Frequently Asked Questions
Everything landlords ask before getting started.
How much does bookkeeping for rental properties cost?
Rental property bookkeeping costs depend on the number of rental properties, monthly transactions, bank accounts, credit cards, entities, and whether cleanup or catch-up work is needed.
At Shepherd Accounting Solutions, monthly bookkeeping starts at $159/month for 1–2 rental properties, $299/month for 3–5 properties, and $449/month for 6–10 properties. Custom pricing is available for 11+ units, multiple LLCs, advanced reporting, or cleanup bookkeeping.
Each plan includes reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, tax-ready records, and monthly reports designed for rental property owners.
Do I need a bookkeeper for my rental properties?
A landlord may need a bookkeeper when rental income, repairs, mortgage payments, owner draws, deposits, and property expenses become hard to track. A rental property bookkeeper helps keep each property’s income and expenses organized so the owner can see real profit, prepare for taxes, and make better decisions. This is especially helpful for landlords with multiple properties, shared bank accounts, messy records, or books that are several months behind.
What reports do I get each month?
Every month by the 10th, you receive per-property profit and loss statements, net operating income (NOI) tracking, cash flow reports, expense breakdowns by category, and tax-ready books your CPA can file without questions
What accounting software do you use?
We work primarily with QuickBooks Online and Xero — the two most trusted platforms for rental property accounting. We set up your chart of accounts specifically for rental portfolios, not generic small business templates.
Do you work with landlords outside the US?
Yes. We serve rental property owners in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. We understand the tax and reporting requirements for each country and use region-appropriate accounting standards.
What is cleanup bookkeeping for rental properties?
Cleanup bookkeeping is the process of fixing old, inaccurate, incomplete, or messy books. For rental property owners, this may include correcting uncategorized expenses, separating personal and business transactions, reconciling old bank accounts, organizing receipts, fixing duplicate transactions, and setting up property-level reporting. Cleanup is often needed before tax season, before working with a CPA, or before making financial decisions based on the books.
What is catch-up bookkeeping?
Catch-up bookkeeping is used when a rental property owner is behind on their monthly books. This may mean several months or years of transactions need to be categorized, reconciled, and reviewed. Catch-up bookkeeping helps landlords get current so they can file taxes, review cash flow, apply for loans, or understand how their properties are performing.
How do you keep my financial data secure?
Every engagement starts with a signed NDA. We use bank-grade encryption (TLS 1.2+), least-privilege access controls, secure document portals instead of email attachments, and enforce multi-factor authentication on all team logins. We follow GDPR-aware practices for UK clients and US/AU privacy norms.
