Do you relate to any of these issues?
01 / NO FORMAL BOOKKEEPING SYSTEM IN PLACE?
When bookkeeping isn’t organized, managing tenants, expenses, and property performance becomes overwhelming, putting both compliance and cash flow at risk.
02 / MIXING PERSONAL AND BUSINESS FINANCES?
When personal and property finances overlap, it creates confusion, makes it harder to track property performance, and increases the risk of tax issues.
03 / DIFFICULTY TRACKING MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS?
Without organized bookkeeping, rental payments, management fees, and property income can get overwhelming, making it hard to see where your money is really going.
04 / NO UNDERSTANDING OF MONTHLY PROFIT OR CASH FLOW?
Without knowing how much your business actually earns or spends each month, it’s tough to make smart financial decisions. You might be bringing in sales but still running out of cash.
05 / FREQUENT LATE NIGHTS PREPARING FOR TAX SEASON?
If tax time means scrambling through receipts and catching up on months of bookkeeping, it’s a sign your financial records aren’t up to date. This last-minute rush can lead to errors, missed deductions, and unnecessary stress.
06 / OVERWHELMED WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE LOAD OF RUNNING A BUSINESS?
Juggling tasks like bookkeeping, invoicing, emails, and scheduling can quickly pile up and take your focus away from serving clients or growing your business.
If this feels like your story, you’re in the right place.
As a real estate business owner, your time is best spent growing your business and serving your clients, not getting bogged down by bookkeeping. That’s where I step in. My specialized bookkeeping solutions will help you save time, minimize stress, and achieve financial clarity without breaking the bank.
Real Estate Bookkeeping Practices

SET UP A CHART OF ACCOUNTS
A customized chart of accounts for real estate provides clear categories for rental income, property expenses, loans and assets, making it easier to track each property’s financial performance and maintain organized, accurate records.

TRACK INCOME
Accurately recording rental payments, lease deposits, and other real estate income ensures reliable financial tracking, helps identify profitable properties, and supports clear reporting for taxes and decision-making.

Behind the books
I’M ELGIN, THE BRAINS & HEART BEHIND METCB.
Over the last 12 years, I’ve worn many hats and taken on countless responsibilities throughout my career, which means I’m no stranger to managing chaos, finding creative solutions, and making sure everyone (and everything) is taken care of. While my days often start with a cup of coffee and a to-do list, they’re filled with more than just routines—they’re filled with purpose.
To me, bookkeeping isn’t just about numbers. It’s about understanding your story. Behind every invoice, every expense, and every bank statement is a journey of hard work, resilience, and ambition, and I love helping make sense of it all and bring structure to that story, turning messy numbers into meaningful insights.
Helping others feel financially organized and empowered isn’t just my job. It’s something I truly enjoy. Because when your numbers make sense, everything else flows a little easier. And that’s a story I’m proud to be part of.
