Responsibilities

What can a Trust Accounting Virtual Assistant take off your team’s plate?

Start with receipt allocation support, trust ledger administration, and reconciliation preparation. Keep approvals, exceptions, and specialist judgment with the right internal owner while the Trust Accounting Virtual Assistant handles the repeatable work.

Core Trust Accounting support

Start by giving receipt allocation support and trust ledger administration one owner, one source of truth, and a clear definition of done.

  • Receipt Allocation Support
  • Trust Ledger Administration
  • Reconciliation Preparation

Workflow and coordination

Document how owner and tenant record checks and arrears data preparation move between people and tools so handoffs do not disappear into chat.

  • Owner And Tenant Record Checks
  • Arrears Data Preparation
  • Statement Administration

Follow-through and visibility

Use exception reporting and document and audit-trail organisation to keep completed work, exceptions, and next actions visible to the team.

Not sure what to delegate? Start with the work that repeats every week.

List the recurring tasks, bottlenecks, tools, response times, and approvals. That is usually enough to define the first version of the role.

How the role works

Set up the work before you hand it over.

For Australian property management agencies and real-estate agencies, the strongest Trust Accounting setup is usually a defined operating role rather than a loose list of errands. The client owns the process and decisions; the Virtual Assistant owns the recurring execution that has been clearly delegated.

Anchor the role to the transaction, listing, property, or lead record your team already uses. Define response-time expectations and make every open item visible so follow-up is not trapped in personal inboxes.

Dates, contact details, property information, document status, and next actions need consistent checking. Real-estate admin works best when every handoff leaves a timestamped note and a clear owner.

Licensed representation, negotiations, trust-account activity, legal interpretations, and decisions reserved to agents, brokers, property managers, or other licensed professionals remain with them.

First 30 days

A practical onboarding plan for a Trust Accounting Virtual Assistant

Keep the first month narrow enough to review properly. Add scope only after the original workflow is accurate and predictable.

  1. Week 1

    Learn the workflow

    Start with receipt allocation support, trust ledger administration, and reconciliation preparation. Give the Virtual Assistant examples of good completed work, access only to the systems needed for those tasks, and a short daily check-in while the process is still new.

  2. Weeks 2-3

    Add ownership

    Once the basics are consistent, add owner and tenant record checks and arrears data preparation. Ask the Virtual Assistant to document recurring questions and turn repeat answers into a checklist or SOP instead of relying on chat history.

  3. Week 4

    Review by outcomes

    By the end of the first month, review whether receipt allocation support, trust ledger administration, reconciliation preparation are running consistently, exceptions are recorded instead of hidden, and the remaining decisions that need your input are clearly documented.

Common hiring mistakes

Three mistakes that make this role harder than it needs to be

Do not combine receipt allocation support, trust ledger administration, and unrelated specialist work into one role without setting priorities.

Do not hand over full PropertyMe access on day one. Give the minimum permissions receipt allocation support actually needs, and widen it as the work proves out.

Do not judge this role on activity counts. For Trust Accounting work, accuracy on trust ledger administration and the state of unresolved exceptions matter far more than hours logged.

Managing the role

Use a small scorecard instead of watching every click.

For the first month, review a few measures that tell you whether the work is dependable. The exact targets should come from your own workload and service standards.

  • Receipt Allocation Support: completed on time, with exceptions recorded instead of hidden
  • Trust Ledger Administration: accuracy or rework rate based on a sample the manager actually reviews
  • Reconciliation Preparation: turnaround time from a complete request to a usable result
  • Open items: any receipt allocation support blocked past the agreed response window, with the blocker and next owner named
  • Documentation: PropertyMe records current enough that someone else could pick up receipt allocation support tomorrow
Tools and skills

Hire for workflow fluency, not a software checklist.

Software familiarity matters, but process judgment matters more. Ask candidates to explain what they completed inside the tool, how they checked accuracy, and what they escalated.
