Real Estate Accounting for Cincinnati

Cincinnati has become one of the more active multifamily markets in the Midwest. Affordable acquisition prices compared to coastal cities, steady population growth, and corporate relocations have brought investors ranging from local landlords adding their second triplex to institutional syndicators raising capital for 200-unit communities. What they share is a need for accounting that actually understands real estate.

We are a fractional CFO for real estate and full-service accounting firm built specifically for investors like you. Bookkeeping structured by property and entity, tax strategy that maximizes depreciation and deductions, and the sponsor services that syndications require. Founder Matthew Rodrigue leads every engagement directly, backed by a team and an in-house CPA. Fully virtual, working with Cincinnati investors wherever they are.

Real Estate Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping built around your assets. Chart of accounts designed by property type, bank and loan reconciliation, property-level P&L statements, depreciation schedules, and books closed on a tight monthly schedule. The foundation everything else depends on.

Tax Returns and Planning

Federal and state returns prepared by our in-house CPA, coordinated with the books we keep so everything ties out. Year-round tax planning around cost segregation, 1031 exchanges, and the strategies that move the needle for multifamily owners.

Sponsor and Investor Services

For syndicators and fund managers: investor capital account tracking, waterfall and distribution calculations, quarterly reporting packages, portal management, and partnership K-1s delivered on time. The back office infrastructure your investors expect.

Virtual CFO

Cincinnati Real Estate Investors We Work With

The Cincinnati market supports a range of investment strategies. Over-the-Rhine and the urban core have drawn value-add investors converting historic buildings into apartments. The suburbs from West Chester to Mason have newer garden-style communities with institutional capital behind them. Neighborhoods throughout the city have small multifamily buildings that individual landlords have owned for years. Different scale, different complexity, same underlying need for books that reflect reality.

We work with investors at every stage, from owners of a handful of units to operators running portfolios across multiple states. The common thread is that real estate is the business, and the accounting needs to match.

Multifamily Investors

Apartment community owners and operators, from a 10-unit building in Oakley to 150 units across multiple properties. We handle the property-level bookkeeping, debt tracking, and financial reporting that lets you see how each asset actually performs.

Syndicators and Fund Managers

Sponsors raising capital for Cincinnati deals or funds with Cincinnati assets in the mix. Capital accounts, distributions, investor reporting, and K-1s prepared by our in-house CPA. The layer above the property that most accounting firms cannot handle.

Small Portfolio Landlords

Owners building a portfolio one property at a time. Duplexes, triplexes, small apartment buildings. We set up your books the right way from the start, track each property separately, and keep depreciation clean as you grow.

Commercial Investors

Retail, office, and industrial owners in the Cincinnati market. Lease tracking, CAM reconciliation, tenant billing, and the reporting your lenders require. Commercial leases create accounting complexity that generic bookkeepers miss.
