Real estate for Australian businesses

A named person on our team owns your file and reviews everything that leaves it. Software does a real share of the grinding underneath it — coding, matching, flagging the obvious gaps — but nothing regulated happens without a person’s judgement, and nothing here is signed or filed by an algorithm.

No — real estate is operational work inside your books, not something submitted to ATO. Where a filing does sit downstream of it, inside industries we know more broadly, that stays with your registered BAS or tax agent, never with us.

Whatever you already run. Most commonly QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage, Zoho Books and a handful of others — we work inside your system rather than moving you onto one of our own.

A short, free read-only look at what you already have, and a written note on what we found. A scoping call decides the size of the engagement — nothing here commits you to anything.

There is no published price for real estate — it depends on volume, how many entities are involved, and how far behind the books are. We quote after the read-only review, which is free.

Real estate sits inside industries we know, alongside Ecommerce, SaaS and software, Professional services. Most clients end up buying the category as a whole rather than one leaf at a time, but starting narrow is fine.

No — under the state's Agents Act, that reconciliation and the mandatory annual audit sit with the licensee holding the trust account, performed by a registered trust account auditor. We maintain the ledger detail that reconciliation is checked against.

No party in the transaction holds it beyond a short window — by law, residential bonds are lodged with the state's bond authority (the Rental Bond Board, RTBA, RTA, or equivalent) and released only through that authority's process. The trust ledger reflects the lodgement, not custody of the funds.

No. What's recoverable and any cap on increases is set by the lease itself, within the boundaries of the state's retail leases legislation. We apply exactly what the lease specifies — a question about how the lease should be read goes to you or your lawyer.

Both — we work inside whichever platform your portfolio already runs on, or Xero with tracking categories for smaller holdings, rather than requiring a migration.

Yes — each entity gets its own books by default. A consolidated view across the portfolio is built only if you specifically ask for one; nothing is blended by default.

No — that apportionment is your accountant's determination, made under ATO guidance. What we provide is the drawdown-by-drawdown detail against the loan schedule that determination needs to be made from.

The landlord or the managing agent of record issues it. We prepare the reconciliation workpaper — actual expense against the estimate, on the lease's pro-rata terms — that the statement is based on.

Yes — routine and special levies are coded and reconciled per property, with capital-works levies flagged separately from operating expense for the accountant.

No — that determination against the state revenue office's aggregation rules is your accountant's call. What we keep ready is entity-level books that make that check possible without reconstructing the portfolio first.

We track the bank guarantee's amount and expiry in our lease administration records for CAM and outgoings purposes. Holding, issuing, and managing the guarantee itself sits between the landlord and the bank.
