EPMS Escalated Property Management Systems Get in touch

Trust accounting

Owner money, kept separate and provable.

Most systems bolt accounting on and hope the export reconciles. EPMS keeps a real double-entry ledger with a per-owner subledger inside it, so the question an auditor asks has an answer you can run.

The check that matters

Three-way reconciliation.

The specific test a trust audit applies: your master trust liability, the sum of every owner's individual subledger balance, and the actual cash sitting in the trust account all have to agree. EPMS runs that as a report, not an afternoon in a spreadsheet.

  • Trust liabilityWhat the books say you hold
  • Owner subledgersSummed across every owner
  • Cash on handWhat is actually in the account

Owner statements

Generated in batch, or overnight without you.

Batch
Generate across many owners at once, searchable by owner name or unit code, with the ability to review and void.
Automatic
A nightly service generates the previous month's statements on its own, skipping owners already done, and emails a summary of the run.
Frozen
A statement is a snapshot sourced from posted payables, so reopening it next year shows what it showed the day it was sent.
Visible to the owner
The same statement appears in the owner's own portal login, with line items they can expand.

Banking

Money actually leaving the building.

Bank deposits

Build a deposit from received payments and reconcile it against the statement.

Reconcile bank account

Full reconciliation against your real bank activity, period by period.

Credit card settlements

Log and reconcile settlement batches against what actually landed.

Print checks

Owner and vendor checks printed from the ledger they were posted to.

Generate ACH file

A real NACHA-format file for your bank — not a report about payments, the payment file itself.

Commission sweep

Move earned commission from the trust account to operating, on the books, with an audit trail.

Receivable and payable

Both sides, posted to the ledger.

Take payments against a reservation or directly from an owner, with a full payments, refunds, and credits ledger showing what has been posted and what hasn't. Payables covers everything you'd expect:

  • Enter bills
  • Pay owners
  • Pay open items
  • Pay refunds
  • View bills and refunds
  • View payments
  • Open items
  • Business A/P
