Real Estate Is What We Know Best

More than any other industry, real estate is where we’ve built our reputation. For decades, Duffy Kruspodin has been the real estate tax, accounting, and financial advisory partner behind some of the most active and complex real estate operations — helping clients manage transactions, structure portfolios, and plan for long-term value. From developers and fund managers to family offices and high-net-worth investors, we support the people behind the properties — and the portfolios — with services that are structured for the industry.

We understand that real estate isn’t just an asset class — it’s a business model. Our team supports the full lifecycle of real estate activity, aligning tax strategies, structuring decisions, and reporting systems to how deals get done.

We help you think long-term. Our real estate team brings practical insight and opportunities to build structure through our industry-focused accounting practice — and we go further to shape strategies for wealth preservation, gifting, and generational transfers that reflect both financial goals and family priorities.

Key Services for Real Estate Clients Include

From structuring deals to managing operations and preparing for what’s next, we deliver practical solutions across the full lifecycle of a real estate enterprise.
