Why businesses reach out
Real estate accounting is different — and generic bookkeepers get it wrong.
Texas real estate operators reach out when their books do not match their reality: depreciation, syndication K-1s, cost seg, and 1031 exchanges are the top culprits.
- Rental P&L by property does not tie to lender reports
- Cost segregation and bonus depreciation were never captured
- 1031 exchange basis is not tracked correctly
- Short-term rentals are being taxed as passive by mistake
- Syndication waterfalls and K-1s are late or wrong
- You need a firm that speaks lender, investor, and IRS

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve landlords with just one or two properties?
