A bookkeeper lacks specialized real estate investment (REI) accounting knowledge for handling complex depreciation, entity structures, and cost segregation for a potential client with 5 properties.

General bookkeeping courses and standard accounting software don't adequately cover REI-specific complexities like depreciation methods, multi-entity structures, and cost segregation studies required for real estate investors.

It handles multi-entity structures, automated depreciation calculations, cost segregation tracking, and generates investor-ready financial reports that comply with real estate tax regulations.

Key Features

Multi-entity management across LLCs and partnerships
Automated depreciation schedules with REI-specific methods
Cost segregation study tracking and optimization
Investor reporting with tax-ready financial statements

Target Users: Bookkeepers and accountants serving real estate investors, plus real estate investors managing 3+ properties across multiple entities

Revenue Model: $79/mo per professional user with client management tier (first 5 clients included, $10/mo per additional client)

Part of App Idea

A real estate business owner cannot find a bookkeeper willing to handle accounting for their real estate LLC, while their existing bookkeepers only work with their other non-real estate businesses.
