Matt and his team are very professional and extremely knowledgeable about real estate tax. I love Matt’s office hour phone call twice a month where you can hop on a Zoom call with other clients and ask any tax questions. It’s a great value-added feature of working with Truebooks.

FAQs About Our Las Vegas CPA Services
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our team, our proactive year-round advisory process, and how we leverage Nevada’s unique tax environment.
Do you only serve clients located in the Las Vegas valley?
While our physical roots and headquarters are in Las Vegas, Nevada, we serve business owners, real estate investors, and high earners nationwide. We utilize highly secure, modern client portals, video consultations, and digital signing tools to manage complex federal and multi-state tax structures seamlessly from anywhere.
How is TrueBooks CPA different from a traditional Las Vegas accounting firm?
Most local firms are purely compliance-focused—they take your numbers once a year, look backward, and file your tax returns. TrueBooks is a modern, advisory-first firm. We partner with you year-round to build, implement, and monitor tax-saving strategies before your financial year ends, turning tax planning into a proactive tool.
What does the onboarding and year-round advisory process look like?
Our process begins with an in-depth Tax Discovery session where we analyze your past 2 years of returns and identify immediate wealth leakages. Throughout the year, we host quarterly strategy reviews to adjust your entity structures, bookkeeping, and write-offs in real time.
Who on the TrueBooks team handles my strategy, and how do we communicate?
You aren’t handed off to junior data-entry staff. TrueBooks was built by Matt Bontrager to offer boutique-level care. You work directly with senior advisors who understand your business niche. We have a strict communication guarantee: a dedicated portal for your files, regular touchpoints, and a committed 24-to-48 business hour reply window for any questions.
Who is tax planning a good fit for?
Tax planning is best suited for individuals and business owners whose financial situation
is evolving. If you have growing income, multiple entities, real estate investments, or feel
unsure whether you’re optimizing your tax strategy, planning provides structure, clarity, and
proactive guidance throughout the year.
Is this only for real estate investors?
While many of our clients invest in real estate, our planning services are designed for a wide
range of situations. We regularly work with business owners, freelancers, professionals, and
investors who want coordinated planning across personal income, business activity,
and investments.
How is planning different from tax preparation?
Tax preparation focuses on reporting what already happened. Planning focuses on planning
ahead. With planning, your advisor works with you throughout the year to:
- Identify opportunities before decisions are made
- Adjust strategies as income or investments change
- Reduce surprises at tax time
Tax preparation is about compliance. Planning is about strategy.
Will I have a dedicated advisor?
Yes. You’ll be assigned a dedicated Tax Advisor who leads your planning, understands your
situation, and remains your primary point of contact throughout your engagement.
If you use multiple services, your Advisor will help coordinate communication.
What does communication look like during the year?
You’ll have scheduled planning calls at key points during the year along with ongoing email
access to your advisor for tax planning questions. Our goal is to stay proactive, responsive,
and aligned; not reactive or transactional.
What happens during the first few months?
The first phase of planning focuses on:
- Organizing your information
- Establishing a baseline tax picture
- Identifying planning opportunities
- Building a clear action plan
This ensures recommendations are grounded in accurate data and tailored to your
specific situation.
Can you review prior tax returns?
Yes. As part of the planning process, your advisor will review prior-year returns (when
available) to identify potential issues, missed opportunities, or items that should be
addressed moving forward.
Does planning include tax preparation?
Planning and tax preparation are separate services.
Planning focuses on strategy, planning, and optimization. Tax preparation focuses on filing
accurate and compliant returns. Clients engaged in planning are offered tax preparation
services, but each service is scoped independently.
What if my situation changes during the year?
That’s exactly what planning is designed for. Changes in income, investments, business activity, or life events are reviewed and incorporated into your tax plan so strategies remain aligned and effective.
How does renewal work after the first year?
Near the end of your engagement, your advisor will review the year’s progress, results, and remaining opportunities. Together, you’ll determine the scope and goals for the upcoming year and whether continuing planning makes sense.
Most clients choose to renew to maintain momentum and proactive planning.
What if I decide planning isn’t right for me?
We want clients to feel confident in their decision. If early in the engagement you determine planning isn’t the right fit, we’ll discuss next steps transparently and fairly based on work already completed.
Why do clients choose TrueBooks over a traditional CPA?
Clients choose TrueBooks because we offer:
- Proactive, year-round planning
- Clear and direct guidance
- Real estate and business expertise
- A responsive, relationship-driven approach
- Advisors who take the time to educate, not just file
How does TrueBooks help Las Vegas business owners leverage Nevada’s tax environment?
While Nevada is famous for having no state personal or corporate income tax, local business owners still face unique hurdles like the Nevada Commerce Tax, Modified Business Tax (MBT), and local licensing regulations. We align your federal tax strategy with Nevada’s structure, ensuring your S-Corp or LLC maximizes local advantages while avoiding common multi-state tax traps.
