Reconciling a single bank payment against a complex list of rent, management fees and repair bills is a major headache. We’re using automation to transform those messy PDF statements into neat, digital entries that align perfectly with your bank transactions.

By automating the categorisation and reconciliation process for landlords, we’re removing the disjointed manual workflow that leads to errors, ensuring your property accounts are always accurate and up to date.

They can initiate single or bulk payments directly from the FreeAgent interface, with all activity automatically reconciled back to an Apron bank feed. Alternatively, they can remain in Apron, capture and pay bills, and have the data synced to the rest of their bookkeeping in FreeAgent.
