Our Founder's Journey Into Self-Storage
Accounting & Tax Advice From a CPA Who Owns and Operates Self-Storage Facilities
Before entering the self-storage industry, Sean M. Hugo, CPA, spent more than 18 years operating his own public accounting practice, with a focus on business consulting and strategic tax planning for business owners. During that time, he helped clients improve cash flow, reduce tax exposure, and make better capital and operating decisions. In parallel, Sean built personal experience as a commercial real-estate investor, owning office and retail properties.
In 2018, Sean acquired his first self-storage property—a 42-unit, 30,000 net rentable square foot indoor boat and RV storage facility. After firsthand success in increasing occupancy, optimizing rental rates, and improving overall profitability.
That operational success led to rapid portfolio growth. In 2019, Sean acquired three additional facilities, adding more than 65,000 net rentable square feet. By August 2020, he expanded further with two more acquisitions totaling over 80,000 net rentable square feet, including an RV park attached to one of the properties.
During the pandemic, as demand for RV and boat storage accelerated, Sean capitalized on market conditions by acquiring two additional boat and RV storage facilities totaling approximately 120,000 net rentable square feet. In 2021, he added another traditional self-storage facility of nearly 34,000 net rentable square feet.
Portfolio expansion continued in 2022 with the acquisition of two more facilities totaling over 130,000 net rentable square feet, along with expansions of existing properties adding approximately 40,000 additional net rentable square feet.
In 2023, Sean acquired a 43,000 net rentable square foot facility in Moore, Oklahoma, strategically located less than one mile from an existing property, and added an additional 10,000 net rentable square feet of enclosed storage to one of his RV and boat facilities.
Today, Sean owns and operates a growing portfolio of self-storage and boat/RV storage facilities, and now limits his CPA practice to providing accounting, tax, and advisory services exclusively to self-storage owners. His advice is grounded in real-world operating experience—not theory. He understands the financial, tax, and operational challenges storage owners face because he navigates them daily himself. That perspective allows him to deliver practical, actionable guidance that improves profitability, supports smarter growth decisions, and helps owners build long-term value in their portfolios.
