Voyager and Breeze Are Two Different Accounting Problems

The First Question on Any Yardi Engagement

Yardi ships as two materially different products under one name. Voyager serves enterprise portfolios with deep commercial capability. Breeze serves smaller residential operators. They have different accounting depth and different failure modes, and knowing which one you are on changes what is even possible in the books.

What it does well

Enterprise chart of accounts and commercial depth

On Voyager you get a genuinely enterprise-grade chart of accounts, strong commercial lease and CAM handling, analytics, and multi-entity consolidation. For a portfolio holding office, retail, and multifamily under several ownership entities, very little else in the category keeps up.

Where it breaks

Flexibility that propagates a bad setup everywhere

Voyager's configurability means a misconfigured chart of accounts does not stay contained, it propagates across every entity that inherits it. Breeze has the opposite problem: operators outgrow its reporting and start compensating with spreadsheets outside the system, so the platform stops being the source of truth without anyone deciding that it should.

How we work it

We scope Voyager and Breeze separately

We start every Yardi engagement by establishing which product you are on and how it was configured, because the catch-up work, the monthly scope, and the reporting we can produce all differ. A Breeze portfolio that has outgrown the platform gets told so rather than quietly worked around.

  1. 1

    Provide access to your PMS instance

    After accounting access is provided, we'll get to work reviewing your financials to understand the scale of your business. From there, we will provide a comprehensive breakdown of our accounting services and associated monthly costs.

  2. 2

    We begin onboarding

    Once the contract is executed, we will begin our thorough onboarding process immediately. Our onboarding team will dig into the accuracy of your financials, detail and improve operational processes, and complete any catch-up bookkeeping needed.

We act as an extension of your team ensuring your financials are done on-time and accurately every single month.

You Get a Team With Names, Not a Ticket Queue

Who Actually Works On Your Yardi Books

Outsourced accounting fails when nobody owns the account. At REA you are assigned a property accounting team and a client success lead who knows your portfolio, your owners, and your quirks. They stay on your account, so you are never re-explaining your chart of accounts to someone new.

Client story

Came from a bookkeeper who did not know real estate

Following a series of erroneous financials from my previous bookkeeper, who lacked expertise in real estate, it's been truly remarkable to receive not only accurate financials on a consistent basis but also proactive advice without prompting. The REA team is a game-changer in real estate accounting!

Onboarding and responsiveness

Real Estate Accounting truly is a special company. They helped as if they were a part of our company, with the concern and caution as an employee would have, but even more. They quickly ascertained our needs and developed an effective team to help with our accounting needs. They were extremely responsive and always accurate. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs help with their property management accounting.
