A service charge account is specifically used in the property management industry. Such accounts are used by landlords, property management companies or property investment companies to collect service charges from tenants, lessees or leaseholders.
As these charges come under increasing scrutiny, residents are placing collective pressure and demands on their Managing Agent to provide independently reviewed or audited service charge accounts.
From an accounting perspective, this is a highly specialist area, requiring the attention of experienced specialists who can help you to produce these accounts in a timely fashion and with maximum cost effectiveness.
Cartwrights dedicated team of professionals have a proven track record in this field. Working closely with Managing Agents we can help you ensure that these resident demands are met and often surpassed. Whether you are actively looking for new Reporting Accountants or Auditors or simply wish to see how we compare to the competition, your current accountants and auditors, we look forward to hearing from you.
