CAM reconciliation for commercial real estate

Common-area reconciliation is arithmetic performed against contract terms — each lease has its own base year, its own caps, its own exclusions — and it is almost always done once a year from documents rather than from data. That is why it is late, why it produces tenant disputes, and why the recoverable amounts a firm is entitled to are frequently left on the table. The accounting problem is downstream of a data problem.

What usually breaks

Before anything gets built.

The same failures recur across commercial real estate. Strygon maps the specific system before proposing anything, but these are the ones worth checking for.

The pipeline is somebody's file

Deals live in a producer's own spreadsheet with their own stage names. Nothing rolls up to the firm, comparison across producers is impossible, and a departure takes the pipeline out of the door with it.

Notice windows pass quietly

Expirations, renewal options, escalations, and estoppel deadlines sit inside lease PDFs. Nothing watches them, and a window missed by a week is a rent number that never corrects.

The quarterly package is a rebuild

Ownership and investor reporting is reconstructed every quarter from a rent roll, a bank export, and recollection. It arrives late, it is hard to defend line by line, and it consumes the people who should be working deals.

The approach

What Strygon does about it.

Accounting & financial operations, aimed at those failures specifically rather than at a generic checklist.

01Accounting & financial ops
Recovery terms as data, not proseAccounting & financial ops
01
Part of the scoped build

Recovery terms as data, not prose

Base years, caps, exclusions, and pro-rata shares are held as fields on the lease record, which is what makes reconciliation a calculation rather than an interpretation.

02Accounting & financial ops
Reconciliation continuously, not annuallyAccounting & financial ops
02
Part of the scoped build

Reconciliation continuously, not annually

Recoverable spend accrues against each tenant as it is incurred, so the annual statement confirms a number that was already visible instead of revealing one.

03Accounting & financial ops
Reporting that ties to the rent rollAccounting & financial ops
03
Part of the scoped build

Reporting that ties to the rent roll

Ownership and investor financials are produced from the same records as the rent roll, so the two never have to be reconciled against each other by hand.

The approach for this pairingScoped in writing before work starts

What gets built

Concrete deliverables.

Everything in accounting & financial operations, applied to how commercial real estate actually runs.

Invoicing triggered by the event that earned it, not by a calendar reminder
Receivables and dunning sequences that chase payment automatically
Payment matching and reconciliation, with a real exception queue
Two-way sync with QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite where an API exists
Revenue reporting joined to the CRM, so cash is traceable to its source
Close-cycle checklists and the reporting the owner actually reads
