Built on trust. Driven by results. Here every step of the way
Knit CPAs was built to give real estate professionals and investors a better accounting experience — one that’s proactive, personal, and actually makes a difference in your financial life.
Meet Cody Goldsworthy, CPA
Built by a real estate investor, for real estate professionals
I started Knit CPAs shortly after graduating college. I hold an undergraduate degree in finance and a master’s degree in accounting, earned my CPA license, and began my career at a large regional CPA firm before moving into private industry as a general ledger accountant. That mix of experience taught me how to manage and build relationships with clients, while also giving me a deep understanding of the back-end accounting that keeps a business running.
I started investing in real estate immediately after college. I house-hacked my first property in Berkley and have grown my portfolio across Michigan and into Florida. So when a client asks me about the tax implications of a deal they’re looking at, or which market makes more sense financially, I’m not just answering as their CPA. I’m answering as someone who has sat in the same seat they’re in.
What drives me every day is simple. My family, my clients, and the impact this work has on people’s lives. I’m married with a baby on the way, and that keeps me grounded in what actually matters. The same care I put into building a future for my family is the care I bring to every client relationship.
How I approach every client relationship
My approach starts with trust. Before anything else I want my clients to feel confident that I am a good steward of their information, their finances, and their goals. Once that trust is established my team and I get to work delivering on every promise we made. Clean books, proactive planning, year-round communication, and strategies that actually move the needle.
But the work doesn’t stop there. Every year I make sure our clients are reminded of the value we deliver. Not because I need to justify the relationship, but because I believe people should always feel great about where they’re spending their money. That’s why at the end of every tax season every client receives a personal video walkthrough of their return, showing exactly what we did and what it saved them. Line by line. Year after year.
Our tax planning clients tend to stay with us for the long haul. That’s not a coincidence. It’s because we build relationships on trust, deliver on our promises, and make sure the value is always visible.

Why we built Knit CPAs differently
Most accounting firms are built around compliance. File the return, send the bill, see you next April. We built Knit CPAs around something different. We believe a great CPA should be one of the most valuable relationships in your professional life.
That means showing up proactively. It means speaking in plain English. It means being the person our clients can turn to when they’re making a big decision and need someone who understands both the numbers and the real estate world behind them.
Most of all, it means building a firm where every client feels like they have a trusted partner in their corner, not just a vendor they hear from once a year.
That’s what Knit CPAs is built to be. And that’s the standard we hold ourselves to every single day.
