It is crucial for you to understand these numbers and how to manage them. A real estate business requires professional accounting with the most up to date accounting software like QuickBooks.

Incorporating real estate accounting will help you manage your business more effectively and efficiently. Having your company’s financial data ready at your fingertips makes it easy for you to make quick decisions especially if you are involved with real estate investment. In addition, you’re able to track results and progress over time to ultimately make the decisions that are right for your business.

Key Considerations For  Real Estate Accounting 


Real estate accounting has a lot of moving parts. For every step of a real estate transaction (from buying a property, renovating, renting, or selling it), you need to keep proper and accurate records. Here are 3 key considerations when setting up your real estate accounting:

You have to choose an accounting method

Your options are the cash method or the accrual method. The cash method of accounting says you record revenue when cash is received and when expenses are paid out. The accrual method says you record revenue when providing/perform products/services. And expenses are recorded when incurred. Whichever you use, you need to maintain accurate financial records and know how to use those numbers.

Chart of accounts

A chart of accounts is a comprehensive list of accounts you need to record your transactions. Your chart of accounts is needed to create reports, which show your financial results and should be performed by a real estate bookkeeper or someone certified to do real estate accounting. Your chart of accounts needs to be set up so that all of your transactions can be reflected. This means having accounts for repairs, advertising, rent, commissions, etc.

Supporting documents

In real estate, you encounter a lot of paperwork. It’s important to keep up with these documents to support claims made in your books and tax returns and this is crucial in the United States. Examples of are supporting documents you should keep up with are: contracts, leases, bank statements, tax returns, receipts, insurance information, rental properties.
