Accounting Built for Property Management Companies
Property management companies face accounting challenges that general accountants rarely handle.

Every service charge account and tax submission is handled accurately.
Helping Property Managers Report Service Charges Correctly
Property management directors need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares service charge accounts, sinking fund reports, management company filings, client money reconciliation and tax planning, giving managing agents clear visibility over block finances and fee income.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions property management directors, managing agents and block managers ask about specialist accounting.
How are service charge accounts prepared?
Service charge accounts record income collected from leaseholders and expenditure on communal maintenance. They follow accruals basis and must comply with lease terms and the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
Is a service charge audit required?
The lease usually specifies whether an independent audit or report of factual findings is needed. ARMA members follow RICS standards. A £2,500 fine applies if accounts are not produced.
How are sinking funds accounted for?
Sinking fund contributions appear as income in service charge accounts. The accumulated balance sits on the balance sheet. Interest earned on reserves may be taxable and require a separate return.
How is client money handled?
Service charge funds are trust money under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987. They must be held in separate accounts from the agent’s own funds. RICS Client Money Protection applies.
How are management fees treated?
Management fees are the agent’s own income, separate from service charge funds. They are subject to VAT if registered and form part of taxable trading profits reported to HMRC.
Can ABM support property managers nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves property management companies across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to managing agents, RMCs and block management portfolios.
