Doing It Yourself, Hiring In-House, or Outsourcing
A plain comparison of the three common ways real estate businesses keep their books.
| Consideration | Doing it yourself | In-house bookkeeper | Outsourcing to Estate Ledger Partners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost structure | Your own time, which has a cost of its own | Salary, benefits, recruiting, training and software | A defined monthly scope you agree up front |
| Real estate knowledge | Depends on you | Depends on who you hire | Real estate is our only focus |
| Time required from you | High | Management and review | Answer questions and review reports |
| Coverage for leave or turnover | None | Gaps when someone leaves or is away | Documented process, not one person's memory |
| Adding properties or entities | More of your time | May need another hire | Scope adjusts with your portfolio |
| Monthly reporting | Often irregular | Varies with experience | Agreed reports on a regular schedule |

Frequently Asked Questions
How does pricing work?
Pricing is scoped to your business: the number of entities and properties, monthly transaction volume and the reporting you need. Send an enquiry and we will recommend a scope and quote.
Which accounting software do you work in?
The major property management and accounting platforms, listed on the Services page. We work inside the systems you already use.
How does onboarding work?
We start with discovery of your portfolio, entities and software, agree a scope, set up secure access and build a month-end checklist specific to your business. The timeline depends on the size and condition of your books and is agreed upfront.
Who reviews the work?
Qualified accounting professionals do the work, and it passes through layered reviews before reporting packages are delivered to you.
Are there long-term contracts?
Engagements are structured around your workload and reporting cadence, without rigid long-term commitments, so you can scale capacity up or down.
Do you provide tax, audit or legal services?
Not unless specifically agreed and provided by appropriately qualified professionals. Our core scope is bookkeeping, reconciliations, close and reporting.
