Real Estate Accounting

Projects Change. The Numbers Follow.

Real estate profitability can be influenced by factors both inside and outside the business. Market conditions, interest rates, financing, cash flow, property and income taxes, ownership structures, and transaction decisions can all affect the value and performance of a property or portfolio.

DMJPS has decades of experience providing accounting, tax, assurance, and advisory services to businesses throughout the real estate industry. Our professionals help clients understand the financial and tax implications of business structures, investments, contemplated transactions, and ongoing operations.

Different parts of the real estate industry create different financial questions. An investor evaluating a new property may be focused on financing and tax structure, while a property manager or association may need stronger financial reporting, cash flow oversight, or internal controls.

Cost Segregation for Real Estate Owners

Whether you’ve built, purchased, or improved a commercial property, a cost segregation study may help identify qualifying assets that can be depreciated over shorter recovery periods. DMJPS works with experienced construction engineers to perform detailed, engineering-based studies that can accelerate depreciation and improve current cash flow.

Decisions That Shape Long-Term Property Value

Real estate owners, operators, developers, and investors must balance current performance with long-term property value. DMJPS helps evaluate project costs, financing, ownership structures, taxes, cash flow, and other factors that influence investment returns.
