Looking for a CPA who is knowledgable in RE and business (cost seg, business etc)

I'm looking for a CPA or firm that is knowledgable in RE taxes. Specifically cost seg., bonus depreciation, 1099 write offs for businesses etc. It's frustrating to interview CPAs where you have to teach them about certain loopholes and worry on their confidence to get the job done correctly. Any recommendations? I live in Charlotte, NC but am open to anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

@Vivek Shah

You came to the right place. A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations,  bonus depreciation and tax planning.


I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation and tax planning.

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.

I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year. You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.

There are over 20 real estate accountants on this site. Reach out to a few, see who you like and see if they are accepting new clients.

Good luck.
