What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? Not for Louis Loparo! His trip to AICPA is one worth retelling. Leaders from across the accounting profession came together to discuss the future of the field, with AI's impact and emerging tech as a major theme.
Louis came back energized about the opportunities ahead as Hobe & Lucas continues investing in technology, innovation, and practical solutions for our clients.
Of course, Vegas wasn't all business! He and his wife, Christina, saw the band No Doubt at the Sphere. An amazing experience for them both.
Overall, Louis had a great time and can't wait to see what's in store for next year!

Are you thinking about selling your commercial or investment real estate? If the property has appreciated significantly, a Sec. 1031 like-kind exchange may allow you to defer tax on some or all of the gain. With this transaction, you exchange the property for another qualifying property, generally deferring tax until the replacement property is sold.

But common misconceptions about Sec. 1031 exchanges can lead to missed opportunities or costly mistakes. For example, the property types don’t have to be identical, and receiving cash or debt relief (“boot”) may trigger taxable gain.

We can help demystify this tax strategy and determine whether it’s right for your situation. Contact us to learn more.

Self-employed individuals often miss legitimate tax savings because they fail to keep adequate records or misunderstand the rules. Don’t let this happen to you.

Follow this golden rule: Business expenses must be ordinary (common in your industry) and necessary (helpful and appropriate for the business). Of course, you can deduct supplies, materials, and employee payroll and benefits. But don’t overlook other deductible costs — such as for your home office, education, business meals and travel, and business vehicles.

We can help you identify qualifying business expense deductions and establish recordkeeping practices that support them. Contact us to learn more.
