# REA, Real Estate Accounting & Tax (RealEstateAccounting.co)

> Outsourced accounting, bookkeeping and tax for US real estate: property management companies, owner operators, commercial landlords, developers, syndicators, HOAs, assisted living operators and construction firms. REA works INSIDE the client's existing property management software with accountant-level access rather than exporting data into a separate ledger, which is the detail that distinguishes it from a generalist bookkeeping firm.

REA is a specialist firm, not a general accounting practice: it works only with real estate businesses. Its work centers on trust accounting (client money held against state statute), the monthly close, bank and owner reconciliation, CAM reconciliation for commercial leases, and tax. Team of 230+ accountants across 130,000+ residential units and 30m+ commercial square feet. Coverage is all 50 US states.

## Industries served

Each page below explains the accounting problem specific to that vertical, not just the services offered.

- [Property Management](https://rea.co/property-management/): A property manager's books are not one business's books. They are a trust obligation to every owner in the portfolio, tested against a state statute, on top of an operating company that also has to make money.
- [Commercial Real Estate](https://rea.co/commercial/): Residential accounting runs on a rent roll. Commercial accounting runs on a stack of individually negotiated leases, each with its own base year, its own expense stops, its own exclusions and caps, and its own escalation schedule.
- [Owner Operators](https://rea.co/owner-operators/): An owner-operator has no third-party owner demanding a monthly statement and, in most states, a much lighter trust obligation. That freedom is the point of owning rather than managing, and it is also why owner-operator books go unexamined for years at a stretch.
- [Developers](https://rea.co/developers/): An operating property produces a monthly P&L. A development produces almost nothing for two years and then produces everything at once.
- [Construction](https://rea.co/construction/): Construction recognizes revenue as work is performed, which means your income statement is built on an estimate: how complete each job is. Get the cost-to-complete wrong and you have not made a bookkeeping error, you have reported profit that does not exist, or hidden profit you already earned.
- [Homeowner Associations](https://rea.co/hoa/): An HOA's accounting has an audience that no other vertical has: a volunteer board, a membership entitled to see the numbers, and in most states a statute governing reserves, assessments, and disclosure. The books exist to be read by people who did not prepare them, which changes what good looks like.
- [Syndicators](https://rea.co/real-estate-syndication-accounting/): A syndication's economics are not in the general ledger. They are in the operating agreement: the preferred return, the catch-up, the promote, the waterfall tiers, and how capital accounts are maintained.
- [Assisted Living](https://rea.co/assisted-living/): An assisted living community is a building with a hospitality and care business running inside it. The real estate has a balance sheet, debt, and depreciation.

## Software platforms REA works in

REA operates inside the client's own instance of these platforms. Each page describes what that platform does well for accounting and where it breaks.

- [AppFolio](https://rea.co/appfolio/): AppFolio is one of the few platforms in this category that was designed around property accounting rather than having it bolted on. That is a real advantage, and it also means the failures are subtler: the system will happily stay balanced while the underlying setup is wrong.
- [Yardi](https://rea.co/yardi/): Yardi ships as two materially different products under one name. Voyager serves enterprise portfolios with deep commercial capability.
- [Buildium](https://rea.co/buildium/): Buildium serves small and mid-sized residential operators and carries association management alongside rentals. That means a single instance often holds both rental trust money and HOA assessment money, and the platform will let you run them together without ever objecting.
- [Rent Manager](https://rea.co/rent-manager/): Rent Manager is built to be shaped around your operation: custom fields, custom workflows, deep multi-entity structures, and historical data going back further than most platforms retain. Every one of those strengths is also the reason a Rent Manager engagement starts with an audit rather than a close.
- [Entrata](https://rea.co/entrata/): Entrata is built multifamily-first, with leasing, resident services and accounting sharing the same record. That integration is the product's whole point, and it means a mistake made by someone who has never opened a general ledger lands in the general ledger immediately.
- [RealPage](https://rea.co/realpage/): RealPage serves enterprise multifamily operators with portfolio-level accounting, heavy reporting requirements, and institutional owners who expect a package on a fixed date. The scale that makes it powerful is also what lets errors hide.
- [QuickBooks](https://rea.co/quickbooks-real-estate/): QuickBooks has no trust accounting module, no native tenant ledger, and no owner statement. Every property-level structure has to be built by hand with classes or locations.
- [MRI](https://rea.co/mri/): MRI is an enterprise platform assembled from modules, with particular strength in commercial lease administration and CAM. Modularity is why it fits portfolios nothing else fits, and it is also why no two MRI instances behave the same way.
- [Sage](https://rea.co/sage/): Construction accounting is not traditional bookkeeping. Job costing, retainage, WIP schedules and draw tracking all have to reflect how projects actually run, and Sage only helps if someone is running it properly.
- [Premier Construction Software](https://rea.co/premier/): Construction accounting is not traditional bookkeeping. Job costing, retainage, WIP schedules and draw tracking all have to reflect how projects actually run, and Premier Construction Software only helps if someone is running it properly.
- [Procore](https://rea.co/procore/): Construction accounting is not traditional bookkeeping. Job costing, retainage, WIP schedules and draw tracking all have to reflect how projects actually run, and Procore only helps if someone is running it properly.
- [Buildertrend](https://rea.co/buildertrend/): Construction accounting is not traditional bookkeeping. Job costing, retainage, WIP schedules and draw tracking all have to reflect how projects actually run, and Buildertrend only helps if someone is running it properly.
- [Northspyre](https://rea.co/northspyre/): Construction accounting is not traditional bookkeeping. Job costing, retainage, WIP schedules and draw tracking all have to reflect how projects actually run, and Northspyre only helps if someone is running it properly.
- [Propertyware](https://rea.co/propertyware/): Propertyware serves single-family and scattered-site operators: hundreds of doors across hundreds of addresses, often across several owners and entities. The accounting problem is not complexity per property, it is volume and dispersion.

## Services

- [Real Estate Accounting](https://rea.co/accounting/): The core monthly engagement: close, reconciliation and reporting.
- [Trust Accounting](https://rea.co/trust-accounting/): Client money held against state statute, reconciled per owner rather than per pooled bank balance.
- [Bank Reconciliation](https://rea.co/bank-reconciliation-services/): Feed reconciliation on a set cadence to catch double-posting before it compounds.
- [Accounts Payable & Receivable](https://rea.co/accounts-payable-receivable/): AP and AR run inside the client's platform.
- [CAM Reconciliation](https://rea.co/cam-reconciliation/): Commercial recoveries traced back to the lease clause that governs them.
- [Lease Abstraction](https://rea.co/lease-abstraction-services/): Turning lease documents into structured, searchable data.
- [Bookkeeping Cleanup](https://rea.co/bookkeeping-cleanup/): Back books and catch-up work before a clean monthly cadence can start.
- [Income Tax Services](https://rea.co/tax/): Real estate tax preparation and planning.
