Trust Accounting Software
Every owner entity gets its own trust account in the owner's name, so funds are never commingled and the money never sits in your brokerage account. Hold reserves, keep early rent until it's due, and send owner payouts automatically, with no reconciliation first.

Why Hemlane
Hemlane is trust accounting software for landlords, property managers, real estate agents and brokerages. It gives every owner entity its own trust account in the owner's name, reconciles your clearing account daily, and keeps reserves, owner payouts and statements in one reconciled record.
01
Keep each owner's money separate
What you need
Funds kept separate for each owner, so one owner's balance never pays another owner's bills.
With Hemlane
Each owner entity gets its own trust account, set up in the owner's name, with its own ledger. Balances never mix, so one owner's request can't draw on another owner's money.
02
Reconcile without the month-end scramble
What you need
A clearing account that matches the bank, without days of manual work.
With Hemlane
Sync your clearing account and Hemlane reconciles it daily. Offline payments reconcile within seconds, and anything unreconciled stays on your list until the balance is back to $0. Owner payouts run automatically, without a lengthy reconciliation first.
03
Reserves and owner payouts on your terms
What you need
Repair money set aside before an owner gets paid.
With Hemlane
Hold a reserve and set a payout schedule for each owner, so money for property expenses is there before payouts go out.
04
Pay repairs and bills from the owner's funds
What you need
Vendors paid when the work is done, not when the next disbursement comes around.
With Hemlane
Repairs and bills are paid straight from the owner's funds, so vendors don't wait for a fixed disbursement window.
05
Owner statements that trace to the bank
What you need
Statements owners can understand and you can stand behind.
With Hemlane
Statements show rent collected, management fees, repairs paid and the amount disbursed. Every line ties to a bank transaction, lease or entity.
06
Records you can hand to your broker or auditor
What you need
Complete financial records, ready when someone asks to see them.
With Hemlane
Owner statements, expense records and year-end tax prep all come from the same reconciled ledger, and every transaction syncs to QuickBooks automatically.
Built for you
If any of these sound familiar, here's how Hemlane helps.
I'm worried about commingling owner funds.
Each owner entity has its own trust account in the owner's name, so funds never blend.
Month-end reconciliation takes days.
Owner payouts run automatically with no lengthy reconciliation first, and offline payments balance to $0 in seconds.
Our broker has to sign off on the trust account.
Separate owner ledgers, daily reconciliation and records you can hand over. Check your state's trust account rules too.
Owners want to be paid on different days.
Set an automatic payout schedule for each owner.
I need to keep a reserve for repairs.
Hold a reserve per owner so funds are there before a payout goes out.
A vendor needs to be paid before the next disbursement.
Pay repairs and bills directly from the owner's funds, with no fixed disbursement window.
Owners ask where their money went.
Send owner statements where every line traces back to a bank transaction, lease or entity.
We keep our books in QuickBooks.
Every transaction syncs to QuickBooks automatically, for you and your clients.
I track security deposits for a lot of tenants.
Track security deposit activity alongside every other transaction for the property.
Hemlane Trust Accounting
Track, reconcile and pay out owner funds in the same place you collect rent and coordinate repairs.
01
Each owner entity has its own trust account, set up in the owner's name rather than yours, with its own ledger. The owner has full access to it, and you carry less liability for holding their money. Balances never blend, so a request for one owner can never draw on another owner's money, even when one owner holds properties in several entities.
