For brokers and attorneys who hold client funds

When the auditor asks for your trust records, hand them over in five minutes.

TrustTabs keeps the journal, a ledger for every transaction, and a monthly reconciliation — the records trust account examiners typically ask to see — current and ready to print.

i.

Spreadsheets drift

One mistyped formula and the ledger no longer matches the bank. You find out at the worst possible time.

ii.

Audits come with little notice

Examiners expect current records for every open transaction, not a promise to catch up.

iii.

Errors are expensive

A shortage in a trust account can put a license at risk, even when it was an honest bookkeeping mistake.

§ 1   Audit readiness

Ready for your state audit

Requirements differ by state and licensing body. TrustTabs covers the records most examiners start with, so you spend the audit answering questions — not assembling binders.

Always confirm the specific rules with your state’s real estate commission or bar association.

§ 4   Questions

Trust accounting, answered

Something else? Read all FAQs or send us a question.

What is a three-way reconciliation?

It compares three numbers that must agree: the adjusted bank balance, the journal balance, and the total of every individual transaction ledger. If any one differs, something was missed or mis-entered.

How often should I reconcile my trust account?

Most states expect at least a monthly reconciliation. Check your state’s rules for the exact requirement and how long you must keep the records.

Can I keep a separate ledger for each property?

Yes. Every deposit starts a transaction ledger, and every later disbursement is appended to it with its own running balance.

Does TrustTabs replace my accountant?

No. TrustTabs keeps accurate, organized records; your accountant or attorney still advises on compliance. You can export everything to CSV and share it with them.

How do I know my data is secure?

Your records are kept on a professionally managed server. We do not store bank account numbers, Federal IDs or Social Security Numbers — primarily check numbers, MLS numbers, names, addresses and dates.
