Property accounting

Property accounting built for property management companies.

Your outsourced property accounting team, working as an extension of your in-house team.

Our specialisation

Most accounting firms can read a P&L. Fewer understand the complexity behind a property portfolio.

At Artha Finedge, we provide outsourced property accounting support to property management companies, owners and investors. From rent rolls and CAM reconciliations to owner reporting, property closings and escrow accounting, we handle the detail behind the numbers — accurately, consistently and on time.

You manage the properties. We manage the accounting behind them.

The problem

Property books rarely fail loudly. They drift.

Nothing breaks on a Tuesday. The close slips a few days, then a week. A reconciliation waits for next month. By the time it surfaces, it surfaces in a valuation, an audit, or a tax bill.

01

The close slips

Month-end lands weeks late. Owner reports go out late, and every decision that month is made on numbers that are already stale.

02

The classification is wrong

A roof replacement expensed instead of capitalized moves your NOI, your property valuation and your tax position — quietly, and for years.

03

The reconciliations pile up

Escrow, security deposits and inter-company balances sit unreconciled for months. Then the auditor finds them before you do.

What we handle

The detail behind the numbers.

Property accounting has its own vocabulary: escrow, CAM reconciliation, straight-line rent, capitalization thresholds, owner draws. We work in it every day.

Rent roll & lease tie-out

Rent roll agreed to the ledger every month, with abatements, escalations and straight-lining applied correctly.

Escrow, deposits & trust

Security deposits and escrow balances reconciled and segregated, so trust obligations hold up under audit.

CapEx vs repairs

A capitalization policy applied consistently. Maintain it, expense it. Improve it, capitalize it.

CAM & recoveries

Common area maintenance pools, tenant recovery calculations and year-end true-ups you can defend line by line.

Property closings

Settlement statements booked correctly at acquisition and disposal, with basis, prorations and loan costs in the right place.

Owner & investor reporting

Owner statements, distribution schedules and investor packs on a fixed date, in your format.
