Real Estate & Property Accounting

Property-level accounting for owners, operators, and funds.

Overview

What we deliver

We run accounting for landlords, syndicators, and property managers with entity, property, and unit-level reporting and lender-ready packages.

We provide property accounting for residential and commercial real estate owners, syndicators, REITs, and property management firms. Our team books rents, recoveries, CAM, expense reimbursements, and other income on the accrual basis under US GAAP, IFRS, or UK FRS 102, depending on your reporting needs. We post mortgages, escrow activity, capital improvements, depreciation, and partner distributions, then reconcile bank, trust, and security deposit accounts each month. Reporting runs at the property, entity, and portfolio level, with rent rolls tied to the general ledger, capital account roll-forwards, and budget-versus-actual views for asset managers. We also prepare schedules used by lenders for covenant testing, by the IRS, HMRC, CRA, or ATO for tax filings, and by auditors during fund audits. Owners get clean numbers they can act on and investors get statements they can rely on.

Client stories

What clients say

"

Holiday season was about to break us. We needed 22 agents in six weeks and our internal hiring pipeline could not move that fast. They staffed it, trained on our tone guide, and ran nesting alongside our senior reps. CSAT actually went up by three points during peak. First Q4 in four years my support lead took her vacation.

Our old site was a Frankenstein of three previous agencies. We gave them a hard launch date tied to a trade show and they actually hit it. 47 templates, full product catalog migration, no broken redirects on go-live day. Our previous vendor missed the same deadline twice. This time my phone stayed quiet on launch morning.
