Frequently Asked Questions
Why do real estate investors and business owners need a CPA?
CPA’s are knowledgeable with the foundations of business. When it comes to forming an entity, ensuring that the correct taxes forms are filed, strategic tax planning, and keeping your books and records organized, an accountant is an indispensable part of any business.
Who are your typical clients?
MOA specializes in real estate investment taxation. We service newbie house hackers, buy and hold investors, flippers, wholesalers, and realtors. Our typical client works as an employee, but invests on the side in hopes of gaining financial freedom. A portion of our clientele are small business owners as well. As a virtual CPA firm, we work with clients in all 50 states.
Do I need a CPA in my state?
Unlike attorneys, CPA’s are able to work for clients in all 50 states. The lion’s share of tax strategies as a real estate investor or small business owner will center around the federal tax code, not so much the state tax code. State nuances can typically be researched and dealt with by most CPA’s. It’s much more critical to work with a CPA that specializes in your industry than to have one in your state. Don’t let geography be a barrier.
