Real Estate Accounting That Accelerates Growth

Expert tax strategy and accounting exclusively for real estate investors and short-term rental operators. Maximize deductions, reduce liability, and scale with confidence.

Services Built for Real Estate

We specialize exclusively in real estate and STR accounting. No retail, no restaurants—just deep expertise in property portfolios.

Tax Planning & Prep

Strategic tax positioning that maximizes deductions and minimizes liability for your property portfolio. We ensure rental arbitrage is filed correctly on Schedule E, saving you 15.3% in self-employment taxes.

STR Tax Strategy

Unlock the Short-Term Rental Tax Loophole to offset W-2 income with STR losses. We document material participation and ensure compliance with IRS requirements for maximum savings.

Entity Structuring

Strategic LLC formation and entity structuring for liability protection and tax optimization. We help you establish proper separation and defensible structures for audit protection.

Audit Defense 

Defensible tax positions backed by proper documentation and expert guidance. Every return includes Audit Protection at no additional cost.

 

Tools & Automation

Get accurate, property-level tracking with decision-ready financials. We integrate AI to eliminate manual data entry and ensure defensible tax positions.

Portfolio Advisory

Strategic guidance on expansion planning, property acquisition analysis, and long-term profitability optimization. We help you scale your portfolio with confidence.

Why Built On Accounting?

We're not generalists. We're specialists who understand the unique challenges of real estate accounting.

Exclusive Specialization

We only work with real estate investors and STR operators. No general businesses, no retail—just deep expertise in property portfolios.

Rental Arbitrage Expertise

Generalists don't understand your rental arbitrage portfolio the way we do. Don't let a "jack of all" tax preparer cost you time and money.

STR Tax Loophole Mastery

We help you qualify for and document the STR Tax Loophole, allowing losses to offset W-2 income—saving thousands annually for many clients.

Time-Saving Automation

We integrate Baselane, Bookkeeping.ai, Ramp, and TaxDome to eliminate manual data entry and ensure accurate, defensible records.
