As your Real Estate Accountant, we will help you keep all of your financials in order through monthly bank reconciliations where we will review income statements and your general ledger. 

Income Statement

An income statement takes a list of your revenue and subtracts a list of your expenses in order to figure out what the profit or loss was for a certain time period. An income statement allows you to:

• Track all revenues and expenses
• Identify specific items that are causing unexpected expenditures
• Figure out what areas of your business are over- or under-budget
• Determine your income tax liability
• Track substantial increases in product returns or cost of goods

Maintaining a Clean General Ledger

Any problem with your general ledger can affect all of your financial records. Every month we will review your general ledger and find and fix any discrepancies such as unrecorded payments or double billings.
