Expertise

Why Real Estate Expertise Matters

Generic bookkeepers can record transactions and reconcile bank accounts. But real estate accounting demands specialized knowledge that most accountants simply don't have. Missing a depreciation schedule, miscoding an intercompany transfer, or failing to maintain proper trust account separation creates compliance headaches and eroded investor confidence.

What Generic Accountants Miss

  • Trust account separation rules
  • Property-level depreciation
  • 1031 exchange timelines
  • Investor waterfall calculations
  • CAM reconciliation nuances

What Etisson Covers

  • Full trust compliance & 3-way recon
  • Asset-by-asset depreciation schedules
  • 1031 tracking with QI coordination
  • Partnership capital & distribution accounting
  • Tenant-level CAM pass-through tracking
