Real estate bookkeepers have in-depth knowledge of industry-specific real estate bookkeeping practices. They ensure accurate financial records and provide tax preparation support for a hassle-free tax season.

A bookkeeper specializing in construction bookkeeping can ensure proper tracking and categorization of your commissions, advertising costs, mileage expenses, open-house expenses, and other industry-specific transactions. This accurate construction bookkeeping helps you manage your construction business with peace of mind.

Our bookkeeping services typically involve tracking income and expenses, managing accounts payable and receivables, reconciling bank accounts, and maintaining accurate financial records. These services also include property management, construction bookkeeping, tenant billing, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. You can always book a 20-minute free consultation session with one of our best real estate bookkeepers to see how we can help with your real estate bookkeeping needs.

Our goal is to minimize your time commitments for bookkeeping so you can focus on the growth of your real estate business. After the initial consultation, your time spent on bookkeeping will be minimal, and your dedicated real estate bookkeeper will contact you if any additional information is needed.

Real estate bookkeeping services focus on recording daily transactions, while real estate accounting services provide financial analysis, tax preparation, and strategic planning for better financial decisions. Both real estate bookkeeping and real estate accounting services are essential for comprehensive financial management.

Real estate investors face unique tax complexities that general bookkeepers often miss. Our specialized bookkeeping services track property-specific expenses, depreciation schedules, and capital improvements with precision. We implement systems to document 1031 exchanges, passive activity losses, and cost segregation opportunities. Our real estate investment specialists ensure you capitalize on every legitimate deduction including mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, and travel expenses related to your properties. We provide comprehensive reporting that simplifies tax filing while maintaining audit-ready documentation. Most importantly, our quarterly review process identifies tax-saving opportunities throughout the year, not just at tax season.

Construction bookkeeping requires specialized expertise in job costing, progress billing, retention management, and compliance documentation that standard bookkeepers lack. Unlike retail or service businesses, construction companies need systems that track costs and profitability by project rather than overall business performance. Our construction bookkeeping implements accurate WIP (Work in Progress) reporting, certified payroll processing for prevailing wage projects, and proper handling of subcontractor relationships including lien waivers and compliance tracking. We also manage complex equipment depreciation schedules, material inventory systems, and AIA-compatible billing formats required by lenders and project owners. This industry-specific approach provides the financial clarity needed to identify profitable project types and improve estimating accuracy.

Property management companies face strict regulatory requirements for trust accounting that carry significant penalties for non-compliance. Our specialized bookkeeping services implement proper three-way trust account reconciliation (trust bank account, property ledgers, and tenant deposits) with clear audit trails. We establish systems for proper handling of security deposits, tenant payments, and owner distributions while maintaining perfect separation between operating and trust accounts. Our monthly compliance reviews ensure all transactions meet regulatory standards with proper documentation. For property managers handling multiple properties, we create custom reporting systems that track financial performance by property, owner, and portfolio, providing both regulatory compliance and valuable business intelligence.

Today’s real estate and construction businesses need technology solutions that provide real-time financial insights. We implement customized technology stacks tailored to your specific needs, including QuickBooks Online/Desktop (as certified ProAdvisors), Xero accounting, and specialized industry software like Buildium, AppFolio, and Sage 100 Contractor. Our team develops automated workflows for digital receipt management, bank feed synchronization, and paperless document storage with secure client portals. For construction companies, we create custom reporting templates for job costing, equipment tracking, and certified payroll. Real estate professionals benefit from our commission tracking systems, property performance dashboards, and cloud-based investor reporting. All technology solutions include mobile access, allowing you to monitor your financial performance from anywhere.
