The Specific Challenges We Solve

Owner Trust Account and Distributions

Rent collected on behalf of property owners must be held in trust — kept separate from your operating funds. Commingling is a serious legal risk. We maintain proper trust accounting procedures and ensure monthly owner distributions are documented correctly.

📄

Management Fee Revenue Recognition

Management fees are earned income; the float on rent held in trust is not. We track revenue correctly and ensure your P&L reflects what you've actually earned — not the gross rents flowing through your accounts.

📈

Maintenance Reserve Tracking

Many property management agreements include maintenance reserves held for client properties. We track each reserve balance separately so client funds are always accounted for and you can produce accurate owner statements on demand.
