Why Outsource Bookkeeping?

2. Save on costs - agents report saving up to 40% in operating costs by switching to Rentancy - this means more profit to the bottom line every year.
3. Less people headaches - less recruitment, less holiday cover planning mean a simpler business.

We support 3 methods of accounting
Client Money Accounting
Agents hold tenant and landlord money in a client account. Pay-ins and Pay-outs are allocated daily to landlords, tenants, suppliers (including the agent) and tagged with the associated property.
At the end of each day a cash reconciliation report is run showing the full allocation of all monies.
Profit & Loss Accounting
Simpler than Client Money Accounting, rental income, lease income and expenses are accounted for within a traditional P&L.
Typically a P&L is maintained matching the corporate holding structure of a landlord or corporate.
Rents may be books to a ledger code per property or a single income account.
Service Charge Accounting
Block and commercial agents or landlords raise a service charge annually to cover the upkeep of the property and maintenance of communal areas.
The agent prepares a budget for all leaseholders and balances from the prior year, either under or overs are carried to the next year.
Demands are issued at the start of the service charge period and a 6 month budget versus actual expenditure is prepared for leaseholders at midway and end of the accounting period.
