Buford, GA · Serving Metro Atlanta
Lender-ready books for investors. Tax-ready books for agents. Run by a father-and-son team who specialize exclusively in real estate — and know what generalist bookkeepers miss.
What we do
We don't do plumbers, dentists, or restaurants. Just real estate — investors and agents. That focus is why we catch what generalists miss.
About us
I'm Chuck, and I spent 30 years as a pharmacist — most of it in hospital pharmacy and oncology infusion, where a misread decimal or a missed double-check could put a patient in real danger. That kind of work builds a particular habit of mind: verify, reconcile, document, and never trust "close enough."
When I moved into bookkeeping, I brought that same standard with me. Every reconciliation, every review, every monthly close gets the same discipline I used to bring to a chemo order.
My son Brandon holds a Master's degree in Accountancy and works in-house as a bookkeeper for a real estate developer. He sees how real estate financials function from the operator's side every day — entities, draws, contributions, rehab capitalization, commission flow, and what lenders actually look for in a financial package. When we manage your books, we already speak your language.
We chose to specialize in real estate because the work is genuinely different from generalist bookkeeping — and most real estate professionals are stuck with generalist bookkeepers who don't catch the things that matter. Wrong entity setup. Missed depreciation. Commingled accounts. Books a lender won't accept on a refi. We catch all of it because it's all we do.
Pricing
Every real estate business is different, so we publish starting prices and quote a flat monthly rate after a quick email exchange and a look at your books. No hourly surprises, no nickel-and-diming.
1–2 doors or 1 active flip · single entity
3–8 doors or 2–4 flips · up to 3 entities
9+ doors, multi-LLC, or 5+ flips/yr
Most new clients need cleanup before going on a monthly plan. Behind on the books? Miscategorized? Never been touched by a professional? We'll get you current, accurate, and ready to move forward. Quoted as a one-time flat fee after we review your file — no hourly surprises.
Free tools
Two free calculators built for the way real estate actually works — for agents who want to know what they're really keeping, and investors who want the full picture, not just cash flow.

Year 1 total return combines cash flow, principal paydown, and assumed appreciation, divided by total cash invested. Tax benefits from depreciation are not included — your CPA will calculate those separately.
Are your books set up to track this property correctly for your lender and CPA?

Yes. We work exclusively in QuickBooks Online because it's the industry standard for real estate bookkeeping, integrates cleanly with the lenders and tools you're already using, and gives you 24/7 access to your books from anywhere. Specializing in one platform means we know it deeply.
If you're currently on Desktop, Xero, spreadsheets, or shoeboxes — no problem. We migrate you to QBO as part of onboarding, and migration is typically included in your cleanup fee. As a QBO ProAdvisor, we can often get you ProAdvisor pricing on your subscription.
Depends on the mess. A 12-month catch-up for a single-entity landlord usually takes 2–3 weeks. A multi-entity flipper with two years of commingled accounts can take 4–6 weeks. We quote each year separately and can prioritize the most recent year first if you have a tax deadline coming. Most clients who come to us are at least one year behind — you're not alone.
No. After an initial 90-day commitment that protects both of us during onboarding, all monthly plans are month-to-month. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in.
We work with your existing CPA. Bookkeeping and tax filing are two different jobs, and good CPAs love working with good bookkeepers — it makes their work faster and more accurate. We deliver clean, tax-ready books directly to your CPA at year-end and are available to answer questions during tax prep.
If you don't have a CPA, we can refer you to a few we trust who specialize in real estate.
It starts with an email. Tell us a bit about your business — properties, entities, transactions, how you're currently handling books — and any questions you have. We'll usually reply same day with follow-up questions and, if it makes sense to move forward, request read-only access to your current books so we can scope a quote. You'll have a flat-fee proposal within 48 hours.
Why email instead of a phone call? Both of us work full-time during the day, so email-first lets us give your business careful attention in focused blocks rather than rushed conversations. Most of our clients prefer it — there's a written record of every decision, and nothing gets lost.
For monthly bookkeeping with no cleanup needed: typically within a week of signing. For cleanup work, we usually start within 1–2 weeks depending on our current schedule. If you have an urgent deadline — refi, tax filing, lender deadline — mention it in your first email and we'll let you know honestly whether we can hit it.
Yes. Our Growth tier includes up to 3 entities, and Portfolio includes unlimited entities with consolidated reporting and intercompany eliminations. This is one of the most common reasons investors come to us — generalist bookkeepers struggle with multi-entity structures.
We serve clients across Georgia and beyond. Bookkeeping is fully remote — we don't need to be in the same office (or even the same state) to do excellent work. That said, we do prefer working with real estate clients in markets we understand, which means Georgia and the Southeast.
