LedgerMatch
Bank Reconciliation for Property Management Companies in Boston, MA
A practical CSV-based bank-to-ledger workflow for property management companies bookkeepers serving businesses in Boston.
Bookkeeping context in Boston
Boston's world-class education, biotech, financial services, and healthcare sectors create one of the most sophisticated accounting markets in the US. Citizens Bank is headquartered in Providence (with major Boston operations), and TD Bank is the most popular commercial bank in New England. LedgerMatch handles both CSV formats alongside Bank of America and Chase exports, reconciling Boston business accounts against QuickBooks or Xero in under 10 minutes.
Property Management Companies reconciliation workflow
Property management companies operate with multiple bank accounts — a trust account holding tenant security deposits, an operating account for management fees and expenses, and often a separate account for each property owner. Each account needs its own monthly bank reconciliation. LedgerMatch helps property management bookkeepers reconcile all of them — matching rent deposits, security deposit movements, owner disbursements, and maintenance vendor payments against QuickBooks or AppFolio ledger exports in under 10 minutes per account.
Local and industry considerations
- Massachusetts has an 8% corporate excise tax and Boston businesses pay a personal property tax — accurate monthly reconciliation is essential for quarterly estimated payment accuracy.
- Security deposit trust accounts must reconcile independently from operating accounts, and owner disbursements must match distribution statements exactly — errors in either account can create legal liability for the property manager.
