Per unit

A running balance for every unit

A property isn’t one number — it’s many. BareBones keeps a live balance per unit, so a late payment on 3C never hides behind a healthy 1A. The math is always current; you’re never adding up a spreadsheet column in your head.

  • See at a glance which units are current and which are behind
  • Charges and payments net against each other automatically
  • Filter the whole ledger down to one property or one unit

Tax-ready

Categorized the way taxes want it

The categories aren’t decoration — they’re the exact buckets the IRS asks for. Tag a repair as a repair once, and it’s already in the right place when you file. Tax season becomes an export, not an archaeology dig.

  • Every line carries a category that maps to Schedule E
  • No re-sorting a year of transactions in April
  • Export the whole year, already bucketed
