Does AppFolio handle bookkeeping automatically?

While AppFolio automates rent collection and data entry, it does not 'do' the bookkeeping. You still need an expert to perform bank reconciliations, audit trust accounts for compliance, and ensure that management fees and owner draws are recorded accurately to prevent legal liability.

Can you help clean up a messy AppFolio ledger?

Yes. We specialize in AppFolio 'rescue' projects. If your owner statements are incorrect or your bank accounts don't reconcile, we can perform a deep cleanup to bring your portfolio back into compliance.

Which AppFolio plans do you support?

Maxim Liberty supports all AppFolio tiers, including Core, Plus, and Premium. We are experts in the 'AppFolio Stack' integrations and advanced data analytics available in higher-tier plans.

AppFolio Property Management

AppFolio is one of the most powerful tools in the property management industry, but its complexity can be overwhelming. Simply having the software doesn't guarantee clean books. Without professional oversight, trust accounts can fall out of balance, owner statements can become inaccurate, and your data can become a liability during an audit.
