CPA in Western Pennsylvania

[Berkley Bossard]

Hello everyone. Last February I closed on my first rental property near New Castle, PA. Unfortunately, I was mobilized by the Navy for 15 months shortly after that, and never had a chance to get as far as finding a good CPA in the area and getting established with them. Does anyone know a good CPA in the area that might be willing to work with me remotely until I am home? Thanks in advance!

Berkley, 

I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local. You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.

I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return. You want an accountant that can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
