Benjamin Hulet founded Hulet CPA & Associates in 2009. He holds both a Master’s in accounting and a CPA license, and runs the firm from an office on North 1680 East in St. George’s Foremaster Drive corridor — the same professional cluster that hosts OnPoint Insurance and several other independent firms.
Mid-life CPA firm in a stable groove
Fifteen-plus years puts Hulet’s practice in a stable mid-life phase. Long enough to have built a real client book and a track record on retention; recent enough that the firm uses modern accounting and practice-management technology rather than the legacy software older Southern Utah firms are sometimes still running on. The single-location, single-principal scale is what most of the segment looks like at this tenure.
Real-estate-focused accounting
The firm’s stated specialty in real-estate tax and accounting maps cleanly to what Southern Utah’s economy actually generates. The market here is dominated by residential investment, second-home ownership, small-investor portfolios with three or four rental properties, and the steady volume of 1031 exchanges, syndication participation, and individual-investor returns that attend that pattern. A CPA who has explicitly oriented their book around real-estate clients accumulates the pattern recognition that generalist preparers miss — passive-activity-loss rules, cost-segregation studies, capital-improvement vs. repair distinctions, and the entity-structure questions that show up when a small investor’s portfolio outgrows their LLC.
Disclosure
Web presence is strong, the founding year is published, the owner is publicly named with credentials, and UACPA verification is straightforward. The Foremaster corridor address is consistent across the firm’s site and external directories.
Where this fits
A solo-principal CPA firm with explicit real-estate-investment specialization is a useful slot in the file, particularly for the small-investor real estate population that drives a meaningful share of Southern Utah’s accounting demand and is otherwise served generically.
