Expert Wisdom
Insights & Tips
Practical advice from our senior leadership team to help you maintain clarity and control in the real estate and construction sectors.
Tax
Lead by Carrie Rivera, CPA, MST
Tax planning only works if it starts early
Once the year is over, options disappear. Real tax savings come from planning tied to real numbers before December 31.
Entity structure matters more than most realize
Many real estate and construction businesses overpay taxes simply because their entity structure doesn't match their current operational reality.
Predictability beats surprises
Good tax planning doesn't just reduce tax—it creates predictability so owners can plan cash, distributions, and reinvestment.
Advisory / CFO
Lead by Steve Dohan, CPA, MBA
Better decisions come from fewer, better metrics
You don't need 30 reports. You need a small set of KPIs that actually drive behavior—cash flow, margin, backlog, and utilization.
Cash flow timing matters more than profit
In real estate and construction, profitable businesses still fail due to timing. CFO-level forecasting keeps owners ahead of reality.
Advisory isn't about meetings—it's about execution
The value of advisory comes from clear priorities, accountability, and follow-through—not theoretical strategy decks.
Accounting & Bookkeeping
Lead by Soraya Londano
Monthly closes beat 'good enough' books
If your books aren't closed monthly, you're guessing. Real estate and construction businesses need up-to-date data for project-level decisions.
Payroll and bill pay errors create tax and cash problems
Late or inconsistent payroll and AP processing doesn't just create stress—it distorts cash flow reporting and creates compliance risks.
Clean books are leverage, not overhead
Accurate bookkeeping reduces tax prep time, improves advisory value, and lowers assurance costs. It's an investment in control.
Assurance & Attest
Lead by Joey Joseph, CPA
Lenders and investors care about clarity, not volume
Well-prepared financial statements with clear documentation matter more than complexity. Clean inputs make assurance smoother and faster.
Assurance works best when accounting is disciplined
Most assurance delays come from underlying accounting issues. Strong bookkeeping shortens timelines and reduces stress.
Scope clarity prevents friction
Audit, review, and compilation services each serve different needs. Choosing the right level of assurance avoids unnecessary cost and disruption.
