Hire a bookkeeper for real estate

A dedicated PCS team member, trained on your stack, in your hours, with sector context for real estate.

Real-estate businesses run two ledgers — the agency's own books and the trust account — and both punish sloppiness. A dedicated PCS bookkeeper reconciles trust transactions daily, processes commission splits and franchise fees, and keeps the agency ledger tidy in Xero or MYOB, with audit-ready evidence trails and the same-business-day responsiveness only a UTC+12 team can give ANZ agencies.

Real estate context

Why this role lands well in real estate

Real estate operations live or die on follow-up speed and CRM hygiene. Buyer enquiries arrive after hours, listings need updates daily, and vendors expect proactive communication. A nearshore Fiji team gives ANZ agencies the capacity to keep CRMs clean, qualify enquiries within minutes, and run admin-heavy workflows at a fraction of local cost — without losing the warmth and direct service style buyers and vendors expect.

Industry-specific responsibilities

Inbound buyer enquiry triage and CRM lead routing
Listing and portal updates across REA, Trade Me, Realestate.co.nz
Vendor follow-ups, appraisal coordination, and inspection bookings

PCS works with ANZ-headquartered service businesses that need fast, dedicated remote support. Real-estate-specific case studies are in development; security and operating posture are validated by ISO 27001:2022 certification.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes — that's the standard setup. Your bookkeeper works directly in your cloud accounting file with role-scoped user permissions you control. Most PCS bookkeeping clients are on Xero or MYOB; QuickBooks and NetSuite are also common.

Yes. Onboarding covers the tax-handling rules for your jurisdiction, and your bookkeeper prepares GST returns or BAS workpapers for review by you or your accountant. Final lodgement sign-off stays with your NZ/AU-registered accountant.

PCS is ISO 27001:2022 certified. Bookkeepers work on PCS-provisioned, full-disk-encrypted hardware in the Suva office, access is least-privilege and logged, and confidentiality agreements cover every engagement.

Yes, and most do. Your PCS bookkeeper handles the day-to-day ledger work and prepares month-end packs, while your accountant keeps advisory, tax, and compliance sign-off. Many accounting firms also engage PCS bookkeepers directly for client work.

Your business hours. Fiji is UTC+12 — the same business day as New Zealand and 2–3 hours ahead of the Australian east coast — so queries get answered live, not overnight.
