knowledge hindered their decision making and slowed down their wealth building.
They realized what they desperately needed was a Strategy from a trusted advisor with a proven track record. Someone, who could advise on a plan of action to eliminate the overwhelm, accelerate wealth building and mitigate the tax burden.
Andrew and Alicia sought out the best in the industry and from there was born the partnership with Tax Wealth and Alpine West.
