Commercial Real Estate & CAM
Lease-based common area maintenance analysis and expense reconciliation support for commercial property owners.
Commercial Real Estate & CAM
Bring the lease, the expenses, and the allocation together.
Commercial property reporting brings together accounting records, operating expenses, and the terms of individual leases. When those pieces are not aligned, tenant recoveries can become difficult to explain and property results harder to interpret.
MyCPA, LLP helps property owners and managers organize financial information and common area maintenance (CAM) calculations into traceable schedules. We focus on the connection between the expense, the allocation method, and the supporting documentation, with lease questions identified for appropriate follow-up.
How we can help
- CAM expense and recovery analysis
- Lease-based allocation schedules
- Base-year and expense-stop comparisons
- Tenant reconciliation support
- Documentation of assumptions and open items
Support in practice
Make property expenses easier to trace and explain.
Property-level financial information
Organize income and operating costs by property and relevant account categories. Consistent reporting supports discussions about performance, budgets, and unusual expense movements.
Recoverable expense schedules
Map expense records to the categories and exclusions identified in the executed lease. Not every property cost is recoverable from every tenant; assumptions need to be documented.
Tenant allocation calculations
Support calculations involving tenant shares, base years, expense stops, caps, and other applicable provisions. Gross-up and similar adjustments require attention to the specific lease terms and underlying facts.
Year-end reconciliation support
Compare applicable tenant charges or estimates with supported actual amounts. Prepare schedules that show how an additional charge or credit was calculated and identify unresolved items before statements are finalized.
Working together
A documented calculation supports a clearer conversation.
A useful CAM schedule lets another reader follow the calculation from source expense records to the tenant allocation. We help organize invoices, account classifications, allocation inputs, and adjustments so the basis of the calculation is easier to understand.
Changes in occupancy, leased area, vendors, or property operations can affect the work. A recurring reporting process helps your team identify those changes and assemble information before the annual reconciliation.
Accounting support with clear boundaries
Our work can complement your property manager, bookkeeper, and legal advisors. We agree on which schedules and calculations we will prepare, who confirms the lease inputs, and who approves tenant communications.
Recoverability depends on the lease and the relevant facts. Legal interpretation and tenant disputes should be addressed with qualified counsel. This consulting work is not an audit or assurance engagement unless separately agreed.
