Real Estate Businesses Face Unique Tax and Accounting Needs

Real estate isn’t like retail or consulting—it comes with its own set of tax rules, financial reporting requirements, and compliance risks. Here are just a few areas where real estate businesses often stumble without expert support:

  • Improper classification of property assets
  • Missed deductions on capital improvements or depreciation
  • Inaccurate tracking of owner distributions and equity
  • Unclear or inconsistent recordkeeping for multiple properties
  • Lack of planning for quarterly tax payments and year-end strategies

With Lighthammer, you get more than a bookkeeper—you get a partner who understands these issues from the inside out.
