Real estate first

Built for self-employed agents

Most CPAs treat real estate agents like a W-2 employee with extra paperwork. We handle the things that are specific to your business: self-employment tax, S-corp election timing, mileage, home office, and the deductions you usually miss.

Year-round

We work with you all year, not just April

Tax season is the easy part. The real work happens June, August, October, when you are deciding whether to fund a SEP-IRA or staff up. We check in throughout the year so April is a confirmation, not a surprise.

Real human service

Phone calls, not ticketing systems

You know your market. We learn yours. We are based in Missoula, Montana, and work with agents and teams from coast to coast. Real conversations, real answers, same-week response.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about hiring a CPA for real estate agents.

Do I need a CPA if I'm a single real estate agent at a brokerage?

If you cleared more than $50,000 in commissions last year, almost certainly yes. Self-employment tax alone is 15.3%, on top of federal and state income tax. A few well-tracked deductions and the right structure (often an S-corp election once net profit is consistently above $50,000 to $60,000) can save you several times what a CPA costs.

General benchmark: when your net profit after business expenses is consistently above $50,000 to $60,000 a year. That is the threshold where the S-corp tax savings usually outweigh the cost of payroll and the second return. Try our S-corp calculator, then book a call and we will confirm with your actual numbers.

Yes. Quarterly estimates are part of every year-round engagement. We calculate them, remind you when they are due, and keep you out of the IRS underpayment penalty and the cash crunch of a big April surprise.

The ones we see left on the table most often: mileage (often tens of thousands of dollars a year), home office, MLS dues and broker fees, lead-gen subscriptions, CRM software, professional photography, staging costs, and the business-use portion of cell and internet. We build a deduction baseline you can carry forward year after year.

Pricing depends on your setup (single agent vs. team, S-corp vs. sole prop, bookkeeping needs), but every engagement is flat-rate and quoted up front. Book a 20-minute call and we will give you a real number on the spot.

No. We work with real estate agents and teams nationwide. Everything is handled by phone, video, and secure document sharing. If you do happen to be local, we are based in Missoula and you are always welcome at the office.
