The Solution
FinAccurex built a single executive dashboard consolidating all 4 QuickBooks instances with a dynamic pivot table that filters by entity, property, or period.
Automated partner distribution calculations eliminated manual errors entirely. Month-end close was reduced from 8 to 10 days down to 3 or 4 days.
JV Entity 2 was identified as a chronic underperformer, leading to a strategic exit. Two properties in JV Entity 1 were flagged for rising maintenance costs.
Is This Your Situation?
- Your properties sit in several entities, each with its own QuickBooks file and partner split.
- You cannot answer "how much cash do I have?" or "which entity is most profitable?" without a week of work.
- Month-end close across the entities takes 8 to 10 days.
