Specialized Tax & Accounting for Real Estate Investors, Syndicators, Operators, and Developers.

Did you get your money’s worth on that fancy tax advisory package you bought from the other guys? I didn’t think so. Never second guess advice again and only pay for what you need.

Who Do I Help?

• Anyone from experienced operators/syndicators with complex capital structures to individual investors just getting started out.
• I offer white glove service to large operators and family offices with established real estate holdings (typically >$25M AUM),
• I help newer operators/syndicators who are used to simple JVs who need guidance as they branch into private-equity-style capital structures and funds.
• Are you just starting out?
  • Great! Though I normally advise on larger operations, I help beginners too, so it doesn’t hurt to reach out.

What Do I Do?

I’m glad you asked.

I mainly do the following:

• Proactively advise real estate operators looking for tax efficiency,
• Work with sophisticated property managers and internal accounting teams to build out asset management level accounting for robust real estate businesses.
• Creatively structure syndications, funds, and complex partnerships/JVs to achieve total tax optimization,
• Serve as a second set of eyes for syndication and real estate attorneys tasked with drafting LPA, LLCA, OA, PPM, etc.,
• Pick up the phone when my clients are at the closing table and need help putting out last-minute fires,
• And last but not least, I spend January through March 15th preparing thousands of K-1s for my clients’ investors.

About Me.

I aspire to live in a van down by the river. Except the van has Starlink… and dual monitors ready to send K-1s from Moab, UT. Who said van life wasn’t for CPAs?

If you are looking for suit and tie, grey hair and a fax number, you won’t find that here. I am younger than the tax code I advise on, and I was in diapers when your last CPA was being promoted to partner at the firm that they sold their soul to for a few hundred grand a year.

^^Obligatory Headshot.

Read my previous posts on **LinkedIn** to benefit from some free tax knowledge and to get a sense of the problems I solve for clients.

I run a solo practice, however I have spent the last two years optimizing my systems to operate at the same level as a firm with several employees using proprietary applications and automations.

My expertise is in all aspects of real estate taxation including maximizing depreciation and CapEx expense, partnership taxation, waterfall / PE-style economics, complex real estate transactions (1031x, 721, TIC, OZ, Funds, etc.), and tax-efficient GP fee/carry structuring.
