Real Estate Consultancy Accounting Reconstruction and QuickBooks Migration

Quick summary: BPOAS helped an anonymous real estate consultancy move from outdated, difficult-to-rely-on accounting records to clearer client receivables and project reporting. The work included reconstructing opening balances and current-year transactions, migrating from Peachtree to QuickBooks, rebuilding accounts receivable, and creating work-in-progress and project invoicing reports.

Project overview

The consultancy used an older Peachtree accounting system, and routine transaction entry was handled administratively without regular accountant oversight. Over time, the books became difficult to use for management reporting. The owner mainly monitored the bank balance, which showed available cash but did not explain unpaid client invoices, collection status or the financial progress of individual projects.

The priority was to reconstruct reliable customer balances and give management a practical way to compare project contract values with amounts invoiced and work still to be billed.

The accounting and reporting challenges

Opening balances and current-year transactions needed reconstruction.
Client-level accounts receivable balances were not clearly available for review.
There was no useful routine report showing which clients owed money and how much.
Project contract values, invoices raised and amounts not yet billed were not visible together.
Project information was not organised in a shared structure for the owner and engineers to check.

How BPOAS helped

BPOAS reconstructed the opening balances and current-year transactions, focusing particularly on customer accounts and receivables. We moved the accounting records from Peachtree to QuickBooks and helped establish a more structured accounting workflow. We then rebuilt accounts receivable information by client so management could see outstanding balances that had previously been difficult to assess.

To connect accounting with project delivery, we developed a work-in-progress report and an Excel project tracker. For each project, the tracker showed the contract price, the amount invoiced to date and the remaining amount not yet billed. This helped management review the relationship between project values and billing progress.

We also created an organised folder structure for client and project information. The owner and engineers could refer to project records and status information when discussing delivery and following up on unpaid invoices. BPOAS trained the administrative staff on the accounting workflow and recommended regular accountant oversight to support the ongoing quality of the books and reports.

Outcome

The reconstructed records and client-level receivables reporting gave the owner clearer visibility of outstanding customer balances. The project tracker made contract value, invoicing to date and unbilled amounts easier to review together, while the project folders gave the owner and engineers a more consistent place to check project information and coordinate collection follow-up.

The QuickBooks migration, staff training and recommendation for ongoing accountant oversight established a more structured foundation for maintaining the records and reviewing performance beyond the bank balance alone.

Common questions

What was the main issue with the company’s accounting records?

The older accounting setup and lack of regular accountant oversight meant management did not have clear, routine reporting for client receivables or project billing progress.

What did the project tracker show?

It showed each project’s contract price, amounts invoiced to date and amounts remaining to be billed, alongside work-in-progress information.

How did the engineers use the project folders?

The shared project folders gave the engineers and owner a place to check project information and status when coordinating delivery and following up on unpaid invoices.
