Challenges
The estate agency in Surrey faced the challenge of improving rent collection processes, controlling operational spending, and obtaining more accurate management reports to assess the profitability of each property. Inefficiencies in rent collection and inconsistent spending oversight were impacting their ability to make informed financial decisions. Without precise reporting on the profit and loss of each property, it became difficult for the client to gauge performance and take timely actions to improve profitability.
Our Approach
We provided comprehensive accounting and administrative support to address these issues. By managing key property management tasks, we helped the client tighten their rent collection process, monitor spending more effectively, and generate accurate, detailed financial reports. This gave the client the visibility and control they needed to optimize profitability for each property in their portfolio.
