Seeking: Austin/Central Texas CPA for advice and tax prep

[Laura Sulak]

Hi, all! Looking for a CPA in Austin/Central Texas who focuses on helping us real estate investors keep more of our money. I need tax advising and preparation, and I'd like to be able to meet someone face to face and for it to be someone who knows the local market.
Thank you in advance for your help with this!

Below are some tips to find a Local CPA that specializes in real estate

1) Attend a Local REIA / Real Estate meetup and see who other investors are using as a CPA
2) Network with other investors from your City/State that you find on bigger pockets and see who they use as a CPA
3) Look for CPA's with good google/yelp reviews where 'real estate' is mentioned in the review.
4) Verify that your CPA is licensed. Many 'tax professionals' lie that they are a CPA.

Here is a link that you can use to verify that your CPA is licensed within the state of Texas

While @Michael Plaks is not located in Austin - He is located within Texas which is a huge plus as he can help maneuver through the complex Texas LLC Tax Laws(if it is applicable to you). Just be mindful that he has his practice set up remotely.

Best of luck to you in your search.
