QuickBooks + Estate Agents: Faster Bank Import
Estate agents manage client money accounts, commission income, and office expenses — all requiring careful reconciliation for compliance. If you use QuickBooks for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Estate Agents Using QuickBooks
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into QuickBooks. Convert your client money and office account statements to structured spreadsheets for faster reconciliation and compliance reporting.
The Estate Agents + QuickBooks Workflow
Estate agents reconcile client money accounts holding tenant deposits and rent, match commission income against completed property sales, and track office operating expenses. Client money accounts must be reconciled separately from office accounts, with detailed records of every client fund movement maintained for compliance.
Key terms you'll encounter: client money account, completion statement, exchange of contracts, CMP scheme.
How It Works
