From 1974 to present, the company has also been retained by municipalities such as Yonkers, Mt. Vernon, White Plains, Pelham, Cortlandt, Peekskill, Westchester and Putnam Counties. Moreover, during this time, the firm had numerous graduates from its ranks depart for assessor positions in major municipalities.

In 1982, The Bank of New York retained the company to conduct property tax services for its many branches in various parts of New York State. Following this successful endeavor, the company assisted in the formation of an internal department to monitor property taxes for its branches.

In 1984, C.V.S. Stores retained the company for tax analysis purposes throughout New York & New Jersey.
