Back office

Accounts payable that closes its own loop.

Bills come in, get queued, get paid in one batch, and the books update themselves: every payment writes its expense row, every check takes the next number in the register, every hand-keyed adjustment waits for an approval. It is the bookkeeping layer a management company expects, inside the same platform the AI already runs.

The check register

Checks that print, and a sequence that cannot lie.

Record a check or cut them straight from the bills queue; either way the register consumes the next number atomically, so two people paying bills at once can never print the same check twice. Print the face and stub on standard stock. Void keeps the number consumed, the way an auditor expects.

Journal entries behind an approval. Cash behind a deposit slip.

Hand-keyed adjustments are drafted as balanced double entries, then wait as pending until someone approves them onto the books or rejects them with a written reason that stays on the record. The cash and paper checks that still arrive get batched onto a printable bank deposit slip, with each slip freezing its item list forever.

Back office questions

Does paying a bill update the books?
Yes. Batch-paying bills writes the expense ledger row in the same step, categorized to the chart-of-accounts account on the bill, so the P&L and Schedule E stay right without re-keying.
Can we print checks?
Yes. The check register manages its own number sequence, prints a check face plus stub on standard stock, and refuses to rewind the sequence below an issued number. Voided checks keep their number consumed, which is standard bookkeeping.
Who approves manual journal entries?
Anyone with financial access can draft and submit; a submitted entry sits as pending until it is approved, which posts the balanced double entry, or rejected with a written reason that stays on the record. Debits must equal credits before an entry can even be submitted.
Is the chart of accounts fixed?
No. Rentari seeds a standard property management tree of about 33 accounts on first use; you can add, rename, or deactivate accounts and map each fee type (rent, late fees, NSF, application fees, and more) to the account it should post to.

Run the whole book in one place.

Bills, checks, deposits, and journal approvals live beside the rent, the leases, and the AI that runs them.
