Owner Reporting & Disbursements

Q: Do we still need to review statements before they go out?

Yes, manager review and approval remain part of the workflow before any payment is released.

Q: Will this work with the accounting system we already use?

The workflow connects to common property management accounting and spreadsheet tools already in use.

Q: What happens if a bank deposit does not match the trust ledger?

Unmatched deposits are flagged for manual review instead of being included in the disbursement batch.

Q: Is this suited for a smaller property management firm?

Yes, the workflow scales to firms managing a modest number of owner accounts as well as larger portfolios.

Automated owner reporting closes the books faster and gets landlords paid without your team chasing numbers.

About This Automation

Owner reporting and disbursements require reconciling trust accounts, calculating fees, and paying property owners on a recurring schedule. Manual handling across spreadsheets and accounting systems creates delays and increases the risk of reconciliation errors.

The automated version reconciles trust deposits, calculates fees and reserves, and delivers owner statements with payment on the same cycle. This shortens turnaround time and reduces the manual review burden on accounting staff.

Key features:

Reconciles trust bank deposits against the rent roll automatically

Assigns payments to the correct owner and unit without manual matching

Calculates management fees and reserve holdbacks per owner

Builds formatted owner statements ready for review

Routes statements for manager approval before payment release

Sends statements and initiates owner payments in one pass
