Frequently Asked

Questions about monthly bookkeeping

Why do landlords need professional monthly bookkeeping? +

Standardizing your rental property financials every month ensures you have a clear, real-time picture of your cash flow and property performance. It prevents the stressful tax season scramble and ensures you never miss a deductible expense.

How do you handle property management statements? +

We review your property manager statements and reconcile them against your bank deposits. We ensure management fees, repairs, and owner draws are categorized correctly so your books match your actual bank activity.

Is this service compatible with QuickBooks Online and Stessa? +

Yes, we are experts in both platforms, and many more. We can help you maintain robust accounting controls in QuickBooks Online or leverage the real estate-specific tracking features within Stessa.

How do you help with tax preparation? +

While we are not CPAs, our job is to make your CPA’s life easy. We provide a year-end “Clean Books” package that includes your reconciled P&L and Balance Sheet. This often results in lower tax preparation fees because your accountant doesn’t have to fix mistakes or guess at categories.

What if I have several years of messy books? +

You aren’t alone. Many landlords come to us with several months or even years of backlog. We recommend starting with our Catch-Up & Cleanup service. Once we get your historical data standardized and accurate, we transition you into our monthly maintenance plan.

Do I need a separate bank account for my rental properties? +

Yes, we strongly recommend it. Having a dedicated account prevents the commingling of personal and business funds, which is a major red flag for the IRS. It also makes the bookkeeping process much more efficient, as every transaction in that account is a clear business income or expense.

How do you handle security deposits? +

Security deposits are not income. They are liabilities. We track these on your Balance Sheet to ensure they aren’t accidentally spent or categorized as revenue. This keeps you compliant with local laws and ensures the funds are ready to be returned or applied to damages when a tenant moves out.

How do I get started? +

Schedule a free consultation call so we can discuss your specific portfolio and needs. From there, we will perform a brief review of your current books and provide a custom proposal tailored to the number of properties and bank accounts you manage.
