If I were to apply for a CFO role now, more than likely I have to advantage over a CFO that was in a manufacturing company for a real estate company.EAs specializes specifically in taxationCPAs have a broader knowledge for accounting, auditing, financial planning, and taxation.EA must pass a 3-part IRS exam and do not require a college degreeCPA need a degree in accounting, 150 credit hours of education, must a 4-part CPA exam.EAs often charge a lower feesI might lean more toward hiring an EA and ask how they stay updated on tax laws and regulations since I don’t really need full accounting services.

A cost segregation study looks at the overall building that you purchased and breaks it down as much as possible.The purpose of this is to increase the depreciation expense.Without a cost segregation study, you are depreciating the property over two items(Building and Land).However, a cost segregation study might identify items such as fencing which might be eligible to be depreciated over 15 years instead of 27.5 years.Depending on the year that the building was placed into service, you might be able to take bonus depreciation on certain items.The follow-up question to ask your CPA is will the cost segregation study help me, and by how much?

Might be worth it to hire a PM, or to look into getting a professional screening service.

When you engage with a new vendor, have it be a standard procedure that this worksheet or packet be filled out with documents provided before you will engage their services.
