Real Estate Accounting for Des Moines Investors

Real estate bookkeeping and accounting for Des Moines investors. Property-level financials, investor services, and tax coordination.

Real Estate Accounting for Des Moines

Des Moines is a cash-flow market. Investors here buy for yield, not coastal-style appreciation bets. Properties with solid cap rates and steady tenants. That means the numbers have to be right. You can’t rely on a rising tide to cover sloppy accounting. You need books that show actual performance by property so you know which assets are carrying their weight and which ones need attention.

We provide real estate bookkeeping and accounting for Des Moines investors. Monthly closes with property-level financials, depreciation schedules maintained for tax strategy, and books that are ready when you refinance, sell, or file. The work is led by founder Matthew Rodrigue, who brings over 15 years of real estate accounting experience and has managed portfolios from the inside as a former Director of Investments for a family office.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Property-level profit and loss statements that show you how each asset is performing. Financial statements delivered on a consistent schedule so you always know where you stand.

Property-Level Reporting

See performance by asset, not just in aggregate. When you own properties across Des Moines, West Des Moines, and the suburbs, you need to know which ones generate returns and which ones drag. Our reporting gives you that clarity.

Depreciation & Tax Tracking

Depreciation schedules maintained and tied to your tax strategy. Cost segregation coordination when it makes sense. Books structured so your CPA can file without rebuilding everything at year end.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

If your books are behind or were never set up properly for real estate, we clean them up first. Reconcile every account, fix categorization, rebuild the chart of accounts around your assets, and deliver a clean starting point before moving to monthly work.

Des Moines Real Estate We Work With

The Des Moines metro has grown steadily without the boom-and-bust cycles that define more speculative markets. That stability attracts investors who think in terms of long-term holds and predictable income. We work with investors across the range of what gets held here. From a few single-family rentals to larger portfolios, from individual owners to real estate fund accounting for syndicators pooling capital from multiple investors.

The finance and insurance industries that anchor the local economy create a base of professionals who understand returns and expect their books to reflect reality. We serve that expectation with accounting built specifically for real estate.

Single-Family & Small Multifamily

The common entry point for Des Moines investors. We set up books by property, track income and expenses at the asset level, and maintain depreciation schedules as your portfolio grows. Built to scale from a handful of doors to dozens across multiple entities.

Syndications & Funds

For syndicators and fund managers raising capital from investors. We handle the layer above your properties. Entity books, investor capital accounts, waterfall and distribution calculations, investor reporting, and K-1s prepared by our in-house CPA. The infrastructure your investors expect.

Commercial Properties

Office, retail, and industrial assets across the metro. Des Moines has commercial tenants tied to the insurance and financial services industries that drive the local economy. We handle lease tracking, CAM reconciliation, tenant billings, and lender reporting for commercial owners.

Property Management Companies

If you manage properties for other investors, you need trust accounting done right. We keep owner and tenant funds properly separated, run three-way reconciliation each period, and produce clean owner statements and disbursements. Your trust ledger stays accurate and auditable.

Common Questions

Do you have an office in Des Moines?

No. We're based in Jersey City and work virtually with clients across the country. Des Moines investors get the same service without needing to schedule office visits. Everything happens through secure document sharing and regular calls.

What does real estate bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $500. Your price depends on the number and types of assets, entity structure, and scope of work. We quote a flat monthly rate after reviewing your portfolio.

Do you work with smaller investors or only large portfolios?

Both. We work with investors holding a handful of rentals through owners with 50 or more units and syndicators managing investor capital. The services scale to fit where you are now.

Can you help with syndication accounting and K-1s?

Yes. We handle fund and entity books, capital account tracking, waterfall calculations, investor reporting, and K-1 preparation. The firm's in-house CPA prepares the returns and K-1s.

How do you handle Iowa tax considerations?

Our in-house CPA prepares state returns alongside federal. For investors with property in multiple states, we handle multi-state filing. Tax planning happens throughout the year, not just at filing time.
