Accountant for Real Estate Agencies in Sydney
Specialist accounting, bookkeeping, and tax services for real estate agencies, property managers, and buyer's agents. Trust account compliance, commission tracking, and cash flow management handled.
Three reasons our clients stay.
We’re a boutique accounting practice built on long-term client relationships, offering personalised tax, accounting, and advisory services to businesses and organisations across Sydney.
Twenty-three years in practice as of 2026. Same firm, same principal, same standards since 2003. Some clients have been with us almost the whole way. The work compounds, and so does the trust. Over four hundred SMSFs managed and thousands of tax returns lodged.
Tax, books, advisory, SMSF, Xero. One team that knows your business. No handoffs between firms, no missed details between specialists, no questions you have to answer twice. Numbers flow cleanly from books to BAS to tax return because the same people are looking at all of them.
We are old-fashioned about this. You get a name, a direct line, and someone who actually knows your file. We watch for trends, flag issues before they become fines, and call when something needs attention. Most clients hear from us between quarters, not just at lodgement time.
Why every accountant for real estate agents must know trust accounts
Real estate businesses combine sales commissions, property management fees, and trust account obligations under legislation. Income flows through deal-by-deal commissions, recurring management fees, and sometimes auctioneering or buyer’s-agent work. Each stream has different timing, different margin profile, and different compliance considerations.
Add agent commission splits that need to be tracked per deal. Add property management trust accounts under state-based legislation with reconciliation requirements. Add the cash flow gap between settlements and commission disbursement. The financial work behind a real estate business is sector-specific.
A general accountant can mishandle trust account compliance, miscalculate commission splits, or fail to forecast through quiet periods. Specialist real estate accounting understands the income mix, the trust requirements, and the cash flow patterns of the sector.

A small firm by design.
Trinity Accounting Practice opened in Beverly Hills in 2003. Ramy Hanna, a registered tax agent and Fellow of three Australian accounting institutes, has run it since. The firm has stayed deliberately small, deliberately local, and deliberately senior. The principal you talk to today is the principal who will be reviewing your return next October.
Most of our work comes from referrals. Most clients have been with us for years, some for decades. We think that says more about the work than any award would.
The reviews speak for themselves.
Sole traders, growing companies, and trustees who keep coming back. Here’s why.
