Giving Time, Clarity, and Peace to Real Estate Investors

About Lochside Accounting

Your Trusted Partner for Real Estate Investor Bookkeeping

At Lochside Accounting, we’re not your average bookkeeping service.

We’re a 100% veteran-owned business dedicated exclusively to real estate investors—flippers, landlords, wholesalers, syndicators, and more.

Founded by Thomas MacDonald, a seasoned bookkeeper with a passion for simplifying REI finances, we understand the unique challenges you face: chaotic books, time-draining number-crunching, and the stress of tax season.

Our mission? To give you clear, accurate financials and more time to focus on what you do best—building wealth through real estate.

Why We’re Different

Real estate investing isn’t like other businesses. It demands specialized bookkeeping to track properties, split mortgages, and optimize taxes. Most bookkeepers get it wrong, but we get it right. With deep REI expertise, we deliver:

Tailored Bookkeeping: Custom charts of accounts and property-specific tracking for rentals, flips, or commercial deals.
Time Savings: Our done-for-you service saves you 25–40 hours monthly, freeing you for deals or family time.
Tax Simplicity: We partner with a trusted CPA to provide seamless tax prep and filing, so you don’t need to hunt for one.
Financial Clarity: Accurate reports and profitability tracking to make data-driven decisions with confidence.

Our Story

As a veteran, Tom brings discipline and precision to every client’s books. After seeing real estate investors struggle with generic bookkeeping services, he launched Lochside Accounting to offer a better way. Based in Houston, TX, we serve REI clients nationwide, from solo rental owners to growing portfolio managers. Our cloud-based approach and client portal make collaboration easy, while our REI focus ensures your books are always CPA-ready.

Our Commitment

We know your time is precious, and your financials are critical. That’s why we handle every detail with care, from reconciling property manager statements to preventing co-mingling errors. Our clients—residential investors, active flippers, commercial developers, and passive syndicators—trust us to simplify their finances, reduce stress, and maximize tax savings.
