We serve real estate investors, landlords, and small developers

We’re a good fit if you:

Are a professional or semi‑professional athlete with income across teams, leagues, or countries

Earn from endorsements, appearance fees, prize money, or sponsorships

Work as a coach, trainer, or performance professional with multiple income streams

Have a mix of W‑2, 1099, and business income and want a coherent plan, not just filings

Participate in real estate funds or syndications and need K‑1 coordination

If you want a tax and accounting partner who understands the realities of athletic careers (short windows, frequent moves, and complex income) we're here to help.

Common challenges we help with

Sports careers create unique complexity. Typical issues we see:

  • Multi‑state and sometimes multi‑country income across seasons

  • Irregular cash flow from contracts, bonuses, and incentives

  • Endorsement and sponsorship income flowing through different entities and contracts

  • Difficulty tracking deductible expenses (training, travel, staff, equipment)

  • Questions about when to form an LLC or S‑Corp, and how to structure deals around it

Our goal is to make the picture legible so you can make better decisions, not just file returns.

Entity and endorsement planning

As your career grows, structure starts to matter more:

  • Deciding when to form an LLC or S‑Corp for your activities

  • Structuring endorsement and sponsorship income in a tax‑aware way

  • Coordinating with agents, business managers, and other advisors

We do not replace legal counsel, but we ensure the tax and accounting implications of your choices are clear before you commit.

Real estate and investment coordination

Many athletes and sports professionals invest in real estate and other assets over time. We help you:

  • Integrate property and investment activity into your overall tax plan

  • Evaluate when Cost Segregation might make sense for investment properties

  • Keep entity structures understandable as your portfolio grows

We do not replace legal counsel, but we ensure tax and accounting implications are clear as you make structure decisions.
