Offshore bookkeepers who already know real estate books
Staff who already know real estate books — for the real estate clients on your roster.
Real estate clients carry a license risk that generalist bookkeepers don't see coming. Security deposits and owner funds are trust money — commingling them is a state-board issue for the client and a liability for the firm that staffed the bookkeeper. Tenant ledgers have to tie to deposits, property-level P&L has to exist per door, and 1099s for contractors have to be tracked all year. We staff dedicated offshore bookkeepers who already know real estate books, so your real estate clients get trust accounts that reconcile to the penny and you stop carrying the commingling risk.
Trust accounting is where real estate bookkeeping lives or dies
Security deposits and owner funds are trust money. Commingling them with operating funds is the single most common real estate bookkeeping mistake — and it's the one that can trigger a state board review for your client. Our real estate bookkeepers set up and maintain separate trust accounts, reconcile them monthly, and keep an audit trail that holds up in a state board review. This is the first thing we screen for on a real estate placement.
Property-level reporting, per door
A real estate client with 5 doors or 500 needs a P&L per property, not one blended general ledger. Our bookkeepers set up class and location tracking in QuickBooks or Xero so every property reports independently, every tenant ledger reconciles to the bank, and your client can see which doors are actually performing.
1099s for contractors, tracked all year
Real estate runs on 1099-eligible contractors — landscapers, handymen, property vendors. Our bookkeepers collect W-9s at vendor onboarding, track payments all year, and produce the 1099 file at year-end. No January scramble, no missed forms, no client calling you in February asking why a 1099 is wrong.
Works under your brand
The bookkeeper can operate from your firm's email domain, inside your client portal, under your NDA — so your real estate clients believe they're talking to your team, not a sub-contractor. See how white-label bookkeeping works →

Trust accounts that reconcile to the penny, every month
A property management company managing 220 doors had trust account balances that never reconciled and tenant ledgers that didn't tie to deposits. A dedicated offshore bookkeeper with real estate experience fixed both and kept them fixed.
