Real Estate Accounting Specialists
Every HUD statement,
posted correctly,
into the right Zoho Books.
We’re a bookkeeping team built specifically for multi-entity real estate operators — currently managing books for 20+ LLCs. Our process combines AI-powered HUD extraction, human-reviewed validation, and automated Zoho Books posting, so every closing lands in the right entity, correctly classified, the first time.

Step audit-ready workflow
0
Manual spreadsheet re-entry
Stylized settlement statement card showing HUD line items (101 Contract sales price, 201 Earnest money deposit, 202 Loan amount, 1000 Escrow reserves) with a “Validated” stamp flowing into three ledger accounts (Property Asset / Debit, Mortgage Payable / Credit, Escrow Asset / Debit)
Manual HUD accounting doesn't scale past a few entities.
01
Duplicate earnest money postings
Deposits get entered twice across CRM and books, throwing off cash balances at the entity level.
02
Incorrect property basis
Closing costs get expensed instead of capitalized, distorting basis and future depreciation schedules.
03
Escrow misclassification
Reserve accounts and prepaid items get lumped into the wrong buckets, so escrow never reconciles cleanly.
04
Loan setup errors
Mortgage payable balances don't match the note, and origination fees aren't tracked as deferred financing costs.
05
Delayed reconciliations
Bank feeds sit unmatched for weeks because closing entries never made it into the books consistently.
06
Poor multi-entity visibility
Ownership can't see portfolio-wide performance because each LLC's books live in a different spreadsheet or inbox.
From closing document to reconciled books — one repeatable workflow.
Every HUD statement moves through the same 15-step process, whether it’s your first closing this month or your fortieth. AI handles extraction and routing; your accounting team keeps final approval on every entry.
01
Receive & upload
HUD-1s and Closing Disclosures arrive from title companies, escrow officers, attorneys, lenders, or your acquisitions team — in whatever format they come in — and are filed into a structured document library by LLC, property, and closing date.

02
AI extraction
OCR and AI parsing read every line of the settlement statement — key-value pairs, tables, signatures, and closing line items and stage the data for review instead of relying on manual transcription.
OCR + AI parsing
03
Smart validation
Before anything touches your books, our review team checks purchase price, loan amount, commission, taxes, escrow balances, and cash to close against balance and duplicate-detection rules — same property, same closing date, same escrow number.
Human-reviewed
04
LLC identification & routing
Every transaction is matched to the correct entity and the correct Zoho Books organization automatically, so nothing gets posted to the wrong LLC.
Automated routing
05
Accounting mapping & journal entries
Each HUD line is mapped to the correct chart of accounts — property asset, mortgage payable, earnest money, escrow reserves, commission expense, prepaid insurance — and posted as a balanced journal entry, along with supporting vendor bills, loan liabilities, and AP/AR allocations.
