Portfolio reporting
Roll management fees, building improvements, and tenant improvements across every property into one consolidated report.
Traceable, audit-ready detail
Drill to base rent per tenant, recovery amounts, base year, and pro-rata share. Every number traces back to source.
Any accounting system
Import by spreadsheet from any accounting system, with ready-made interface reports for Yardi and MRI. Export to Yardi, MRI, VTS, and JDE, or as Excel or CSV for any other system.
