Every Plan Here Carries Sherry's Standards
Sherry Aland is a CPA in Edmond, OK, who also holds an MBA and the Main Street Certified Tax Advisor designation, and every advisor working in this practice is trained and supervised by her directly. She built the firm alongside two decades of full-time work inside real estate accounting operations, taking it full time in January 2024 after years of serving clients on the side.
How an Engagement Starts, and What It Becomes
You See a Number Before You Spend a Dollar
Most firms in this vertical put a paid consultation between you and any useful information. We put a free estimate there instead, then move at whatever pace the estimate justifies.
The Discovery Call
A 15–20-minute call to understand your situation and goals. We'll tell you directly if we're the right fit — and if so, what the path forward looks like
The Advisory Call
If the estimate is worth a conversation, we walk through what is driving it, which strategies realistically apply to your situation, and what documentation each one requires.
The Monthly Engagement
Ongoing clients get tax work, bookkeeping, and recurring planning meetings under one monthly relationship, so decisions get made while the year is still open.
Two Decades of Real Estate Books Behind Every Plan
Sherry Aland, CPA, MBA, MSCTA
Sherry spent ten years as controller for a real estate group, where the work was rent rolls, capital improvements, depreciation schedules, partner distributions, and month-end close on portfolios that kept growing. She built out the accounting department of a property management company as it expanded from 21 to 90 apartment complexes, and she handled the books for a working ranch and western events center. Clients were already coming to her for tax work through those years, which is how the practice existed long before it had a full-time sign on it. That real estate controller experience is why she does not need a client to explain how a flip is financed, why a K-1 looks the way it does, or what a management fee between related entities is actually paying for. She currently serves as the go-to tax strategist for Black Label Realty.
The credential set is short and checkable: a CPA license issued by the Oklahoma Accountancy Board, an MBA, and the Main Street Certified Tax Advisor designation. MSCTA is the certification granted through Mark Kohler's program, which requires coursework across more than 70 tax strategy topics and testing on over 800 tax principles before the designation is issued. Certified advisors are published in the national Tax Advisor Network directory, so the listing is one anyone can search independently. Those are the Oklahoma tax advisor credentials behind every plan that leaves this office.
The practice is deliberately small. Sherry Aland PC is a boutique CPA firm in Edmond built around a limited number of monthly advisory relationships rather than high-volume seasonal filing, which is the reason planning work does not get handed down a queue. As the firm adds advisors, the training, review, and planning standards stay Sherry's, so a question you send in July about placing a property in a new entity before closing gets answered to the same standard as the return filed in March.
Sherry also publishes tax strategy content on our YouTube channel, launched in January 2026. The videos work through the mechanics of cost segregation, short-term rental treatment, real estate professional status, and entity elections in plain terms, with the qualification rules and the documentation requirements included rather than skipped.
Your Tax Return Should Be a Receipt, Not a Surprise

The Owners and Earners We Build Plans For
Edmond, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and the Rest of Oklahoma
Our home office is in Edmond, we work with owners throughout Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and we serve clients statewide as an Oklahoma CPA for investors. Clients in other states are handled virtually through our secure portal on the same monthly cadence.
Buy-and-Hold Landlords
Long-term rental owners carry the most unclaimed depreciation of any group we work with, usually because no one ever ran the numbers on a cost segregation study or reviewed how the properties were titled. We look at basis, holding structure, and passive loss treatment together rather than one property at a time.
Short-Term Rental Owners
Short-term rentals sit under a different set of rules than long-term holds, and the material participation tests are where most owners either qualify or quietly fail without knowing it. We document participation as the year happens, which is the only version of that record the IRS accepts.
Flippers and Small Multifamily Owners
Flips generate ordinary income and self-employment exposure that surprises people the first time it lands, and multifamily brings a different mix of entity, financing, and depreciation questions. Both need the entity conversation before the next acquisition, not after.
Agents, Brokers, and Commission Earners
Agents and brokers run real businesses with irregular income, and an S corporation election, a defensible reasonable salary, and a retirement structure change what a good year costs in tax. We handle the setup and the ongoing compliance that keeps it clean.
High-Income W-2 Earners
Physicians, executives, and other high earners come to us to route income into real estate deliberately instead of watching withholding do all the work. Real estate professional status, spousal qualification, and short-term rental treatment are the three levers we look at first.
Business Owners Who Need the Whole Back Office
Some clients arrive with messy books, an entity that no longer fits, and no financial reporting to make decisions from. Bookkeeping, fractional CFO services, and entity cleanup can be handled inside the same monthly engagement as the tax work.
