A large property management company in Los Angeles, California came to us at 𝐀𝐭 NishQuo Consulting with a confusing problem:
📈 Properties were occupied
📄 Rentals were being collected
💼 Operations were busy

Yet – cash was always tight.
That disconnect is usually the first red flag.

Once we reviewed their books and processes, the root issues became clear:
– Incorrect and unreliable accounting
– Persistent working capital stress
– Loan outflows exceeding inflows
– No structured tracking of receivables or payables
– No owner (landlord) statements,leading to frustrated and dissatisfied owners
In short, management had no financial visibility to make confident decisions.

We didn’t jump into cash flow strategies or cost-cutting immediately.

We cleaned up and finalized FY 2024, rebuilt the accounting structure, and then analyzed what the numbers were actually saying.

Once the data was reliable, several hidden leaks surfaced:
🚨 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 – management fees were not being charged as per agreed percentages on rental income
💸 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫-𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬 (appliances, gardeners, security, urgent repairs) were being paid by the management company instead of being reimbursed by owners
📊 No standardized 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, creating trust gaps and disputes
✂️ Certain contractors and 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 relative to value delivered
🧾 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 – some of which could be closed once new cash inflow opportunities were unlocked

By fixing the foundation and tightening processes, the client gained:

Cash flow problems are often not a revenue problem.
They’re an 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦.

If you’re running a property management business and constantly feel short on cash despite strong operations, the issue may already be sitting in your books – unnoticed.
