CPA specializing in Real-Estate in MA
Hello everyone!
I am looking for an experienced real-estate focused CPA/EA to help maximize my returns.
I work full time (W2 income), stocks/RSU, and have several real-estate properties. I sold 2 properties this year so I really need someone who can help minimize my taxes.
My preference is MA-based CPA (near Billerica/Boston) so I can meet in person.
Any suggestions or referrals would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone!

I don't know anyone specifically in Massachusetts, but there's a lot of great CPAs on BP that will work with you virtually. Totally understand if you want a local one though.

Local expertise is not really necessary, my person is based out of state. Make sure they are a CPA and have an Enrolled Agent on staff that understands cost segs, 1031x, and depreciation on your assets. What you frankly likely need is a tax consultant rather than just a preparer.

This is probably a silly question but how do you know the difference (Tax Consultant vs Tax Preparer)? Do you have any tips/tricks to identify this easily? I'm looking for a CPA as well and wondering what are some good questions to ask when evaluating CPAs.

A strategist/consultant would act to give you specific prescriptions on what to do to limit or reduce your tax liabilities quarterly/annually. A preparer is someone you meet Feb-March each year to prepare the taxes and file. One is proactive and another is reactive.

Thanks Lien!
Would you mind sharing tap preparer's contact info? DM is fine as well.

You can private message me.
