Texas-Based · Property Management Focus

Controller-level financial oversight — without the full-time hire.

I work with property management companies and short-term rental operators who've outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready for a full-time controller. Clean books, every month.

Your operations run smoothly. Your books don't keep up.

Month-end takes too long

Books close late, owner statements are delayed, and your team spends weeks reconciling what should take days.

Trust accounts don't reconcile

The bank rec ties, but the subsidiary ledger is off. Owner equity doesn't match. Security deposit liabilities haven't been verified in months.

Owner reporting isn't defensible

Owners ask questions you can't answer quickly. Property-level P&Ls don't exist — or don't make sense. Tax season is a fire drill every year.

The controller layer your books are missing.

I sit between your bookkeeper and your CPA — handling the structured financial oversight that keeps your operation accurate, compliant, and audit-ready every month.

other people's money.

Financial infrastructure for the operators who build Texas.

I founded Sellers Property Finance to solve a problem I kept seeing: property management companies with strong operations and weak books. Not because the people are bad at their jobs — but because PM accounting is genuinely more complex than most bookkeepers are equipped for.

Trust accounts holding other people's money. Security deposit liabilities with strict state compliance. Owner disbursements that need to reconcile across multiple platforms. These aren't bookkeeping tasks — they're controller-level work.

I provide that controller layer on a fractional basis — the structured financial oversight that sits between your bookkeeper and your CPA, keeping your books clean so your team can focus on leasing, maintenance, and growth.

Let's see if there's a fit.

A 15-minute conversation is all it takes to find out if fractional controller support makes sense for your operation. No pitch, no pressure — just an honest assessment.
