Deals, commissions, and entities that reconcile. QuickBooks, QuickBooks, fixed fee. Free assessment.
Austin scales faster than its back office — revenue arrives before the systems do, and the books are usually the last thing to catch up. For real estate investors, agents and property managers across Travis County — from downtown and South Congress to the Domain and East Austin — that shows up as twelve doors, one account — per-property performance is unknowable and tax time is archaeology and deposits treated as income and capex expensed wrong distort both taxes and refi appraisals
Steven Palmieri works remotely with Austin owners in a market defined by a technology-and-startup boom layered over hospitality and creative small business. We set up per-property (or per-agent) tracking, fix deposit and CapEx treatment, and hand your CPA books that match the closing statements. You get a documented before/after trail your CPA can verify — no offshore rush job, no judgment about how far behind the books have slipped.
You're not bad at business. The books just stopped telling the truth about deals and properties.
Splits, referrals, and chargebacks never land cleanly — agent economics stay political.
Personal, LLC, and brokerage cash mingle until tax season becomes an excavation.
Capex, repairs, and income never sit in one trustworthy view.
Two minutes. No document dump. Just the truth about how behind it feels.
We clean commissions, entities, and property-level economics into a board you can run.
Backlog cleared. Accounts reconciled. A before/after report you — and your CPA — can act on.
Real estate cleanup: commissions, entities, properties — clear ownership of every dollar.
Every account reconciled and every anomaly documented before we change a thing.
The backlog cleared with real estate business-correct categories — not a generic chart of accounts.
A before/after summary and a simple monthly rhythm so it stays clean after we leave.
If our assessment can’t show you exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix, the assessment costs you nothing — no obligation either way.
“Finally handed my CPA a clean QuickBooks file instead of a shoebox.”
“Every door has its own P&L now.”
“Refi went smoothly because the books matched the appraisal package.”
