You close deals. I close the books.
Running a real estate brokerage is not like running most businesses.
Your revenue arrives in chunks tied to closings, not a predictable monthly cycle. Your agents are independent contractors – each one with their own split arrangement, their own production volume, and their own expectations when commission day arrives. And every January, you’re producing 1099s for every agent who crossed the threshold.
Most bookkeepers aren’t built for that. They’ll categorize basic transactions well enough, but they won’t understand why your P&L looks the way it does in March versus October. They won’t flag a split calculation that doesn’t match your agent agreements.
I do.
What I Handle for Real Estate Brokerages
- Commission split tracking and reconciliation across your full agent roster
- High-volume transaction processing – month-end closes that keep pace with your deal flow
- 1099-NEC preparation for your agents at year-end
- Payroll for W-2 staff alongside 1099 management for your agents
- AR management – tracking outstanding splits, agent draws, and balance owed
- Monthly financial statements that reflect how your brokerage actually operates
- Tax preparation for the brokerage (S-Corp or partnership, as an add-on for bookkeeping clients)
What Working With Me Looks Like
I work remotely with clients across Washington State, and I’m familiar with the rhythms of the Seattle-area real estate market. I keep things simple: clean books, clear communication, no surprises.
Your books should reflect how your brokerage actually works.
