The importance of a CPA with RE knowledge

[Kristina Pearson]

I've been working with my current CPA for several years and have built a lot of trust, however, she's never worked with REI, rather entrepreneurs in almost every industry but RE. And after reading/listening to several books/podcasts including BP, know it's recommended to work with a CPA that has RE knowledge. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Did you seek to build a new relationship or allow your current CPA the opportunity to learn?
