Your accountant builds it from the reconciled ledger and the transaction platform, defines each metric with the broker so it means the same thing every month and refreshes it on a fixed calendar in Fathom or a spreadsheet model. - Since 2020 - US · UK · CA · AU - Named accountant plus backup - Your software, no lock-in [Get a custom quote](https://ledgerbpo.com/get-a-quote/) [Book a 20-minute call](https://ledgerbpo.com/book-a-call/) Updated September 2026 ## How it runs for real estate agents and brokerages Teams and individual agents get a lighter version focused on income, marketing spend and estimated tax set-asides. ## What are financial dashboard services? Financial dashboard services design, build and maintain a visual view of your key financial metrics from your accounting, billing and payroll systems. The provider defines each KPI with you, connects the data, refreshes the figures, and checks that every number ties to the ledger. The result is a page you open any day, not a report you wait for. ## What we handle for real estate agents and brokerages - Closings, pending volume and gross commission by office and month - Company dollar and cost per closing against budget - Production per agent and agents approaching cap - Lead-generation spend per closing by source - Months of overhead covered by cash on hand ## The KPI that matters here Dashboard refreshed within 2 business days of each close with every metric traceable to the ledger. ## Real estate compliance notes ### 1099-NEC for agents and referral partners Brokerages report commissions paid to licensed agents on Form 1099-NEC because agents who meet the IRC section 3508 tests are statutory nonemployees. Referral fees paid to other brokerages and payments to unincorporated vendors are reported the same way once they reach the annual threshold. We keep W-9s and cumulative totals current so the forms are prepared for your review and filing by the January deadline. ### Commission splits and disbursement records Each closing is documented from the settlement statement through the commission disbursement authorization to the agent payment, so the split, cap progress, franchise royalty and any referral fee are traceable. Many state commissions require these records to be retained for several years. We file the documents with the entry in LedgerDesk. ### Earnest money and trust accounts Most state real estate commissions require earnest money to be held in a separate trust account, never commingled with operating funds, with a transaction-level ledger and a monthly reconciliation. Some states require interest-bearing accounts or set deadlines for deposit and disbursement. We maintain the ledger and reconciliation; the broker signs and remains responsible under the license. ### Client money in the UK, Canada and Australia UK letting and estate agents must belong to a Client Money Protection scheme and keep client money in a separate account. Canadian and Australian agencies operate under provincial or state trust-account rules with regular reconciliation and audit requirements. We prepare the ledgers and reconciliations in the format the regulator or auditor expects. ## Real estate software we work in - [QuickBooks Online](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Xero](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/xero/) - [Gusto](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/gusto/) - [Bill.com](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/bill-com/) - [Stripe](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/stripe/) - Brokermint - SkySlope - dotloop - Lone Wolf Back Office - [All 50 platforms](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/) ## More for real estate agents and brokerages Other services for real estate - [Bookkeeping](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/bookkeeping/) - [Invoicing and billing](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/invoicing-and-billing/) - [Accounts receivable](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/accounts-receivable/) - [Accounts payable](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/accounts-payable/) - [Bank reconciliation](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/bank-reconciliation/) - [Month-end close](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/month-end-close/) - [All real estate services](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/) KPI dashboards in other industries - [Marketing agencies & consultancies](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/agencies/kpi-dashboards/) - [Auto repair shops & dealerships](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/auto/kpi-dashboards/) - [Behavioral health practices](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/behavioral-health/kpi-dashboards/) - [Daycares, schools & education](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/childcare-education/kpi-dashboards/) - [The full kpi dashboards page](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/kpi-dashboards/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Which KPIs matter most for a brokerage? Company dollar per closing, closings per agent, pending volume as a leading indicator, cost per closing, agents approaching cap, lead spend per closing and months of overhead in cash. Together they show whether the brokerage is profitable per transaction, whether the pipeline supports next quarter and whether recruiting is adding income or just headcount. ### Can the dashboard combine transaction platform data with the books? Yes, closings, pending transactions and agent production are exported from SkySlope, dotloop, Brokermint or Lone Wolf each month and combined with the reconciled ledger figures. The accountant reconciles the two sources so revenue on the dashboard matches the P&L. Where a direct connector exists, the sync is checked monthly. ### Do you build dashboards for individual agents? Yes, agents and teams get a simpler view: commission income by month, marketing and lead spend, dues and licensing, net income and a running estimated-tax set-aside prepared for their CPA to review. It is refreshed monthly from the agent's own ledger, and the metrics are chosen with the agent at setup. Next step ## Books closed. Invoices paid. Every month.
