Accountants, CPAs & Tax Professionals

Financial and tax considerations often play an important role in real estate decisions.

Whether you're purchasing an investment property, selling a business, inheriting real estate, completing a 1031 exchange, or planning for retirement, understanding the financial implications of your decisions can help you avoid costly surprises.

This page is designed to help you understand when an accountant or tax professional may be helpful, questions you may want to ask, and provide local accounting resources serving our communities.

01

What They Do

Accountants, Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), and other qualified tax professionals may assist with tax planning, capital gains planning, 1031 exchanges, depreciation, cost segregation, business accounting, financial statements, investment analysis, estate tax considerations, retirement planning coordination, business entity selection, and bookkeeping and payroll.

02

When You Might Need One

  • Purchasing investment property
  • Selling investment property
  • Commercial real estate purchases
  • 1031 exchanges
  • Inheriting property
  • Probate or estate administration

Why Their Role Matters

Tax and accounting decisions can affect investment returns, cash flow, tax liability, estate planning, business planning, and long-term wealth building. Thoughtful tax planning before a transaction often creates more opportunities than trying to solve problems afterward.

  • Do you regularly work with real estate investors?
  • Do you advise commercial property owners?
  • Are you familiar with 1031 exchanges?
  • Do you provide proactive tax planning or only tax preparation?
