I specialize in bookkeeping for real estate businesses — from single landlords and property managers to real estate agents and investment companies. I know how messy the financials can get in this industry: rental income tracked across multiple units, owner draws, security deposits, repairs and maintenance, mortgage splits, and commissions all hitting the books at once. That's the kind of thing I untangle. I handle bank reconciliations, categorize transactions, track income and expenses by property, clean up messy books, and prepare clear monthly financial reports so you know where your money is going. I work in QuickBooks Online and can adapt to your existing setup or help you build one from scratch. What you can expect from me: ✅ Accurate, organized books every month ✅ Clear communication (no accounting jargon) ✅ Timely reports you can count on ✅ Someone who understands real estate, not just spreadsheets Other Services: 1. E-com Bookkeeping 2. Service Based Bookkeeping (Cleaning, Consulting, Gym/Fitness, Digital Marketing, etc.) 3. Construction Bookkeeping 4. Australian Bookkeeping Whether you're behind on your books, switching from another bookkeeper, or just getting started. I'm happy to talk through what you need.

Are you tired of messy books, unreconciled accounts, delayed reports, or missing transactions in your property management system? Do you spend hours trying to fix errors in AppFolio, Buildium, or QuickBooks when you should be focusing on growing your real estate portfolio? You’re not alone. Many property management businesses face the same problems: I’m Adell Ahmed, a Property Accounting Professional with over 6 years of experience working with U.S.-based property management companies. I specialize in AppFolio, Buildium, and QuickBooks Online (QBO) to deliver clean books, clear financial reports, and smooth daily accounting operations. I help property managers and investors eliminate accounting errors, close books on time, and build reliable financial systems. My work goes far beyond data entry — I manage full-cycle bookkeeping with a deep understanding of property management workflows. 🏢 Why Property Management Accounting Matters Property management accounting isn’t like regular bookkeeping. It involves trust accounts, tenant ledgers, owner statements, security deposits, rent postings, maintenance costs, and vendor bills. Every transaction must be posted to the correct property, GL account, and trust account. Tools like AppFolio, Buildium, and QuickBooks make this possible, but only when managed properly. I bring structure, accuracy, and control to your accounting so you don’t waste time fixing errors. 📊 What I Handle ►Full AppFolio bookkeeping, from rent posting to monthly financials ►Property, tenant, and owner setup and data cleanup ►Rent collections, deposits, refunds, and owner distributions ►Vendor bill review, expense coding, and payment tracking ►Daily transaction entry and monthly bank/credit card reconciliations ►Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable management ►Trust account and security deposit tracking ►Monthly financial statement preparation and review ►Audit support and year-end reporting ►Coordination with managers, vendors, and tenants to fix discrepancies fast I track, match, and document every transaction, ensuring AppFolio, Buildium, and QuickBooks reflect the real financial position of your portfolio. 🧮 Strong Command of AppFolio, Buildium & QuickBooks: ●Navigate AppFolio for rent postings, trust accounting, and reporting. ●Use Buildium for vendor bills, bank reconciliations, and statements. ●Manage QuickBooks Online for financial reports and system integration. ●Align property management systems with accounting software for accuracy. ●Handle multi-property and multi-bank setups smoothly. Many companies use AppFolio or Buildium for daily operations but rely on QuickBooks for higher-level reporting. I keep both systems fully aligned. 🧾 My Focus ▪Clean data entry and consistent coding ▪Timely reconciliations and monthly closings ▪Transparent reporting for owners and management ▪Clear communication on pending items ▪Fast resolution of mismatches or posting errors ▪Audit-ready records at all times 📅 My Daily Workflow Morning: Review transactions in AppFolio or Buildium. Midday: Code vendor bills, follow up on AR/AP, update ledgers. Afternoon: Reconcile transactions in QuickBooks, AppFolio, or Buildium. Evening: Review financials, fix errors, and send client updates. This process keeps your books accurate daily—not just at month-end. 🧠 Why Clients Choose Me ✅ 6+ years of property management accounting experience 🧾 Expert in AppFolio, Buildium, and QuickBooks Online 🏢 Multi-state property experience (residential & commercial) 📊 Fast, accurate AR/AP and reconciliation work 🤝 Reliable communication and daily updates ⏰ Aligned with U.S. time zones 🧰 Additional Skills Multi-year reconciliation and catch-up Owner statement and tenant ledger review 1099 preparation and year-end reporting Budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis System migration and financial cleanup Excel reporting and process optimization 🌎 Remote but Fully Connected I work from Pakistan and support U.S. property management teams daily. I use a U.S.-based VPN, giving secure access to AppFolio, Buildium, and QuickBooks Online. I adjust my hours to match your time zone and join weekly or monthly calls when needed. 🚀 Let’s Simplify Your Property Accounting You should focus on managing properties — not chasing missing transactions or fixing messy reconciliations.
