Accounting for property portfolios 5+ units · 3+ entities

Books your lender accepts first time.

Past four units your lender underwrites the property, not your W-2. We keep the books that decision runs on — entity-level statements, a debt schedule, a reconciled rent roll and DSCR that holds up — for US and Canadian property owners.

Client books kept across three jurisdictions

01 The problem

Most owners aren’t short on data.
They’re short on a file.

The bank feed is connected. The invoices are somewhere. There is a spreadsheet, and a second spreadsheet that corrects the first. What’s missing is the part that turns all of it into a sentence you can act on: what the month actually did, what it costs to hold the current course, and what breaks if the next quarter is slow.

We take the whole function — recording, reconciling, closing, reporting — and hand back the read. Not a data dump at tax time. A monthly package, on a date, in language that survives a board meeting.

02 Services

What we take off your desk.

Take all five, or just the one that’s breaking. Most clients start with the books and add the rest once the numbers are worth trusting.

01

Bookkeeping & transaction management

Clean, consistent, compliant records — kept current, not reconstructed in April.

  • Categorisation and reconciliation of every transaction
  • Bank and credit-card reconciliations
  • Accounts payable and receivable tracking
  • Monthly bookkeeping close process
  • Cloud-based bookkeeping on QuickBooks, Xero or your preferred software

Why it matters: clean books are the precondition for every decision downstream — and for a tax season that doesn’t consume a fortnight.

02

Advisory & strategic support

The thought partner who has already read your numbers before the call starts.

  • Cash-flow forecasting and budgeting
  • Scenario planning and what-if analysis
  • Business performance reviews
  • Cost control and expense optimisation
  • Financial strategy for growth, funding or restructuring

Why it matters: direction and confidence, so the next move is a decision rather than a guess.

03

Financial reporting & insight

Raw ledgers turned into a narrative you can take to a bank, a board or a buyer.

  • Monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements
  • Custom dashboards and KPI tracking
  • Budget-versus-actual variance analysis
  • Profitability and cash-flow reporting
  • Management reporting packages

Why it matters: timely, accurate reporting is how you catch a trend while it’s still cheap to act on.

04

Systems & workflow automation

The right stack, configured once, so the month closes itself a little further each time.

  • Setup and integration of accounting tools
  • Automation for invoicing, payments and expense capture
  • Data migration and system clean-up
  • Training and handover for your internal team

Why it matters: fewer manual touches means fewer errors and real-time numbers instead of month-old ones.

05

Payroll processing & compliance

Everyone paid correctly and on time, with the filings handled behind it.

  • Full-cycle payroll — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly
  • Employee setup and tax withholdings
  • Payroll tax filings and year-end forms (W-2, 1099)
  • Leave tracking and benefits accounting
  • Integration with Gusto, ADP and comparable platforms

Why it matters: payroll is the one process where a small error becomes a personnel problem the same week.

03 How it works

From twelve statements
to one portfolio view.

Discovery call

Thirty minutes on what you’re running, what’s breaking, and what a good month is supposed to look like. You leave with a straight answer on whether we’re a fit — including when we aren’t.

Diagnostic & clean-up

We take the current file apart: reconciliations, chart of accounts, open items, whatever’s been carried forward. You get a written diagnostic and a fixed scope before any recurring work begins.

Monthly rhythm

Books maintained continuously, closed on schedule, and a reporting package with commentary in your inbox. Standing review call at whatever cadence earns its place in your calendar.

04 Who we work with

Built for the size
your portfolio actually is.

One to four units

Books kept current and a monthly snapshot, so the year-end is a formality rather than an event.

Five to twenty units

The financing threshold. Entity-level books, a debt schedule and reporting that supports a refinance or an acquisition.

Twenty units and up

Multi-entity consolidation, lender packages on demand, audit and tax coordination, and a named lead who knows the file without being briefed.

Entity-level statements, debt schedules and reconciled rent rolls for investors past the point where a lender underwrites the property instead of the owner. See the package →
