Real Estate & Property Management Accounting Services in New York

Real estate accounting is its own discipline. Between CAM reconciliations, rent rolls, NOI, owner and investor reporting, security deposit rules, tenant improvements, and cost segregation, a property owner’s or manager’s books have to answer questions a general accountant never sees — and small errors compound into misstated returns, blown owner statements, and missed tax savings. Precision Accounting & Consulting runs a dedicated real estate and property management accounting practice for New York owners, managers, and investors.

What we do: full-service accounting and bookkeeping built for New York real estate — property-management accounting, CAM reconciliation, rent roll and NOI reporting, owner/investor statements, security-deposit handling, tenant-improvement accounting, and real-estate tax strategy including cost segregation — so your reporting is clean, your owners trust it, and you keep the tax dollars that are legally yours.

A Dedicated Real Estate Practice — Not a General Accountant Dabbling

Precision is built as a niche accounting firm: rather than one generalist covering every industry, we run focused practices with specialists for the fields we serve — construction, law, and commercial real estate among them. For real estate, that means the person on your books actually understands lease accounting, CAM, and how a cost-segregation study changes your depreciation. We work with commercial landlords, property management companies, and real estate investors across Long Island, NYC, and New York State.

Real Estate & Property Management Accounting Services

  • Property management accounting — trust/operating separation, owner draws, management fees, and clean monthly close on a real-estate chart of accounts.
  • CAM reconciliation — accurate common-area maintenance reconciliations and defensible tenant billings, done right so they hold up when a tenant questions them.
  • Rent roll, NOI & owner/investor reporting — reporting owners and lenders actually rely on, tying rent roll to NOI to cash.
  • Security deposit accounting — proper handling and segregation of tenant deposits under New York law.
  • Tenant improvement accounting — correct ASC 842 and tax treatment of TI allowances and leasehold improvements.
  • Real estate investor accounting — entity and property-level books, K-1 support, and distributions for owners and partnerships.
  • Cost segregation & tax planning — accelerating depreciation and structuring for the tax outcomes real estate is uniquely positioned to capture.

The Problems We Solve

“My CAM reconciliations are a mess and I’m afraid a tenant will dispute them.”

“My owner statements never quite tie out and it’s costing me trust.”

“I’m sure I’m leaving depreciation and tax savings on the table.”

“My tenant improvement allowance got booked wrong and now taxes are a question mark.”

“My current accountant doesn’t really understand real estate.”

Why a Real Estate Specialist Matters

A CAM reconciliation built on bad expense pools either under-bills tenants (you eat the cost) or over-bills them (you invite a dispute and a clawback). Owner statements that don’t tie rent roll to NOI to cash quietly erode the trust that keeps management contracts. And on the tax side, real estate is one of the most advantaged asset classes in the code — cost segregation, depreciation, and deal structure can move six figures — but only if someone who knows the rules is planning ahead. These aren’t bookkeeping quirks; they’re the difference between a portfolio that compounds and one that leaks value. We build the systems that keep them right all year.

How We Work

  • Assessment — we review your books, CAM setup, rent roll, and reporting to find the gaps and the missed tax opportunities.
  • Cleanup & setup — a real-estate chart of accounts, CAM and owner-reporting process, and property/entity structure.
  • Ongoing accounting — monthly close, CAM reconciliation, NOI and owner/investor reporting.
  • Advisory — cost segregation, tax planning, and structuring as you acquire and grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a real estate accountant do that a regular accountant doesn’t?

A real estate accountant handles CAM reconciliation, rent roll and NOI reporting, owner/investor statements, security deposits, tenant-improvement accounting, and cost segregation — the industry-specific reporting and tax strategy general accountants typically don’t provide.

Do you handle CAM reconciliation and owner reporting?

Yes. We produce accurate CAM reconciliations and defensible tenant billings, plus owner and investor reporting that ties rent roll to NOI to cash.

Can you help with cost segregation and real estate tax planning?

Yes. We advise on cost segregation, depreciation, and deal structure to capture the tax advantages real estate offers, coordinating a study where it makes sense. Specific outcomes depend on your properties.

Do you work with property managers and individual investors?

Yes — commercial landlords, property management companies, and individual real estate investors and partnerships across New York.

Can you clean up our books if we’re behind?

Yes. We regularly take on cleanup and catch-up engagements, rebuild the chart of accounts and CAM/owner-reporting process, and get owners and managers back to accurate monthly reporting.
