The chart of accounts your trust ledger deserves
A standardized, software-agnostic chart of accounts built specifically for property management trust accounting — with conversion guides for every major platform.
The NARPM Accounting Standards (NAS), released in 2018, brought clarity to PM corporate accounting. But trust accounting — the financial layer inside AppFolio, Buildium, RentVine, and similar systems — was left without a standard. Default charts of accounts are sparse. Most PMs fall back on IRS Schedule E, which helps with compliance but does little for operational insight. The NARPM Trust COA fixes that.
Every PM system ships with a bare-bones COA, leaving firms to figure it out alone — with no industry guidance on what actually matters.
Schedule E keeps you compliant, but it won't tell you where your operational bottlenecks are or how to drive performance across your portfolio.
The Trust COA connects seamlessly to the NARPM Accounting Standards, creating a coherent system from corporate accounting down to the property level.
