The records that help us start.
Complete source records help us understand the work and avoid assumptions. We’ll confirm the relevant periods, access and any missing information before agreeing a schedule. Historical corrections, additional entities and extra jurisdictions may change the scope.
Your starting checklist
- Property list and ownership details
- Management statements
- Mortgage and purchase records
- Repair and improvement invoices
Answers before we begin
Real Estate & Rental Property Bookkeeping: common questions.
Are repairs and improvements treated the same?
Not always. Keep detailed invoices and descriptions so the correct accounting and tax treatment can be reviewed. A bank description alone is often insufficient.
Can you track more than one rental?
Yes, the scope can cover multiple properties with an agreed reporting structure and complete source records.
Does this include investment advice?
No. Bookkeeping organizes the records. Investment selection, legal advice and valuation are outside this service.
Your next step
Let’s put your numbers in context.
