Tax-Saving, Compliant & Expert Tax Services

We focus exclusively on the hospitality industry, helping hotel and motel owners save thousands in taxes while staying fully compliant.

Income Tax Return Preparation

Hotel taxes aren’t like other businesses—and that’s exactly why we specialize in them. We identify industry-specific deductions, credits, and strategies that generalist CPAs routinely miss, helping hotel and motel owners legally reduce taxes and keep more cash in the business. Every return is prepared through a hospitality lens, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and maximum tax savings. With decades of hotel-focused experience, we deliver results that traditional CPAs simply can’t match.

Other Tax Returns

Hotels and motels face a unique mix of compliance obligations—sales tax, occupancy tax, payroll tax, business personal property tax, and more. We handle every required filing accurately and on time, ensuring compliance and preventing costly penalties. With our hospitality-focused approach, you get filings done right the first time and a clear understanding of what each tax means for your bottom line.

IRS Representation

When the IRS contacts you, you want someone who understands both tax law and the hotel industry at your side. Our hotel-focused CPAs represent you in audits, examinations, notices, appeals, and payment issues, protecting you from unnecessary assessments and stress. Our team handles the IRS so you can stay focused on running your property—not navigating government bureaucracy.

Free Second Opinion

Many hotel owners unknowingly overpay taxes because their returns were prepared by non-hospitality CPAs. Our free second opinion gives you a risk-free way to see whether money was left on the table. We review past and current returns to spot missed deductions, credits and incentives, and hotel-specific tax strategies and opportunities. If savings exist, we help you recover them through amended filings—if not, you gain confidence knowing your taxes were done right.

Hospitality tax credits and incentives
Cost segregation studies
