Dan Mullen has been a CPA since 2015 and specializes in tax strategy for small businesses as well as real estate agents and investors. In 2025 he joined GTG Tax Planning, a tax advisory and consulting firm, as a partner. He is the co-author of two best-selling books, Real Decisions: The Financial Impact of Renting and Owning and Reverse Mortgages: The Financial Ugly Duckling. In order to understand his investor clients better, he picked up a mortgage license in early 2022. The unique combination of being a CPA with a mortgage license enables him to use tax returns to help his self-employed clients legally look "poor" to the IRS and rich to a bank. He frequently teaches continuing education classes at local and regional boards and brokerages near Salt Lake City for Realtors, Financial Advisors, and CPAs. To date he has taught well over 100 courses. Ask me a tax question!
