Unlocking the power of dimensionality in real estate accounting

Imagine a pivot table on steroids of all your accounting and finance metrics you can access anytime, anywhere.

Finding KPIs for Real Estate like net asset value (NAV), internal rate of return (IRR), loan to value ratio (LTV), gross operating income (GOI), debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), or your operational efficiency ratio is now easy to calculate on an individual property, fund, or partner level.

Enabling success in your accounting function requires the right enterprise software built with scale and ease of use in mind. Setting up your general ledger is also paramount to ensuring you can tag and code your data correctly. This guide explains the benefits of real-estate specific dimensions and a proper chart of accounts for multi-family real estate properties.

The Importance of a Dimensional Chart of Accounts for Finance

A dimensional chart of accounts represents a significant advancement in modern accounting practices. This innovative feature within accounting software solutions, often referred to as multi-dimensional accounting, allows for detailed tracking of revenues, expenses, and profitability across various segments—departments, locations, projects, and more. Prismatic integrates these capabilities, simplifying your chart of accounts from setup through real-time reporting, thus accelerating decision-making processes with enhanced financial insights.

What is Dimensionality in Accounting?

Dimensionality in accounting refers to the layers of data categorization and analysis available within an accounting system. These dimensions—such as departments, locations, projects, and products—enable businesses to dissect and view their financial data from multiple perspectives. By utilizing dimensionality, companies can achieve a detailed and dynamic understanding of their financial status, facilitating better decision-making and strategic planning.

The Challenges of Multi-Entity Accounting

Managing finances across multiple business entities adds layers of complexity to accounting processes. Common hurdles such as intercompany transactions, currency conversions, and consolidating financial statements can complicate the financial landscape and obscure the true financial picture.
