Scott E. Fleming

I came up in real estate before I became your CPA. Broker first. Then the investment analyst for the people buying doors and flipping houses. I left the field in 2015, earned my CPA in 2017, and built my own firm to serve the business I came from. That order matters. I read your business from inside the cycle. I carried the commission checks myself. I underwrote the deals for the investors who bought and flipped. I know what an uneven income year does to the decisions you make inside it. I know what a strong quarter becomes at tax time. I know what a structure choice costs ten years out, because I watched investors make that call and miss it. Here is what I actually do. I run the financial side of your real estate business the way you run the rest of it. Cash flow. Entity structure. The tax strategy that decides what you keep. Cost segregation, 1031s, passive losses, real estate professional status. Set up before the clock starts, not explained after it runs out. My clients' enterprise value has to grow. That is the work. Not a cleaner return. A bigger business, and the life it was supposed to buy you. Not here to pitch. Here to be useful. Ask me the tax or money question you have not gotten a straight answer on, and I will give you one.
