Hartmann & Associates serves real estate agents, brokers, property managers, and investors across Northern Nevada — with bookkeeping and tax services structured around the way your income actually works.

Accounting Built for Real Estate Income, Not a Steady Paycheck

Real Estate Finances Are Different. Your Accountant Should Be, Too.

Commission Income, Per-Property Tracking, and 1099 Season — We Handle All of It

Real estate income doesn't arrive on a schedule, and your expenses don't fit neatly into standard categories. Whether you're an agent managing commission timing or a property manager tracking income and costs property by property, lumping everything together doesn't give you a clear picture — and it makes tax season harder than it needs to be.

 

We've worked with real estate professionals long enough to know where the friction points are. Our bookkeeping and advisory services are built around the specific financial patterns of this industry — variable income, multiple revenue streams, contractor relationships, and the reporting detail that property-level decisions require.

 

  • Commission income tracked and reconciled by transaction, not just deposited and forgotten
  • Per-property income and expense reporting for investors and property managers
  • Accounts payable management and 1099 preparation for agents, brokers, and property management companies
  • Financial statements structured to show what each property or revenue stream is actually producing
  • Tax planning built around income that varies month to month and year to year
  • Business formation and entity structure guidance for agents ready to formalize their business

Two Different Roles, One Firm That Understands Both

Real estate agents and brokers face a different set of financial challenges than property managers and investors — and we work with both.

 

For agents and brokers, the core challenge is commission-based income that doesn't follow a predictable pattern. We structure your bookkeeping so you always know where you stand, track deductible business expenses accurately, and plan your tax picture around income that isn't the same every month. When 1099 season arrives, your filings are already organized — not a last-minute scramble.

 

For property managers and investors, the priority is clarity at the property level. Our financial statement preparation can be structured to show income, expenses, and net performance for each property separately, so you're making decisions based on real numbers rather than a blended total that hides what's working and what isn't. We also manage accounts payable and vendor tracking, so contractor payments and year-end 1099s stay organized throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you work with both real estate agents and property managers?

    Yes. We work with agents and brokers managing commission-based income as well as property managers and investors who need per-property financial tracking. The bookkeeping and reporting structure we set up is tailored to how your business actually operates.

  • How do you handle bookkeeping for commission-based income?

    We track commissions by transaction and reconcile them against your business expenses on an ongoing basis. Rather than waiting until year-end to make sense of your income, we keep your books current so you always have an accurate picture — and so tax planning can happen throughout the year, not just in April.

  • Can you prepare financial statements at the individual property level?

    Yes. For property managers and investors, we can structure financial statement preparation to show income and expenses broken out by property. That level of detail makes it easier to evaluate performance, make acquisition or disposition decisions, and present clean financials to lenders or partners.

  • Do you manage 1099 filings for contractors and agents?

    We do. As part of our accounts payable management and year-end services, we track contractor and agent payments throughout the year and handle 1099 preparation when the time comes. If your business pays multiple contractors or splits commissions with other agents, staying organized year-round makes that process straightforward.

  • Do I need to come into your Sparks office, or can we work together remotely?

    Either works. We offer virtual bookkeeping and remote services for clients across Northern Nevada, and we also meet in person at our Sparks office when that's preferred. Most of our real estate clients work with us in a mix of both — remote for day-to-day bookkeeping and in-person for planning conversations.
