WHO WE SERVE
Sports & Athletics
Tax and accounting for people whose careers move as fast as their schedules. CalCPAGroup works with athletes, coaches, trainers, and sports professionals across the Greater Los Angeles area to keep income, endorsements, and entities organized and aligned with long‑term goals.
Start Intake
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.
How we support real estate clients
Tax preparation and multi‑state filings
We handle returns for:
Individuals with income from multiple teams, leagues, or endorsement deals
Entities used for personal services, endorsements, or business ventures
We focus on getting the state footprint right, coordinating income across jurisdictions, and planning for estimated payments so surprises are minimized.
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.

Ongoing Support
We stay involved as your situation changes—team moves, new deals, injuries, or retirement planning—so your tax strategy can adapt.
Want a CPA who can keep up with your career moves—not just your W‑2s?
Start Intake
Do you only work with athletes in Los Angeles?
Our primary focus is the Greater Los Angeles area, but many of our clients have income from other states and countries. Intake helps us confirm your filing footprint and fit.
Can you work with my agent or business manager?
Yes. We often coordinate with agents, business managers, and financial advisors so everyone is working from the same tax picture.
How do you handle income from bonuses and incentives?
We incorporate bonuses, incentive payments, and appearance fees into your estimated tax planning so you are not surprised at filing time.
What if my income changes a lot from year to year?
We expect volatility in sports and build plans around it, with periodic check‑ins to adjust estimates and strategy as your situation evolves.
