Built by a landlord, for landlords
Hi, I’m Tom.
Owning rental property comes with a steady stream of decisions, interruptions, and responsibilities. Between tenants, repairs, payments, and projects, it’s easy for bookkeeping to fall down the list.
I understand that because I own rental properties myself. I started Rental Bookkeeper to help other landlords get the same sense of organization I found in Stessa.
Yes. We work exclusively in Stessa, and clients maintain a Stessa Pro subscription with collaborator access for Rental Bookkeeper. You keep ownership of your account.
Appropriate collaborator access in Stessa and your rental bank and credit card accounts connected there. You connect your financial accounts yourself and complete any bank verification. You do not need to send us your bank passwords.
No. Our focus is bookkeeping. Property management, tax preparation, and investment advice remain with you and the professionals you choose for those services.
