Hello,
I am looking for a person for taxes and that has knowledge in real estate and business. Our regular accountant has canceled our appointment due to a an terminal cancer diagnosis.
I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and is proactive instead of reactive when providing advice.
Working remotely with your accountant will expand your options. The best person for the job may not be local.
I would also recommend looking for an accountant who will work with you throughout the year. You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.

@Bill Hampton I really like in person. I feel it makes it easier to explain things and naturally bring up questions I would not otherwise ask. I have a hard time picking up non-verbal communication over zoom and therefore in person is best for me.

OP. Actually meeting with our tax preparer today. Ask several of your Commercial real estate brokers in the area who they recommend. That is how we found ours.
Given you have both real estate and business involved, this is one of those moments where having the right person matters more than just having someone available. There’s a lot of nuance there, and it helps to have someone who can step in, get things handled, and also think a bit further ahead for you.
Also, just to open up your options ...you’re not limited to Eugene. Many firms (ours included) work with clients across the country in a fully remote setting, so you can prioritize fit and expertise over location, especially when timing is important.
In situations like this, what tends to help most is having someone who can stabilize things now, but also bring structure and clarity going forward so you’re not dealing with uncertainty year after year.
