AI real estate accounting and bookkeeping
Real estate accounting.
Every property, its own P&L.
Know how every property performs.
Rent deposits, repairs, insurance, property taxes and capital improvements all land in the same accounts. Zeni tags each one to the right property and our finance team closes the books, so every property has numbers you can trust. The same platform closes the books for 1,000+ customers.¹
Zeni sets everything up for your real estate business and connects your banks, cards and payroll. Our team manages the AI agents and reviews the work. With other accounting software, keeping the agents working is your job. With Zeni, it's ours.

What is real estate accounting?
Real estate accounting is bookkeeping and reporting for investors, owners and operators: rental income, operating expenses, repairs versus capital improvements, depreciation, and results by property. Zeni's AI Accountant codes activity as it lands, and your Zeni team closes the books each month.
Every number comes with its reasoning.
Each AI suggestion arrives with its reasoning and confidence, so you and your Zeni team can see why a repair bill or rent deposit landed on a property. Approval rules route bills to the right person, and nothing changes in a closed period. Change history on every entry keeps lender, partner and tax reviews simple.
