Frequently Asked Questions
What does a trust accountant do?
A trust accountant manages client or company trust accounts, ensuring accurate records, reconciliations, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. They prepare reports, monitor transactions, and maintain transparency in financial management.
What is the biggest risk of managing trust accounts in-house?
The single biggest risk of managing trust accounts in-house is non-compliance, leading to significant penalties and licence jeopardy.
Administrative oversights, such as failing to reconcile within the prescribed timeframe or incorrectly disbursing funds, are common.
An outsourced trust accountant dramatically lowers this risk because they are compliance specialists whose primary function is to strictly adhere to all state-based legislative requirements and audit standards.
Are your outsourced trust accountants compliant with Australian state-based legislation?
Absolutely. Our outsourced trust accountants are specialists who are specifically trained and experienced in adhering to the highly detailed and state-specific legislation.
Compliance is their core function. They are proficient in managing accounts for various industry regulators (e.g., Fair Trading, Law Societies) and maintain expertise in common trust accounting software and audit preparation processes.
We ensure they stay current with any regulatory changes, giving your firm a consistent edge in compliance.
When is the best time for my real estate agency to hire an outsourced trust accountant?
The best time to hire an outsourced trust accountant is either when you are experiencing rapid growth (and the current team is overwhelmed) or, crucially, when your current manual systems are causing recurring compliance stress.
If your portfolio is expanding, or if the principal/owner is still personally managing reconciliations, you are already too late. Outsourcing provides the scalable, reliable expertise required to professionalise your compliance and free up key local staff to focus entirely on income-generating activities.
