K-1 reporting, multi-entity bookkeeping, and investor-facing financial statements that build credibility with your capital partners.

First-Time Landlords
Just acquired your first property? We set up the right systems from day one so you don't inherit a bookkeeping nightmare later.
Why It Matters

The Hidden Cost of
Disorganized Financials

  • ✓
    Missed depreciation deductions that your CPA didn't catch because the data wasn't there.
  • ✓
    Lender delays caused by financials that don't match the format underwriters expect.
  • ✓
    Surprise tax bills from passive activity rules that weren't tracked throughout the year.
  • ✓
    Blurred entity lines that put personal assets at risk and complicate year-end reporting.
  • ✓
    No clear P&L per property — so you can't tell which units are actually performing.
Sample Portfolio Snapshot

What your monthly report actually looks like.

Every month, you receive financials that reflect how your portfolio actually operates — by property, by entity, by income stream. Not a generic P&L that lumps everything together.

Our Services

Advisory That Covers
the Full Lifecycle

Real estate accounting is more than reconciling bank accounts. We provide the advisory layer your CPA doesn't have time for.

01
Financial Clarity Assessment
Required starting point for all new clients. We review your portfolio structure, entity setup, and current books — then deliver a clear recommendation and fixed-fee scope before any engagement begins.
Starting Point
02
Foundation: Cleanup & Setup
If your books are behind or your QBO isn't configured for real estate, we build the right chart of accounts, property-level class tracking, and entity structure before monthly work begins.
Onboarding
03A
Fundamentals: Monthly Accounting
Ongoing monthly bookkeeping, reconciliations, and financial reporting across your properties and entities. Three tiers based on your involvement level and portfolio complexity.
We handle the books
03B
Fractional Controller Services
For investors who already have a property manager, bookkeeper, or office staff handling day-to-day entries — and need a controller who reviews their work, owns the close across entities, assesses internal controls, and stands behind the accuracy of the financials. The oversight layer between your accounting staff and your decisions.
For existing accounting staff
04
Tax Services
Business and individual return preparation, depreciation schedules, cost segregation coordination, 1031 exchange timing, and year-round tax planning — integrated with your books.
Tax
05
Financial Advisory Projects
Scoped, fixed-fee engagements for specific decisions — acquisition analysis, entity restructuring, cash flow modeling, or pre-sale financial preparation. Available independently.
Advisory
06
Fractional CFO Services
For investors managing significant portfolio complexity who need strategic financial partnership — monthly scorecards, prioritized action items, and CFO-level guidance. Starting at $3,000/month.
Strategic
“
On working with real estate investors

“Most real estate investors we work with have accurate books — but no property-level visibility. They can tell you their total rental income. They can't tell you which properties are actually carrying the portfolio and which ones are quietly underperforming. That's the conversation we start with.”

Katie Vogel
Founder & CEO, Enlightened Order
Sound familiar?

The financial problems most real estate investors run into.

Generic accounting misses the details that matter in real estate — property-level clarity, entity structure, and tax strategy that moves with your portfolio.

🏘️
No property-level visibility

You see total income and expenses, but can't tell which properties are actually profitable and which ones are quietly dragging you down.

🏗️
Fix-and-flip costs miscoded

Project costs hit the wrong accounts, distorting your margins and making it impossible to know your true profit on each deal.

📉
Depreciation not optimized

Depreciation schedules set up wrong — or not at all — mean you're overpaying taxes on income that could legally be offset.

🔄
1031 exchange timing missed

Opportunities to defer capital gains require planning ahead. Most investors find out too late that the window closed months ago.
