FAQs
Can a rule handle every transaction?
No. The current rule actions include Revenue, Expense, Fixed asset purchase, Credit card payment, Transfer to, Transfer from and Ignore it. Split rules are separate. Review the account, description, amount and money direction before applying a rule.
Can I use accounting for properties outside the United States?
Confirm the currency, address format, bank support and reporting requirements first. A report alone does not confirm that it meets local filing rules.
Can I use it for commercial properties?
Check that the available categories and reports meet your needs. Confirm any commercial-specific workflow with support before relying on it.
Does an accounting entry pay a bill or send money?
No. Recording activity is separate from collecting rent or making a payment. Check the actual payment result in its payment workflow.
Why do profit, operating performance and cash flow differ?
P&L shows revenue and expenses for the selected report source. NOI focuses on operations before financing costs and depreciation. Operating cash flow includes supported loan and escrow movements; Include fixed asset purchases (CapEx) controls asset purchases. Compare the same dates and rental scope.
Do I need tax information from Rentari?
Contact support if you need Rentari tax details. Your preparer can confirm your reporting obligations.
Are reports a budget or forecast?
Reports show the recorded activity covered by their stated source. Keep planned amounts separate from actual bookkeeping.
How do I correct a transaction?
Open the original entry and use its available edit, unbook or reversal action. Check the result before recording a replacement.
How do I record bank interest?
Review the deposit and choose the appropriate revenue account and property or portfolio scope. Check for an existing booking first.
What about payroll and benefits?
Keep the payroll provider records and agree the expense categories with your bookkeeper. Recording those costs does not run payroll.
How does a rent credit affect accounting?
Check the original charge, credit and payment separately. A credit and collected rent are different records; avoid recording the same payment twice.
Can property managers use accounting?
Yes. Keep records in the authorized property or portfolio scope. Reports > Owner statement offers Date range and Portfolio/property. Running or downloading it does not send the statement or pay an owner; reporting groups do not change access permissions.
