OJO Bookkeeping fully supports your Appfolio or Buildium software for trust accounting bookkeeping activities.
Every property you manage eventually has bills that need to be paid, whether it be periodic maintenance, utilities while vacant, monthly bills, or annual HOA dues. Your OJO Bookkeeper keeps your payables up to date.
For some owners, their monthly statement may be the only communication they receive from you. Your OJO Bookkeeper understands the importance of timely, accurate, and descriptive statements.
For property managers who send monthly tenant statements, your OJO Bookkeeper will process and send your tenants statements according to your company’s policy and procedures.
While many tenants pay rent online, there are always those who pay in-person, requiring manual rent receipt entry and a bank deposit to be recorded. While you make the physical bank deposit, your OJO Bookkeeper ensures timely and accurate entries in Appfolio or Buildium. For those who pay rent late, your OJO Bookkeeper will happily process tenant late notifications.
It is inevitable that you will occasionally receive physical checks from owners and other sources. While you will make the physical deposit into your bank account, your OJO Bookkeeper ensures timely and accurate entries of both the receipt and the bank deposit.
Whether you post a single or daily late-rent fee, you can be assured that your OJO Bookkeeper has your tenant’s balances current at all times.
OJO understands the importance (and legal requirements) of never co-mingling funds between management and trust accounts.
OJO Bookkeeping is experienced in and fully supports Appfolio & Buildium, QuickBooks Online, or Xero software for management / business account bookkeeping activities. OJO doesn’t sell software, we use your Appfolio or Buildium, QuickBooks Online, or Xero.
The primary way that your management company receives income is from management (and other) fees received from your owners. While you make the physical bank deposits, your OJO Bookkeeper will record all income receipts and deposits made to your management account.
Accurate reconciliation with your bank is the cornerstone of your accounting system. Your OJO Bookkeeper ensures your books are always up to date and accurate.
Entering bills to be paid is an integral part of the A/P system. Your OJO Bookkeeper takes scanned copies of your bills and inputs them into the system….it’s as easy as that.
Whether you pay your bills electronically or by mailing physical checks, it’s often thought that this can’t be done securely with a remote bookkeeper. OJO’s system makes the process safe and secure…because we never have access to your bank account(s).

Paying bills (printing checks) is as easy as printing a document that your OJO Bookkeeper emails to you.
LEARN MORE
Paying bills (Accounts Payable / AP) used to be a chore….updating your books…figuring out who needed to be paid and when…..checking your bank balance to be sure you had enough money….deciding who gets paid and who doesn’t….what a hassle! With your OJO Bookkeeper, this is all done for you!
Your OJO Bookkeeper decides who gets paid and when.
How do they do this? With some simple guidelines from you:
Your OJO Bookkeeper “prints” your checks to a PDF file. This file is emailed to you and you very easily print it onto your blank check stock. Thus, your OJO Bookkeeper never has access to your physical checks or bank account, keeping your money safe and under your total control. (Read more about this in our Security section.)
Do you pay your bills electronically? No problem…instead of emailing a PDF file to you, your OJO Bookkeeper will email a detailed report explaining who to pay, how much to pay them, what invoices are being paid, and when to pay them. Simple! And you are still in total control of your money and bank account.
