Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you typically work with?
We specialize in real estate and construction-related businesses, including brokers, agents, investors, lessors, builders, contractors, architects, engineers, and equipment-based businesses. If your business involves projects, properties, assets, or multiple entities, we're likely a fit.
Do you work with clients outside real estate and construction?
Our primary focus is the real estate and construction ecosystem. While we occasionally work outside that niche, our best results come from clients whose businesses align with our expertise.
Do you only provide tax services?
No. Tax is just one part of what we do. We provide integrated accounting, tax, advisory, and assurance services so clients have clean financials, proactive planning, and clear decision support—not siloed work.
What makes Dohan CPA different from other CPA firms?
Most firms focus on compliance and deadlines. We focus on clarity, discipline, and outcomes. Clean books come first, tax planning is proactive, advisory is practical, and leadership is directly involved.
Do you work with small businesses or only large companies?
We work with owner-led businesses and growing companies. Complexity matters more than size. Multi-entity structures, projects, assets, and cash-flow timing are usually the deciding factors.
Do you offer bookkeeping services?
Yes. We provide full accounting and bookkeeping services including QuickBooks or Xero, payroll, bill pay, and disciplined month-end closes. Clean books are the foundation for everything else we do.
Can you clean up messy or overdue books?
Yes. We regularly help clients with cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping. Once things are stabilized, we implement a monthly close process to prevent the problem from recurring.
Do you do tax planning or just prepare returns?
We do both—but planning comes first. Our tax work is proactive and coordinated with accounting and advisory so there are fewer surprises and better cash-flow decisions.
Will I work directly with senior professionals?
Yes. Each service area is led by a senior professional. Clients are not handed off without oversight, and leadership is directly accountable for quality and execution.
What accounting software do you use?
We primarily work in QuickBooks Online and Xero, along with supporting payroll and bill-pay platforms. We help ensure systems are set up and used correctly.
