The hours nobody tracks are the ones that hurt the most.

Ask a real estate developer with five LLCs what their back-office costs them each month and you'll get a confident number for software, a confident number for headcount, and a long pause for everything in between.

That long pause is the problem. It's the manual consolidation. The duplicate journal entries. The Controller who can't take a vacation without the close slipping. The draw package that takes three days when it should take three hours.

None of it shows up on the P&L labeled as "manual reconciliation" or "spreadsheet babysitting." It just shows up as drag - on close speed, on cash visibility, on the people you can least afford to burn out.

The Multi-Entity Accounting Scorecard makes that drag visible. In numbers. On one page.

Real estate development accounting workflow

A 30-minute diagnostic. Eight categories. One honest answer.

We get on a call. We ask ten questions. You answer them honestly - no prep, no slides, no "let me circle back with my CFO." Just a real conversation about how your back-office actually works. At the end, you get a one-page Scorecard. Eight categories rated Red, Yellow, or Green. Hours-lost math. Three highest-leverage fixes. And a recommendation. That recommendation is one of three things. We'll get to those in a minute.

1

You book a slot

Pick a 30-minute window that works. No pre-call homework. No discovery questionnaire to fill out.

2

We have the call

Ten questions about how you consolidate, how you close, how you draw, how you report. Real conversation.

3

You keep the page

One Anton-branded page: 8 ratings, hours-lost estimate, top three fixes, honest recommendation. Yours to keep.

Eight areas. Each one rated Red, Yellow, or Green.

These are the eight areas where multi-entity developers consistently lose hours, miss deadlines, or make decisions on incomplete data. Each one gets a Red / Yellow / Green rating on your Scorecard.

1
ConsolidationHow fast can you produce a clean, consolidated P&L and balance sheet across all entities?
2
Project P&L (ITD)Can you see inception-to-date margin on every active project, on demand, without rebuilding it in Excel?
3
Budget vs Actual by Cost CodeAre you tracking budget vs actual at the cost-code level with change orders flowing into the modified budget?
4
Draw PackageHow long does it take to build a complete monthly draw package - G702/G703, backup, lien waivers, COIs?
5
13-Week Cash FlowDo you have a rolling 13-week forecast that ties to your actuals? Or a stale spreadsheet someone updates Mondays?
6
Sub ComplianceCan you cut a check to a sub today knowing their COI hasn't expired and their lien waiver is on file?
7
Investor / Capital AccountIf an LP asks for capital account balance and trailing IRR right now, how long until they have an answer?
8
Close SpeedHow many days does your monthly close take, and what's the longest stretch you'd trust your Controller to be on vacation during it?

Three outcomes. We'll tell you which one is yours.

Most software demos end with a quote and a follow-up sequence. This one doesn't. After 30 minutes, your Scorecard lands in one of three buckets.

DIY

Your setup is working

Your back-office is in good shape. The hours-lost math doesn't justify a platform change. We'll point out the two or three things worth tightening, and you walk away with a free framework you can run again next year. We don't try to talk you into anything. Plenty of developers get this answer.

Worth a conversation

There's a measurable cost

The hours and dollars add up. Your Scorecard shows a measurable cost - usually 60+ Controller hours a month and a close that's drifting. If you want, we'll set up a working session to scope what a fix looks like. If you don't, you still keep the page and the math. Your call.

Not yet

Here's the trigger

You're close, but not there. We'll mark the trigger event that moves you into "Worth a conversation" - usually the fifth entity, the next capital raise, or the first institutional LP. Revisit when you hit it. No follow-up sequence, no monthly check-in emails. We mean it.

Who the Scorecard is for

YES — if you are

  • A real estate developer, GC, or property management firm
  • Running three or more entities or LLCs
  • Using QuickBooks, Sage, Excel, or some combination
  • Aware your close is slower or messier than it should be
  • Looking for a number, not a sales pitch

PROBABLY NOT — if you are

  • A single-entity business with no plans to add LLCs
  • Already on Acumatica, Sage Intacct, or NetSuite and content
  • Looking for a free demo of accounting software
  • Researching ERPs but not ready to talk for 6+ months
  • Hoping for a generic "audit" rather than a real conversation
Accounting scorecard results page

One page. Yours to keep.

The Scorecard isn't a 40-slide deck or a 12-page report. It's one page, Anton-branded, designed to fit on a Controller's desk or an Owner's email. Whatever you do with it next is up to you.

  • Header — your company, the date, and who you spoke with.
  • Eight-category heat map — Red / Yellow / Green for each of the categories above, with one-line observations.
  • Hours-lost math — estimated manual back-office hours per month, plus the dollar cost at a loaded Controller rate.
  • Top three fixes — ranked by payback, not cost. Some are free. Some are software. We'll be honest about which.
  • The recommendation — DIY, Worth a Conversation, or Not Yet. One of those three. No "maybe."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. No credit card, no sales call afterwards unless your Scorecard lands in the Amber bucket and you ask for one. The 30 minutes is the offer.

What if I'm already on Acumatica?

Then you probably don't need a Scorecard - you need a deployment health check, which is a different conversation. Email Michael directly at meantonelli@antonsystems.com and he'll point you to the right resource.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. No financials, no entity list, no data extracts. Just be on the call, have an opinion about how your back-office actually works, and be willing to give honest answers to ten questions.

Who runs the call?

Michael Antonelli, President of Anton Systems. He's been doing this for 30+ years. He runs the call himself - you don't get handed off to a BDR.

Will you try to sell me something on the call?

No. The call ends with a Scorecard and a recommendation. If the recommendation is "DIY" or "Not Yet," the conversation ends there. If it's "Worth a conversation" and you want to keep talking, we set up a separate working session. You drive.

Can my Controller / CFO join?

Strongly recommended. The honest answers come faster when the person who actually does the work is in the room. One Owner + one Controller is the ideal pairing.

Thirty minutes. One page. One honest answer.

If your back-office is working, we'll tell you. If it's not, you'll have the math. Either way, you walk away with something useful.
