You run your properties. I will take care of the numbers.
I am a Chartered Accountant (India), equivalent to a US CPA, with 5+ years of experience in U.S. real estate and e-commerce accounting.
Most real estate investors get a report at month end, glance at it, and move on, never really understanding which property is actually profitable, where their cash is leaking, or why their bank balance never matches what the P&L says they made. That stops here.
I do not just do your bookkeeping. I tell you the story behind your numbers.
With 5+ years of real estate accounting experience, 25+ active real estate clients, and a Chartered Accountant qualification from India, I work exclusively with landlords, flippers, short-term rental operators, syndicators, and property managers. I use QuickBooks Online, Xero, AppFolio, Buildium, Stessa, Baselane, and DoorLoop. I understand every layer: rent rolls, security deposit liability, CAM reconciliations, owner draws, mortgage principal vs interest splits, escrow accounts, depreciation, 1031 exchanges, cost segregation entries, and partner capital accounts.
Every Financial Statement is an Untold Story
Each month I read your numbers like a CFO would. Which units are dragging down your portfolio yield? Are R&M costs creeping up on one property while the others look healthy? Is your DSCR slipping? Did turnover costs eat your projected returns on the last vacancy? Your books should answer these questions, property by property, and mine do.
Monthly Close Process
A disciplined two-phase close so you are never guessing:
By the 7th: Soft close. All transactions categorized by property and class, rent receipts matched, mortgage payments split between principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. Open queries flagged to you for clarification.
By the 15th: Hard close. Full reconciliation across operating, security deposit, and reserve accounts. Property-level P&Ls and consolidated portfolio statements finalized. I walk you through what moved, what impacted NOI, and what needs your attention.
Setup, Automation and Reconciliation
If your books are a mess or you are starting fresh, I set everything up properly:
Chart of accounts structured for real estate, mapped to Schedule E or 8825 categories so tax time is effortless
Property-level class tracking so every transaction rolls up to the right unit and entity, even across multiple LLCs
Property management software integration with AppFolio, Buildium, Stessa, Baselane, or DoorLoop for automated rent roll sync and trust account separation
Mortgage amortization schedules built and maintained so principal, interest, escrow, and PMI are split correctly every month
Security deposit liability tracked separately by tenant and reconciled to the trust account
AP automation using Bill for vendor payments and 1099 tracking ready for year end
Receipt capture using Hubdoc or Dext, audit-ready and tied to the right property
Bank, credit card, and merchant feeds reconciled monthly with intercompany transfers cleanly mapped
Depreciation schedules with land and improvement splits, with cost segregation results integrated when applicable
Federal and State Tax Returns
I handle full US federal compliance for real estate investors: Form 1040 with Schedule E, Form 1065 with Form 8825, Form 1120-S, and Form 5472 for foreign-owned LLCs holding US real estate. Filed through a licensed CPA firm I work with that holds the PTIN, so returns are filed professionally with the IRS. I work with cost segregation specialists to capture accelerated depreciation, prepare Form 3115 for §481(a) adjustments, and handle HARPTA and FIRPTA filings for non-resident property sales.
I also cover state income tax, franchise tax, and annual report compliance across every state where your properties and entities sit, keeping each LLC in good standing as your portfolio scales.
I am proficient with QuickBooks Online, Xero, AppFolio, Buildium, Stessa, Baselane, DoorLoop, Bill, Hubdoc, Dext, ProConnect Tax, Lacerte, Drake Tax, and CCH ProSystem fx.
What You Get Working With Me
An accountant who shows up every month, closes on a fixed schedule, gives you property-level clarity, explains your numbers in plain language, and flags problems before they get expensive. Not a report dropped in your inbox with no context.
If your books are unreconciled, your rent roll does not tie to the bank, your mortgage payments are sitting in one lump category, or you do not know which property is actually making money, let us fix that.
