About – Indurante

President's Message

Welcome to the new Indurante website!

Since my last posting (which I’m afraid to admit how long ago that was ), Indurante continues to explore ways to provide excellent service and leadership to our industry. We recently updated our Railmarx software to be on the cutting edge of property tax filings for owners and fleet managers in the private railcar world.

We have several clients taking advantage of our all-inclusive service, which has increased tenfold over the past five years. It is more efficient and effective to have Indurante pay the tax bills to the respective jurisdictions and states, eases the burden of the taxpayer following the many due dates, and avoids potential late fees and penalties.

I am extremely pleased to see our employee retention remain very strong. Noelle, Kristen, Emma and Mark were a part of Indurante when I purchased the company in 2018, and they remain as committed today as they were then. We have added Tyler to the mix, you may have read in her recent post on our website, and she will be celebrating her one-year anniversary with Indurante next month.

Additionally, we engaged with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in securing a student to work part-time during our filing season. Dakari was a great addition last spring while providing him with “real world” experience before his graduation in May.

Indurante is also a member of the Rail Supply Institute (RSI) Tax Committee. We meet twice a year to discuss the current legislative affairs in various states and receive updates from lobbying groups who represent the industry. This is very important as we are able to stay up to date on all property tax developments and inform our clients of pertinent updates.

We are pleased to be able to represent your interests. Happy Holidays to all and thank you for your partnership.
