UpperBee is all the accounting tools you will need integrated with a comprehensive set of property management and community engagement tools for efficient management of your buildings in one place.

We recently introduced our UpperBee Manager platform to several clients who wanted to change their property management software.

We discussed with them the reasons why they were looking to change, and several explained to us that their issue was the accounting aspect of their property management software was either incomplete or non-existent.

What we heard:

‘‘On the accounting side, it's not great, the features are too limited. You have to manage the accounting elsewhere in another software. ’’

‘‘We have access to certain accounting components, but for complete accounting with the financial statements, we have to generate them with another software. Therefore, work is duplicated. ’’

‘‘In fact, our current software does not have a full version with all the accounting and finance features, and for what there is there are several aspects that are not "user friendly" or that are not compliant according to our accounting managers.’’

‘‘We cannot do year-end accounting closings or reconciliations. These features do not really exist. ’’

‘‘Our teams are tired of having to use, on a daily basis, several more or less integrated software applications that ultimately waste us time and money... ’’

When you are looking for property management software, it is essential to find a solution that also integrates accounting to offer you a complete, seamless, and efficient management experience. This approach requires the involvement of your accounting or financial teams. This is where UpperBee stands out by offering a complete property management and accounting software solution, specially adapted to the management of rental properties and condominiums, 100% integrated, accessible online 24/7, anywhere on any device.
