Hi @Jon Hundley. Are you looking for help with both daily bookkeeping and end-of-year tax filings? While these functions are related, they usually involve two distinct types of professionals.

We've had a tax filing CPA for decades, but we only recently got help from a company that helps us manage (and make sense out of) our daily transactions. I now highly recommend them to my real estate clients and colleagues.

If you are interested, connect with me directly here and let's talk.

Hi @Mitch. Can you recommend a CPA to me as well? This will be my first year filing as an investor and I want to make sure that I take advantage of all deductions.

    @Mike Ojo.  I think it’s important that when you start talking to Accountants that they should  start the conversion with a lot of questions. This means they are trying to get a handle on your business and want to make sure they understand you and your business. They may suggest a different business structure, but beware of anyone that starts to tell you what you need to do before even discussing if you’re buy & hold or flipping or both, etc. Especially if they are trying to sell you an expensive new business structure.

    Hi @Connie Presley. I didn't notice your post until just today!

    Yes, I work with an excellent CPA in Kennesaw with an extensive clientele of experienced real estate investors.

    Connect with me here on BP if you'd like a warm introduction.

    For the record, I am an existing client, but I receive NO compensation for making this referral.

    Hey @Jeremy Luster, now that we've expanded beyond Georgia into other states, we've begun working with an Enrolled Agent (EA).

    EAs are IRS-certified tax experts, and our works specifically with real estate investors from anywhere in the U.S. and abroad who need help with federal taxes.

    I don't get DMs here, so call or email me if you'd like a referral.
