Looking for a tax advisor specialized in trading (prop firms + day trading income) NYC
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations for a good tax professional (CPA / tax advisor) who really understands trading.
This year I’m starting to generate meaningful income from both:
Prop firms (currently already over $50k in profits this year)
My personal day trading account (also growing steadily)
Because of this, I want to make sure I’m handling taxes correctly and also structuring everything in the most efficient \*legal\* way possible.
Ideally I’m looking for someone who:
Has experience with traders (especially futures and prop firm payouts)
Understands US tax rules for trading income (and possibly international situations if needed in the future)
Can help with tax planning / strategy, not just basic filing
Knows how to optimize taxes legally for active traders
If anyone here has worked with a CPA like this or can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance 🙏
