Ascent Multifamily Accounting, which exclusively serves the multifamily industry, is now offering corporate accounting services for multifamily management companies throughout the country. Ascent provides accounting and back office services for 38,000 units and in 2020 was listed among the Inc. 500 fastest growing private companies in America.
“Corporate accounting takes all property accounting and ties it together,” said Paul Ray, Ascent Multifamily Accounting’s corporate accounting manager. “We have seen a growing need for corporate accounting in the past few years, and are the first property management accounting firm to offer these services.”
“Prior to launching our corporate accounting division, Ascent had been performing corporate accounting work as a special service to clients that we were already representing for property accounting,” said Ray. “Corporate accounting is a growing need for property owners who don’t have in-house accounting staff handling their books. By working with us, they have a cohesive team that understands the profitability of each of their properties and how that affects their overall financial status at all times.”
Ascent’s primary accounting services are tailored for each individual property, but those property owners incur expenses and draw asset and property management fees, said Ray. “With corporate accounting, we provide our clients with a value-added service,” he said. “It is important for them to understand and know the health of their business overall. As much as they need to know how their properties are performing, they also need to know how their own company is performing.”
Among Ascent’s corporate accounting services are:
Financial statement preparation
Expense management
Income management
Investor capital and distribution management
Corporate bill-backs
Credit card account reconciliation
Communication with CPAs
