Trust Bookkeeping · Our Flagship Service

Fully outsource accounting.

Focus on your business and leave the books to us. Trust Bookkeeping combines payables, receivables, and daily bank reconciliations in one full service priced per unit, so it scales with your portfolio. For a small-to-mid-size property manager, that usually costs no more than one in-house bookkeeper once you count salary, benefits, payroll taxes, software, and onboarding.

Nebraska Lifestyles case study banner
Customer story
  • AppFolio
  • 60 to 600+ units

Nebraska Lifestyles grew from 60 units to over 600 with clean books.

After moving to AppFolio on their own, they were fighting manual processes, bank accounts that would not reconcile, and inaccurate reports. APM Help finished the AppFolio transition, set up standardized bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, and reporting, and kept supporting them as they grew.

“Now I'm done in less than an hour.”

What APM Help clients are saying.

APM Help is here to power the best local property managers in the United States.

We have been with APM since January 2019.  I love being able to ask any questions regarding AppFolio property management and accounting. I get answers the same day.  A lot of times APM goes above and beyond to help where ever they can.  I save a lot of time having APM assist with owner payments, move outs and much more.   It is also very reassuring knowing that my books are in order.  We look forward to growing our business and relationship with APM.

APM Help was referred to me to clean up my messed up Buildium books spanning years after trial and error with many companies who claimed they knew or could figure out Buildium. From the start, our representative demonstrated not only their proficiency with bookkeeping, but their sorcery-like expertise with Buildium! Their ability to dive right in and learn our business with just a short consult is nothing short of amazing. Our representative is able to masterfully create solutions to complex accounting errors that have plagued my books and turn them into accurate financial records. They are like watching magicians cast accuracy spells upon my Buildium books! 10/10 stars!

I think I got really lucky with APM, the story that sold me on you guys is that you are a team of Ex-AppFolio people. It made you stand apart. With APM, not only do you get a bookkeeper who is competent, but an expert AppFolio property manager. It's a very positive experience, and I don't know that I would have had the same experience elsewhere. When you choose someone, make sure that they are competent in the software that you are using!

If you are going to trust a third party or are thinking about it, APM Help is the way to go. Especially because they are property management focused, and they know how to help us grow. I would be happy to recommend APM Help to anyone. I've told people that if they don't end up using APM Help then it would probably be the biggest mistake of their career.
I never thought I could get my books under control, and now, thanks to APM Help, it's buttoned up, I can finally sleep at night, and I could not be more grateful.

FAQs

Got questions? We've got answers. Have even more questions? We are here to help.

On average a clean up will take anywhere between 2-4 weeks but is completely dependent on the scope of work and the clients ability to provide answers to the consultants questions in a timely manner.

Corporate bookkeeping is any transactions that are recorded for overhead purposes. These are daily transactions to keep your business running. Examples: Payroll Expenses, Office Supplies, or Software purchases. Trust Bookkeeping is recording of any transactions that are property only specific.

It depends on the service. Consulting and cleanup projects are priced by scope, based on the condition of your books and how much work it takes to get your records organized. Recurring bookkeeping, like Trust Bookkeeping, is priced per unit you manage instead of by the hour, so your cost adapts as your portfolio grows and our team stays focused on working efficiently. Focused services like Daily Bank Reconciliations, AP Solutions, and 1099 Filing are quoted per service.

If there is one thing that you need in order to ensure a successful business, with happy owners and tenants, it’s clean books. Sure, the other daily tasks are important, but at the end of the day, if you don’t have clean, up-to-date, books you won’t be able to make confident distributions to your owners or provide accurate statements. Clean books are the key to running a stress free business that has the ability to grow into the future by allowing you to provide documents to potential investors, auditors, and owners with ease.
