Nashville, Tennessee – June 19, 2015 - Accruit’s Director of National Accounts, Stephen Doherty, spoke last week at a networking event hosted by the Independent Equipment Dealers Association (IEDA) on the topic of 1031 like-kind exchanges and their use in the heavy equipment industry.

“Last year, Accruit’s heavy equipment clients enjoyed nearly $2 billion in cash benefits from 1031 like-kind exchanges, a game changer in the competitive rental equipment market allowing businesses to offer customers higher quality rental equipment,” said Doherty. “We’re excited to offer this opportunity to IEDA members.” Accruit, the leading provider of qualified intermediary services to the industry, joined the IEDA as an Associate Member in April of this year.

“We knew the importance of 1031s in the equipment industry and are pleased to have a leader in that field join our organization. Accruit is a great addition to this growing network of dealers and our reputable members have already begun to learn and inquire more about the benefits of this cash retention strategy,” said Kristen Williams, Executive Director at IEDA.
