There's no denying that keeping precise and auditable escrow transaction records can be a challenge. From recording receipts and writing checks to reconciling accounts or delivering statements, you may be in need of better solutions to organize and manage data, as well as keep a cap on administrative costs.
While best known in the context of real estate, escrow can also come in the form of high value personal and business property, insurance, as well as monies distributed as a result of a cash settlement in a class action. But beyond that, businesses of all varieties may find it necessary to set up an escrow account or handle the accounts of others.
Whether challenged by the demands and responsibilities associated with managing funds on behalf of others or juggling a number of internal accounts, escrow management services are designed to provide support and simplify the day-to-day management of funds. Imagine managing multiple escrow accounts from one master account, eliminating the need for many manual processes. These types of streamlined services maximize the efficiency and cost effectiveness of your business, whatever the business.
In addition to securing the services of a reputable financial institution, companies want the assurance that their clients' resources will handled by someone with extensive experience in escrow management who can deliver solutions for any business that keeps client funds in trust. A careful review of the following highlights the kinds of services that can provide a simple, straightforward approach to escrow management.
Sub-accounting solutions offered through financial institutions are available for a variety of fields, including public funds, health care, property management, retail businesses, and more. Sub-accounting services streamline the management of multiple bank accounts by incorporating them into a single master account with a detailed monthly report of each sub-account, and the ability to use multiple tax identification numbers or unique identifiers. Allocation and 1099 reports are also provided.
Escrow Zero Balance Accounting services are designed to ease the reconciliation of zero balance subsidiary transaction activity. Interest allocation reporting is especially convenient when an overnight investment is aligned to the master depository account. Theses services typically include one account with multiple tax IDs, the ability to track balances and interest from one report, automatic coverage of "sub-account" overdrafts, as well as interest allocation reporting to each zero balance sub-account.
Full reconciliation escrow services are designed for insurance agents, real estate attorneys and real estate brokers. These solutions work in full concert with an accounting system to provide reports necessary to balance monthly transaction activity to your bank account. Reconciliation reporting saves time and simplifies month-end balancing for a company.
These inclusive services can include:
Comprehensive reconciliation
Three-way reconciliation as required by your underwriters
Detail report by escrow or file number
Alert reports detailing transactions that require action
Detailed reporting of receipts and payments at file level, tracked until it zeros out
Monthly statements that include detailed file-by-file reporting on each non-zero file, escrow trail balance reporting, outstanding deposits, and payment registers
Getting the complete escrow advantage can increase the effectiveness of your business in ways never realized. With the right partner by your side, management of clients' funds can be streamlined, helping your company to achieve savings in time, accuracy and administration. More than ever, these services maximize your business, whatever the business.
