Real estate bookkeeping for Los Angeles investors & developers
LA runs on ADUs, six-figure rehabs, and deals stacked across entities. At these price points a bookkeeping mistake isn’t a rounding error. It’s a five-figure blind spot. Development-grade cost accounting, per-unit ADU tracking, and books your lender funds against.
Remote-first. Books served the same whether you’re across the street or across the state line.

The market, from the books side
What LA investing does to your books
The ADU boom has an accounting problem
Per-unit cost tracking, capitalized carry during the build, and cost-to-complete reporting. Almost nobody keeps ADU books at development grade. We do, and it shows the day you sit down with a construction lender.
LA price points punish sloppy books
A $250k rehab booked as “repairs” is a $250k distortion of your P&L. Flip WIP discipline matters everywhere; at LA numbers it decides whether your financials are usable at all.
Entity stacks need untangling
LA operators layer LLCs for liability and lending reasons. Then the entities start paying each other’s bills. We reconcile due-to/due-from monthly so every entity stands on its own at refi time.

Los Angeles questions, answered
What makes ADU accounting different from a regular rehab?
An ADU build is development: costs capitalize per unit, carry (interest, taxes, insurance) capitalizes during construction, and lenders want cost-to-complete per phase, not a lump ‘construction’ number. We track all three as a matter of course.
My deals run through multiple LLCs with different partners. Can you keep it clean?
Yes, that structure is normal for LA operators. Each entity closes on its own books, inter-entity balances reconcile monthly, and partner-level reporting comes out of the same discipline.
Can you support a construction loan draw process?
Yes. Draw documentation is packaged to your lender’s format with cost backup organized, so draws fund in days. At Finance Partner, lender packages stay current permanently. No more scrambling.
What does bookkeeping cost for an LA operator?
Published tiers from $1,247 to $9,997/mo depending on scope. Most LA operators with active pipelines land at Back Office or Finance Partner. Every scope limit is public on the pricing page.
