      Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Most property managers and landlords handle all their accounting right within Rentec Direct. Rentec Direct provides full income and expense tracking, along with assets, liabilities, and equity accounts. Rentec Direct reports include all traditional accounting reports, including Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports. Most accounting firms rely on these reports to review and complete your books and taxes, and have no need for QuickBooks\u00ae integration or import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you do have a hybrid system, where you enter some transactions into Rentec Direct and others into QuickBooks\u00ae, the import process outlined here can help you eliminate double-entry in both systems, but still requires work in QuickBooks\u00ae to match up and categorize transactions. You can also post summarized transactions into QuickBooks\u00aeto keep the two systems aligned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For example: Run a Profit & Loss report for a statement period, and import the total of each category as a single transaction into <\/em>QuickBooks\u00ae.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
