Granular General Ledgers
Having ledgers available across your various entities is hugely helpful in diagnosing any accounting concerns. That's why RentPost bakes these into every profile, directly - accessible from every page, even reports.
Customize Your Chart of Accounts
Available for both, a set of "management" books, and your "trust" books - setup your chart of accounts with custom numbers, names, groupings and more. You can even decide which receivable accounts are applicable for automated late fee assessments.
Flexibility and Automation
Since 2011 we've been working with property managers to ensure RentPost's accounting is not only automating manual tasks, but offering the flexibility to accommodate even rather obscure needs - all without over-complicating things.
Just a few of the many examples...
Assess Late Fees Automatically
Setup custom late fee schedules and sit back while the system adds charges and sends tenant notifications.
Bill Tenants for Custom Charges
RentPost isn't just for rent collection. Bill tenants for anything: utilities, trash fees, laundry - whatever.
Issue Credits
Also known as a concession - ensure your ledgers are truly accurate with proper accounting entries.
Collect Taxes and Surcharge Fees
Taxes and surcharges are calculated at the time of payment, and aren't, therefore, receivables. Setup custom calculations and charge tenants at the time of payment.
