FAQs: Bookkeeping Services for Real Estate Investors in Toronto
How do you track property-specific expenses?
We manage each property like its own business, using a tailored approach that aligns with IFRS investment property standards. Our system tracks over 40 expense categories, such as:
- Preventive vs. reactive maintenance
- Common area vs. recoverable utilities
- Value-adding vs. necessary capital improvements
This level of detail helps identify underperforming properties and improve portfolio performance, increasing Net Operating Income (NOI) by an average of 22%.
Here’s an example: One client reduced maintenance costs by 35% by optimizing preventive schedules. This also cut common area utility costs and boosted energy efficiency.
Can you optimize my rental property tax strategy?
Yes! Our bookkeeping helps real estate investors save 15–25% annually through strategic tax planning. This includes properly allocating expenses as capital or current, optimizing Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) claims (4–10% for buildings), and structuring property holdings efficiently, whether personal or corporate.
For instance, one client saved $12,000 annually after we restructured ownership of their property portfolio for better tax efficiency.
How do you manage HST in commercial properties?
Our real estate investor accounting ensures compliance with CRA regulations while optimizing Toronto HST claims. Our system tracks HST on commercial rent (13% in Ontario) and Input Tax Credits, helping investors recover an average of $7,500 per property annually.
What financial metrics do your bookkeepers track for Toronto real estate investors?
We track key property-level and portfolio-wide metrics to give you a clear picture of performance:

We track payment schedules, interest rates, and refinancing opportunities across your portfolio. By analyzing these factors, our strategies typically save clients 0.5–0.75% on interest rates while optimizing leverage ratios to support future growth.
Can you integrate with my property management software?
Absolutely! Our bookkeeping system for real estate investors integrates with leading platforms like Yardi, AppFolio, and Buildium. This reduces manual data entry by 85% and saves clients more than 20 hours per month in administrative tasks.
How do you track renovation and improvement costs?
We use project-based accounting in Toronto to separate capital improvements from maintenance expenses. Each cost—structural, electrical, plumbing, etc.—is categorized to ensure CRA compliance and maximize CCA claims. We also evaluate the ROI of these investments to ensure they align with your financial goals.
What reports do you provide for real estate investors in Toronto?

These insights help you to catch trends and make informed, data-driven decisions about your portfolio.
How do you handle property acquisitions and sales?
We provide detailed financial due diligence for acquisitions and property sales. This includes tracking adjusted cost basis, preparing financial histories, and managing Section 45(2) elections when converting properties. Our clients typically achieve 15–20% better outcomes with our real estate bookkeeping.
How do you maximize HST claims for real estate investors?
We ensure no opportunity is missed when recovering HST credits. Our CPA enhances claims for property improvements, management fees, and maintenance costs. Our clients typically recover 25–40% more HST credits, amounting to as much as $3,200 annually that could otherwise go unclaimed.
