You chase your clients' paperwork all day. Your own sits in the car.
An accounting firm built for real estate agents: one monthly package for your books, tax planning and tax return.
Texts are welcome. I'll call you back.
Part-time or full-time, residential or commercial, two closings a year or two a week.
You chase your clients' paperwork all day. Your own sits in the car.
A showing moves, a closing slides, Saturday disappears. Any system that needs a set hour every week is going to fail you.
Mileage and receipts: the strictest record rules.
Nothing is withheld from a commission check, so December's closing can wreck April.
A monster year, then a quiet one. Last year's numbers aren't a plan.
Licensed in Washington and Idaho? We handle the Idaho nonresident return and help you track what it needs.
Every agent's check takes this path. When we plan during the year, the last box is one you see coming.
Illustration only, not to scale. Every agent's split, costs and tax are different. That's what the intro call is for.
13 things to track as you go, so the last box never catches you off guard.
Built to exactly what your business needs, whether you closed your first deal last month or you run the top team in town. Then I stay out of your way while you sell.
Commissions, splits, fees, mileage and receipts, kept current so nothing piles up.
Planning while there is still time to act, not just in April.
Part of the package, so April doesn't bring a separate bill.
Licensed in Washington and Idaho? We handle the Idaho nonresident return and help you track what it needs.
If you're behind or your books need cleanup, catching you up is part of getting started.
Your monthly package is built around your business: you pay for what you use, and nothing you don't.
What drives the price: how many transactions you have, whether you work solo or run a team, how your business is set up, and whether you're licensed in both Washington and Idaho. The first intro call is free, and that's where you'll get your number.

Books that work around showings and closings.

Tax planning while there is still time to act on it.
You pick the week, and everything moves through a secure client portal.
Someone you can hand your client to without wondering how it'll go.
When someone buys their first rental or short-term rental, the tax setup in year one matters. I own a short-term rental myself, and I help investors set up their books, track the right expenses, and file correctly from the start.
Tell me how you work. Nothing to gather, nothing to upload yet.
One flat monthly fee, quoted in writing before anything starts. No hourly billing, no surprises.
Your books stay current, your taxes get planned during the year, and your return is part of the package.
I'll talk to your agents about the business side: what to track, what holds up, what changes as you grow. Practical, not a pitch. No charge.

Books, taxes and planning built for how agents in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene actually work, including agents licensed in Washington and Idaho. For IRS problems, I can represent you anywhere in the country through seattax.com.
I spent seventeen years auditing small businesses and self-employed people as an IRS auditor, and more than a decade teaching other auditors how to do it. I know what a record has to show, and what holds up.
After college I worked in mortgage lending and fell in love with real estate. I've owned rentals, and I own a short-term rental myself, so the financial side of real estate is familiar ground.
I spent those years looking at records after the fact, when it was too late to fix them. Now I get to help you get them right the first time.
Yes. Washington agents who also work in Idaho file an Idaho nonresident return, and it takes some tracking during the year. We handle the return and show you exactly what to keep track of as you go.
