Nik Patel

Nik Patel is a CPA and the Principal of Patel Tax and Advisory (PTA), based in Tampa, Florida. He works with small-business owners, real estate investors, and hospitality businesses to turn complicated tax rules into clear, practical decisions, whether that's structuring an entity, planning around a property purchase, or getting ahead of a filing deadline instead of scrambling to meet one.

Nik's practice covers the full picture: tax planning and preparation, bookkeeping and reconciliations, and the kind of year-round advisory that catches issues before they become problems. He works closely with entrepreneurs and investors who want a CPA who understands their business, not just their tax return, and he's especially attuned to the needs of real estate investors and restaurant and hospitality owners navigating entity structures, K-1s, and multi-partner deals.

Beyond his day-to-day client work, Nik teaches tax courses, so he's used to breaking down dense material into something people can actually use. Clients working with Nik can expect direct communication, proactive planning rather than just reactive filing, and a CPA who treats their business goals as the starting point for tax strategy, not an afterthought.
