Bookkeeping for Real Estate Media
Stop guessing where you stand.
Monthly bookkeeping built only for real estate media — clear numbers, every month.
Why business owners hire Abakus
- We only work with real estate media — nothing about your business needs explaining
- Your books stay reconciled and current every month, not once a year at tax time
- Reports you can actually read — no accounting degree required
- A real person answers your questions, usually before you finish asking
- Profit First and Relay-friendly, if that's how you run things
- CPA-ready reports, so tax time is a breeze!
60-second reality check
How many of these can you answer right now?
- What was your true profit last month — after every expense?
- How much could you safely pay yourself this month?
- How much of your cash is really yours — versus owed to taxes?
- Are your books reconciled and current through last month?
- If a lender asked for a clean P&L tomorrow, could you send it today?
If you paused on even one question, your books aren't giving you the full picture. Every decision — pricing, hiring, buying gear — becomes a guess. Putting these answers at your fingertips is exactly what we do.
From guessing to knowing
Running on guesswork
- “I think it was a good month” — but not sure
- Books months or weeks behind
- Expenses miscategorized, or reports misfiled
- Tax season is a mystery, every year
- Every month is a rough guess, not a real number
Running on real numbers
- A profit number you trust, every month
- Books reconciled and current in QuickBooks Online
- Clean categories built for real estate media
- Reports always ready — taxes, loans, or you
- Know your numbers any day you ask

Three steps to knowing exactly where you stand
We set up your QuickBooks — the right way
We set your QuickBooks Online up properly — or clean up what's there — so your accounts, categories, and numbers finally tell the truth.
We keep it current — every month
Each month we reconcile, categorize, and close your books, then hand you reports you actually understand. No wondering, no falling behind.
You finally know your numbers
Open your books any time and see the truth — profit, cash, where it all goes. So you can make big decisions with facts, not guesses.
The numbers you'll finally have
Your real profit

Free ResourcesQuestions before you book?
Do you file my taxes?
No — we're bookkeepers, not accountants. Your reports stay CPA-ready, so your tax preparer has exactly what they need. We gladly work alongside them.
My books are a mess, or months behind. Is that a problem?
That's most of our new clients. We'll get you set up with a fresh QuickBooks account and catch you up before we start the monthly rhythm.
What if I'm just getting started?
Perfect — our Getting Started plan is built for newer businesses, and ramps up as you grow.
Do you work inside my QuickBooks?
Yes, and you stay primary admin the whole time. It's your data, your account, always.
