Tatjana Day, Director of ManageMe looks at the real cost of employing staff.
Daily Receipting Overview
Trust accounting which includes Daily Receipting of rent and utilities, is a key process in ensuring that accurate records are maintained by a Property Management company. The result being that the bank account used for handling payments and receipts on behalf of owners and tenants is reflected correctly in the trust account property management software.
Daily receipting tasks include;
- Importing the bank files
- Downloading and identifying the unmatched transactions
- Creating manual receipts for tenants and owners
- Allocating money to “Withheld Funds”
- Receipting and assigning “Unknown Funds”
- Daily Reconciling of your bank account
It sounds like a tedious process – well it definitely is! It’s also time-sensitive and repetitive as it should be done every single day.
Often the Trust Administration process falls under the Administrator’s role within a Property Management Business. It can be painful and time-consuming when confronted with issues and is a difficult task to cover when your Administrator goes on leave or is off sick.
