Hey Bigger Pockets fam. My fiancé and I are close to pulling the trigger on our first investment property. We're trying to set up our best business practices from day one. What tools have you all used for finding a great CPA? What are some questions we should be asking while we are interviewing potential candidates? Should we try to find a CPA who mostly deals with Real Estate or are they pretty standard across the board?

There is a wide range of CPA's. Some are generalists, while others specialize in real estate. If you plan to scale in real estate, you'll probably want a specialist. There are several active ones in the BP family.
Aside from basic questions about workflow and pricing, I recommend asking this as a question in the interview process and let the CPA take it from there.
