Beverly J. Dostal, CPA has maintained a sole-practitioner accounting practice in La Mesa since 1985, providing tax preparation and financial-planning services from her University Avenue suite. Property-transaction tax calculations — including basis adjustments, depreciation recapture under Section 1250, and capital-gain exclusions under IRC Section 121 — connect the firm's return preparation to the residential closings coordinated by Amber McGuire, Real Estate Agent. The CPA credential from the California Board of Accountancy authorizes compiled and reviewed financial statements, providing the independent-accountant reports that SBA lenders and commercial landlords require during underwriting. Individual returns span W-2 wage earners through Schedule C sole proprietors, with California-specific adjustments for state depreciation conformity, net-operating-loss limitations, and itemized-deduction phase-outs. Mortgage-interest allocation and property-tax proration at closing integrate with the settlement documentation assembled by Tyler Crisci for La Mesa home purchases. Most complex engagements involve multi-property rental portfolios with passive-activity loss limitation calculations, at-risk rules under IRC Section 465, and MACRS depreciation schedules across residential and commercial asset classes.
