Bookkeeping for Realtors

Simple Bookkeeping Built for Self-Employed Professionals

You became self-employed to do your work, not bookkeeping. KeyTax gives you a simple, organized system to track your business finances year-round — without the complexity of traditional accounting software.

Why Bookkeeping Is So Hard for the Self-Employed

Most realtors are independent contractors running their own business, but they've never been trained in bookkeeping. The result? Disorganized records, missed deductions, and stressful tax seasons.

✗QuickBooks and FreshBooks are too complex for what agents need
✗Irregular income from commissions makes tracking harder
✗No system for organizing receipts from dozens of transactions
✗Mixing personal and business finances on the same accounts
✗Waiting until January to start organizing last year's records
✗Paying a bookkeeper hundreds of dollars per month for basic tracking

How KeyTax Simplifies Bookkeeping for the Self-Employed

KeyTax isn't a full accounting suite — it's a focused, simple bookkeeping tool designed for what 1099 workers actually need: organized expenses, stored receipts, and tax-ready reports.

Simplified Expense Management

No double-entry accounting, no chart of accounts to configure. Just log your business expenses, categorize them, and attach receipts. KeyTax handles the organization.

Real Estate-Specific Categories

Pre-configured expense categories that match IRS Schedule C deductions for real estate agents. Commission splits, marketing, staging, MLS dues, mileage — all built in.

Receipt Organization System

Every expense can have a receipt photo attached. No more filing cabinets, envelopes, or lost paperwork. Search and find any receipt instantly.

Tax-Ready Financial Reports
