Bookkeeping for Landlords, Investors and Short-Term Rental Owners
None of that is unusual, and none of it is a reason to be embarrassed about the state of your QuickBooks. It is the normal condition of books kept by someone whose actual job is buying and running property.
Two ways this usually starts
You’re behind. Months, or a year, or “I stopped looking after the second property.” We rebuild from whatever date you name — every account reviewed, categorized and reconciled, prior errors corrected, personal transactions separated out, and the file handed to your tax accountant in a state they can actually work from. Priced as a fixed project, not by the hour.
You want it off your plate. Monthly bookkeeping that stays current — categorized, reconciled, and reviewed by a person who knows which property is which. Flat monthly fee.
Most people start with the first and move to the second.
What Monthly Actually Includes
Per-property and per-unit tracking – So you can see which door earns and which one leaks, rather than one lump figure for the portfolio.
Platform income recorded gross – Airbnb and Vrbo pay out net of their fees. We record the gross booking as income and the fees as fees, so your revenue is real and your deductions are complete.
Multi-entity handled properly – Common with property. Each entity gets its own clean file, and money moving between them is recorded as what it is rather than guessed at.
Monthly P&L and balance sheet – Reports you can actually read, on a schedule you can rely on.
Books your CPA can file from – Without a cleanup first.
The messy parts people ask about
PayPal, Venmo and Zelle. Normal, and usually where the messiest history lives. They get reviewed and categorized like any other account.
Personal spending in the business file. Nearly every set of books we inherit has some. We separate it cleanly, without you going back through a year of statements yourself.
A property management platform. AppFolio, Buildium, Rent Manager. These hold money on your behalf and report in their own shape, so the books have to be reconciled against owner statements rather than just the bank. It is routine work but it is not optional, and it is where a lot of inherited files turn out to be wrong. More on that in AppFolio bookkeeping.
Pricing
Flat monthly fees, and catch-up work quoted as a fixed project price before we start — not open-ended hourly billing. What a cleanup costs depends on how many months are being rebuilt and how many transactions are in them. Send us read-only access and we will come back with a real number.
Who this is not for
If you need someone to file your return, that is your CPA, and they will do it cheaper than we will. We keep the books so that when your CPA opens the file, the work is already done.
