RGN Accountancy Group

RGN Accountancy Group is a full-service accounting firm based in West Hollywood that handles far more than standard bookkeeping and payroll. For property owners, they offer a practical, numbers-driven approach to property tax assessment reviews that fits naturally alongside their broader tax planning work. Because they understand how property taxes interact with income tax, depreciation schedules, and entity structuring, they can spot planning opportunities that a standalone appraisal firm might miss entirely. The team works primarily with small business owners, real estate investors, and high-net-worth individuals in the greater Los Angeles area. Many clients hold residential rentals, mixed-use buildings, or commercial properties, and they've come to rely on RGN to flag assessment issues during annual tax prep rather than discovering overpayments years later. The firm's integrated approach means property tax strategy is built into the larger financial picture, not treated as an afterthought.

RGN Accountancy Group approaches property tax work as one piece of a broader tax strategy. For property owners, they start by reviewing annual assessed values against current market data and income performance, identifying situations where a Proposition 8 appeal or base year value challenge could produce a meaningful reduction. Beyond the appeal itself, they advise on how property tax savings affect adjusted gross income, depreciation recapture planning, and overall real estate portfolio returns. For clients who hold property in LLCs or S-corps, they review whether the ownership structure is creating unnecessary reassessment exposure under Proposition 19 transfer rules. RGN also handles the bookkeeping and payroll side, so rental property owners get integrated financials that make it easier to support an income approach valuation if an appeal requires it. Their tax preparation services cover both individual and business returns, and they're equipped to represent clients in IRS and California FTB audits. For new property acquisitions, they advise on purchase structure to preserve any available transfer exclusions before the deal closes.

RGN's property tax review process usually starts during annual tax preparation. As they work through your return, they flag any properties where the assessed value looks out of line with recent sales or actual income performance. If an appeal looks promising, they pull the relevant assessment data, review the property's characteristics on file with the assessor, and determine whether the discrepancy is large enough to justify a formal filing. For clients whose properties have changed hands or been transferred within an LLC, they also check whether the change of ownership was properly reported and whether any available exclusions were applied. From there, they coordinate with a licensed appraiser when a formal valuation report is needed for the Assessment Appeals Board, and they handle the written submission and hearing preparation. Clients stay informed throughout the process without being burdened by the paperwork. Because RGN handles the full tax picture, any reduction in assessed value flows directly into updated projections for property tax expense and net return.

RGN Accountancy Group serves clients throughout the Los Angeles metro area, with a concentration in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Silver Lake, Echo Park, and the Wilshire corridor. They also work with clients in the San Fernando Valley and South Bay who need integrated property tax and accounting services. Remote consultations are available for clients outside the immediate area, and the firm regularly handles property tax matters for out-of-state owners with California real estate holdings.
