The Financial Lifecycle

From rent payment to owner payout, every dollar is tracked with proper double-entry bookkeeping.

1

Billing and charge generation

Monthly billing auto-generates charges for rent, recurring fees (pet, parking, utilities). Each charge creates a journal entry: DR Accounts Receivable, CR Revenue (categorized by type).

2

Payment processing

Tenant payments (Stripe or manual) create journal entries: DR Bank, CR A/R. Overpayments auto-create credits. Payment method saved for future use.

3

Bills and vendor payments

Vendor invoices uploaded with OCR auto-fill. Bill lifecycle: draft, pending, approved (creates JE), paid. Create bills from maintenance work orders. Recurring bill templates for regular expenses.

4

Owner statements and disbursements

Monthly: aggregate income, subtract expenses and management fee, calculate net distribution. AI writes a narrative summary. Disbursement via Stripe Connect to owner bank account.

5

Reconciliation and reporting

Match bank deposits to GL entries. 9 report types: portfolio analytics, financial, maintenance, compliance, deposits, leasing, MIMO, trust, tax. 1099 generation for owners and vendors.

PM Accounting Done Right

Full GL, not simplified tracking

Many PM platforms offer 'accounting' that's really just income and expense tracking. PaxRent has a real double-entry general ledger with chart of accounts, trial balance, and bank reconciliation. Same foundation used by CPA firms.

Trust fund compliance built in

Security deposit handling is state-regulated. PaxRent enforces state-specific rules for deposit limits, interest requirements, return deadlines, and commingling prevention. Competitors leave compliance to you.

Invoice OCR closes the maintenance-to-finance loop

A maintenance request generates a work order, which creates a vendor invoice (OCR-scanned), which becomes a bill (GL-integrated), which appears on the owner statement. Competitors require manual data entry at each step.
