FAQs About Real Estate CPA’s

How Are Real Estate CPAs and Accountants Different?

Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and accountants both serve as professionals in the fields of accounting and financial management; however, there exist notable distinctions between the two.

CPAs are credentialed professionals who have successfully completed the Uniform CPA Exam and fulfilled the education and experience prerequisites established by their respective state's board of accountancy. These individuals are qualified to offer an extensive array of accounting services, encompassing auditing, tax preparation, financial planning, and consulting. 

Real estate CPAs, in particular, concentrate on delivering these services to clients within the real estate sector. Their expertise encompasses the distinct financial and tax implications associated with the acquisition, disposition, and administration of real estate assets.

Conversely, accountants may or may not possess a CPA license. They generally render fundamental accounting services, such as bookkeeping, payroll management, and tax preparation, but may lack the comprehensive proficiency of a CPA. Additionally, some accountants may extend financial planning and consulting services.
