Importance of Bookkeeping Services for Property Owners
Bookkeeping refers mainly to the record-keeping aspects of financial accounting and involves preparing source documents for all transactions, operations, and other events of a business or property owner.
Whether you have one property in your portfolio or hundreds, you must keep accurate records of all in-comings and outgoings relating to your portfolio. These records are used to calculate how much tax you owe.
”What if I don’t keep my accounts up to date? How will this affect me?”
Here are some ways to make sure your bookkeeping is always up-to-date
Pay Close Attention to Receivables
Managing your receivables isn’t quite as much fun. When an invoice is issued, you record a receivable, meaning you log that a customer owes you money. By checking this listing you are able to easily see if a customer has an outstanding balance.
Keep a pulse on your cash flow
Cash flow statements can give you the knowledge you need to anticipate expenses and more appropriately allocate income. They are also useful when building financial trajectories.
Keep personal and business accounts separate
This helps you by not getting confused with both accounts. Accountants can help you separate both accounts in which they will keep you up-to-date on what’s going in and out.
Keeping your records up to date
By keeping your records up to date, you are always aware of the position of your property portfolio. Keeping accurate records allows you to see at a glance whether your portfolio is right at your needs. Bookkeeping for property owners is important. This keeps them up to date with their records and finances. Bookkeeping will also show them what comes in and out of the properties that they own.

Thanks

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is a wonderful blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.

I’ve actually just bought my first buy-to-let property and haven’t thought about the cash flow. I’ll be in touch if I need you help!

First off I would like to say excellent blog! I’ve had a little look around on your website and I have a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you would recommend someone to switch their accountants. I have been with my current one for a while and they seem not to be doing my property account that well.
Thank you!
