Is your Accountant Ripping You Off?

Before you can get some tax saving and wealth building work done, you may need help from a qualified CPA. Unfortunately there are more 'bad' CPA's out there than good ones. 

Here's some tips on how to spot the difference and find a gem who can become part of your 'tax-busting' team. 

HOW TO SPOT A BAD CPA 

• They charge astronomical fees for bad, COSTLY advice 

• Their incompetence will cause you to pay MORE taxes and get in trouble with the IRS 

• They think they know it all, when in fact they DON'T! 

• They have little or no knowledge about real estate investing • They can be overly conservative which means YOU can lose out of thousands of tax savings. 

• They can make careless, sloppy mistakes - which are sometimes ILLEGAL 


 WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN EXCELLENT CPA 

• They are not afraid to use creative, aggressive strategies to save you a TON on your taxes 

• They have taken advanced tax courses 

• They own real estate and continue to invest on a regular basis. 

• They attend real estate conferences and bootcamps to stay informed. 

• They have written articles, white papers and reports on tax-saving strategies. 

• They have a long-standing reputation for being ethical and knowledgeable. 

• They are competent, hungry, energetic and willing to what it takes to help you build your wealth legally.
