Welcome

Accountant

Platmetrix keeps a real double-entry, accrual-basis set of books per property. Routine activity posts itself; your job is to review, reconcile, and keep each property tying out.

Access levels. For every property you're granted None, View, or Edit on PropIQ (and separately on AssetIQ). View lets you read; Edit lets you change things. If a button is missing or a page says you don't have permission, your access level is why — ask your administrator or regional manager.

Signing in

Sign in
On screen
  • Go to your Platmetrix site and open the operator app (the Client login link, or propiq.html).
  • Type your email and password.
  • Press Sign in.
What it does

Checks your credentials and opens your workspace showing only the properties and tools your role allows. Your session stays signed in on that device until you sign out.

Needs your input

You need an account created by your administrator. If you were invited by email, open that invite first and set a password. Forgotten password or no access to a property — your administrator resolves both.

How the books work

Accrual, automatic.

You don't make manual entries for routine activity — charges, payments, deposits, and paid tax bills post to the books as the work happens.

Accrual, automatic
Events become book entries on their own
A charge records income and a receivable when billed; the payment later clears the receivable to cash. That's why the P&L and balance sheet stay in agreement.

Accounting module

Live statements.

Open Accounting. On a real property it reads the live books and shows the statements with a green LIVE GL badge.

Accounting — income statement, balance sheet, trial balance from the live books.
Accounting — income statement, balance sheet, trial balance from the live books.
Switch the reporting period
On screen
  • Open Accounting.
  • Use the Year and Month selectors.
  • Pick the statement tab (Income / Balance sheet / Trial balance).
What it does

Re-pulls the books for that period and redraws the statement you're viewing.

Needs your input

Shows only what's been posted. If a period looks empty, activity for it hasn't been recorded yet (or you're on a demo property, which shows sample figures).

The statements

Review & verify.

Income statement

Revenue less operating expenses gives NOI; interest and depreciation below the line give net income. Paid property taxes flow in automatically.

Balance sheet

Assets, liabilities, and equity as of period end, with a banner confirming it balances. A small early imbalance before period-close is expected.

Trial balance

Every account's debits and credits with totals that must match — your fastest integrity check.

Review the statements
On screen
  • Open each tab: Income statement, Balance sheet, Trial balance.
  • Check the balance banner and that trial-balance totals match.
What it does

Confirms the books are internally consistent and shows the property's performance for the period.

Needs your input

If the trial balance doesn't match or the balance sheet is off beyond a small close-timing difference, something posted oddly — investigate the source activity before relying on the numbers.

Rent ledger

Receivables detail.

The Rent module is the receivables detail behind your A/R — each charge's billed, paid, balance, and status, with collected/outstanding totals.

Rent ledger — the receivables behind A/R.

Property taxes

Bills that post to expense.

Property taxes tracks bills by parcel, year, authority, and installment.

Property taxes — add/import bills and mark them paid.
Property taxes — add/import bills and mark them paid.
Add a tax bill
On screen
  • Open Property taxes.
  • In the add form enter authority, year, amount, and due date.
  • Click Add bill.
What it does

Records the bill as an upcoming obligation on this property.

Needs your input

You supply the details from the actual tax statement. Adding it doesn't post an expense yet — that happens when you mark it paid.

Import many tax bills (CSV)
On screen
  • Prepare a CSV: Parcel, Year, Authority, Installment, Amount, Due.
  • Choose the file.
  • Click Import.
What it does

Loads every row as a bill at once so you don't hand-enter a large tax roll.

Needs your input

Columns must be in the expected order. Rows with unreadable amounts/dates are skipped; check the count in the confirmation.

Mark a tax bill paid
On screen
  • Find the bill.
  • Click Mark paid.
What it does

Records the payment and posts the property-tax expense to the books automatically, so it flows into NOI — no separate journal entry.

Needs your input

Only mark paid once it's actually paid; this changes the financial statements.

Reconciliation

Payments vs bank.

Reconciliation matches collected rent against the deposits the processor actually pays into each property's bank.

Reconciliation — collected vs deposited vs in transit vs fees.
Reconciliation — collected vs deposited vs in transit vs fees.
Reconcile a property
On screen
  • Open Reconciliation.
  • Compare Collected, Deposited to bank, In transit, and Processing fees.
  • Check each payment's bank status.
What it does

Shows which collected payments have landed in the bank versus still in transit, and the processor's fees so you can book them as an expense.

Needs your input

Populates once online payments are live and payouts have run. Recording the fee expense and confirming the bank-statement match are your call. Until payments are live it shows the demo example.

Reporting to AssetIQ

The valuation feed.

Reporting rolls each property's NOI, occupancy, and scorecard up to AssetIQ for valuation — the same posted numbers, never re-entered.

Reporting — the rollup that feeds AssetIQ.
