FreshBooks + Letting Agents: Faster Bank Import
Letting agents managing tenant deposits, rent collection, and landlord payments across client money accounts need meticulous reconciliation. If you use FreshBooks for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Letting Agents Using FreshBooks
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV / OFX formatted for direct import into FreshBooks. Convert your client money account statements to Excel for fast reconciliation of rent receipts, deposit transfers, and management fee deductions.
The Letting Agents + FreshBooks Workflow
Letting agents collect rent from tenants into client money accounts, deduct management fees, pay landlords their net rent, handle deposit protection scheme transfers, and manage maintenance contractor payments. Monthly landlord statements must reconcile exactly with the client money account bank statement, with every penny accounted for.
Key terms you'll encounter: client money protection, landlord statement, tenant deposit scheme, management fee.
