For property managers and trust administrators, bank reconciliations are part of the job, but do you reconcile daily?
Blogger: John Goddard, general manager of marketing and sales at Rockend
Welcome to the first Rockend blog entry!
We’re excited to be a part of the RPM family and we’ll be bringing you lots of industry news and handy tips for the savvy property manager in the upcoming months.
For our first entry we thought we’d share a great little video we made to help you through one of the most trying aspects of being a property manager; bank reconciliations!
For property managers and trust administrators, bank reconciliations are part of the job, but do you reconcile daily?
A bank reconciliation is making sure all of the receipts and payments in your agency’s bank account matches your trust accounting software.
In most regions, monthly bank reconciliations are mandatory to ensure the funds are accounted for. But seriously, who can remember everything that happened a whole month ago?
That is why reconciling daily will help you to find any misplaced money and rectify those errors before they become problems at the end of the month.
Remember: you are dealing with other people’s money.
A successful daily bank reconciliation, equals very happy clients, and a happier you.
Hope you enjoy the video!
