A South Shore Community With Sophisticated Needs
The Five Towns, including Lawrence, Inwood, Cedarhurst, Woodmere and Hewlett, have long been home to entrepreneurs, attorneys, physicians and investors. Nearby commercial strips feature boutiques, kosher food businesses, salons, medical offices and service firms. Not far away, JFK Airport supports freight forwarders and travel-related companies.
Owners here often juggle more than one entity: an operating company, a building held in a separate LLC, perhaps a side investment. Each needs its own clean set of books, and together they need to make sense.
Keeping Multiple Entities Straight
When money moves between related companies, records can tangle quickly. We help Lawrence owners by:
- Maintaining a separate ledger for every LLC or corporation
- Recording intercompany loans and rent so both sides match
- Reconciling each entity's bank accounts monthly
- Producing a combined summary so you see the whole picture
That structure makes year-end far simpler for your CPA and protects the separation that entities are designed to provide.
Rental Property Books Without the Shoebox
Many Five Towns families own rental properties, from a two-family home to small commercial buildings. Good rental bookkeeping tracks:
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Rent by unit | Spots late payers and vacancies |
| Security deposits | Held as liabilities, not income |
| Repairs vs. improvements | Treated differently for taxes |
| Mortgage principal and interest | Only interest is an expense |
| Property taxes and insurance | Major fixed costs to budget |
We set this up per property and send monthly statements your property manager and tax preparer can both use. Owners with several buildings also get a side-by-side comparison, which makes it obvious when one property's maintenance costs are creeping up or when rents have fallen behind the market. Those insights help you decide whether to renovate, refinance or sell.
Statements That Satisfy Banks and Partners
Refinancing a building, bringing in a partner or applying for a business line of credit all start with financial statements. We prepare reconciled profit and loss statements, balance sheets and cash flow summaries, then walk you through them before you hand them over. We don't perform audits, but our statements are built carefully from verified records. See financial statement preparation.
Notarizing the Paperwork That Comes With Deals
Leases, affidavits, loan documents and corporate resolutions often need a notary's stamp. We provide notary public services in person at our Old Bridge, New Jersey office by appointment. Many clients schedule a notary visit alongside an annual planning meeting to handle everything in one trip, bringing a valid photo ID and leaving documents unsigned until they're in front of the notary.
Discreet, Attentive Service
Lawrence clients value discretion and responsiveness. You'll work directly with Natalie Montealegre, MBA, whose mix of business and psychology training makes difficult money conversations, such as family members disagreeing about distributions, a little easier. Communication is secure and online, in English or Spanish.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Should each of my rental properties have its own LLC and set of books?
Many investors use separate LLCs for liability reasons, but that's a legal decision best made with your attorney. Whatever structure you choose, each entity needs its own bank account and books. We maintain them separately and provide a consolidated view so you can compare properties.
How do you handle money moving between my companies?
We record every transfer as an intercompany loan, rent or management fee, with matching entries on both sides. Documenting the purpose of each transfer keeps entities properly separated and gives your CPA a clear trail at year end.
Can you prepare statements for a refinance?
Yes. Lenders usually ask for recent profit and loss statements, a balance sheet, rent rolls and a schedule of existing debt. We assemble and reconcile these from your books. The lending decision is the bank's, but organized documentation keeps the process moving.
Are your notary services available in Lawrence?
Notary appointments take place in person at our Old Bridge, New Jersey office. Bookkeeping and advisory work happen online, so the only travel involved is for documents that require an in-person signature.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes. We can receive monthly owner statements from your property manager, reconcile them to bank deposits and record expenses properly, so your books reflect what actually happened at each building.
