Xconcile provides outsourced real estate accounting support based on your existing processes and systems. Our team can help with your recurring accounting tasks, maintain accurate financial records, and provide the accounting support your team needs to keep day-to-day financial operations running smoothly.

Key Challenges

Common Real Estate Accounting Challenges

Add experienced accounting capacity without the time and overhead of building an in-house team. A dedicated accounting professional can work within your existing systems.

  • Property-Level Accounting

    Managing income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and financial activity across individual properties requires organized property-level records.

  • Bank & Account Reconciliations

    Regular reconciliation is needed to identify missing transactions, duplicate entries, and differences between accounting records and bank statements.

  • Manage More Properties

    Managing financial information across multiple properties, entities, and ownership structures can make data collection, consolidation, and reporting more complex.

  • Lease & CAM Accounting

    Commercial properties can involve different lease terms, operating-expense allocations, CAM charges, and year-end reconciliations.

  • Manual Accounting Workloads

    Spreadsheets and fragmented processes can increase manual work around reconciliations, reporting, and financial data management as portfolios become more complex.
