In plain English
For CPAs: We Do the Specialty Work. You Keep the Client.
No CPA can be a specialist in everything, and a good one knows it. JPOPE handles the narrow, engineering-heavy real estate work, cost segregation, fixed asset studies, credits, appeal evidence, and hands it back as finished workpapers for the CPA to review, sign, and present. The client hears the good news from the advisor they already trust. We do not want your client. We want your client to think more of you.
Decision fit
Use this lane when JPOPE should strengthen the existing CPA, broker, attorney, or wealth-advisor relationship with CRE-specific analysis.
JPOPE frames the service around the property decision first, then packages the technical findings for the owner, CPA, advisor, or deal team that needs to act on them. The aim is simple: identify the minimum tax legally owed, preserve every supportable opportunity, and turn the first review into a clear next step before the window closes.
A CPA, broker, attorney, or wealth advisor needs a specialist behind the scenes.
The client conversation would benefit from clear workpapers and presentation-ready notes.
Everyone needs role clarity so the existing advisor relationship remains intact and stronger.
Visual planning lane
The decision path should be clear before the document request starts.
Owners and advisors should be able to see why this lane matters, what facts drive the answer, and how the final output travels back into the CPA or advisor conversation.
Advisor model
Support the primary advisor without disrupting the relationship.
Advisor collaboration turns CRE-specific analysis into clean workpapers, client notes, and role clarity for the existing team. For CPA Collaboration, the practical window is before return filing, transaction close, or client presentation and the expected output is CPA-ready workpapers, summaries, and planning notes.

Advisor-first support
Bring CRE-specific depth to the table while the existing advisor stays central.
