Far too many colleagues of mine are still either using overly complicated general accounting software, or worse, tracking everything manually in Excel. Stessa not only allows me to automate the majority of my bookkeeping, but the real time reporting functionality allows me to monitor the performance of my assets and catch anamolys much quicker. While other property management software may offer expense tracking or basic accounting features, Stessa’s exclusive focus on the financial aspect of rental property ownership allows them to offer a far more robust feature set and innovate at a faster clip. > > **Cons**: As a single-entry accounting system, it comes with all the drawbacks associated with that method of accounting (no cross-checking, greater potential for error, no tracking of real accounts, etc.). This was an intentional design decision, however, as this software is geared to be more user friendly for the average rental owner. While it lacks the sophistication of a double-entry system, Stessa has come up with innovative ways to simulate certain aspects of a double-entry system through features like a derived Balance Sheet report using user provided asset values and debt information. ----- ### "Ease of Use" — 5.0/5 > **Tony** | *16 July 2022* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to track every important metric used by investors in real estate. > > **Cons**: I wish the system would track owner financing deals > > Able to pull reports quickly and professionally. ----- ### "Ok for main stream, struggles to adapt" — 3.0/5 > **Marty** | *11 November 2022* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Look, it's free, we get that. And it has added value to our business. But their inability to resolve a seemingly simple issue after 5 months is inexcusable. > > **Cons**: For a software company, they are surprisingly not agile. Two examples:- For every nearly transaction that comes through, we have to attribute it to the property/tenant in spite of the amounts and ledgers being exactly the same every month. It appears the only AI they use is a checkbox that ties a bank account to a property. That's great for loans, but it should be able to handle rents too. - We can go on mint.com and enter all the log in credentials and that gives us every balance of every card. Stessa has continuously struggled with adding some credit cards attached to one of my banks. We have reached out to them for the better part of a year off and on and they seem perplexed and unable to wrap their heads around it. Now, after 5 months of us staying on them about it, they've ghosted us, or given us the "yeah we're working on it." If it's that hard to do, how can another company just do it with ease? > > It's ok. we wouldn't pay for it, not remotely. But it seems like they're trying to grow their business by solving the big problems only and ignoring the "small" ones. We will keep with them at least until the end of the year for ease of tax reporting, but will seriously look at other options as December rolls around. ----- ### "Stessa Support is non-existent" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 January 2024* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of use, ease of setup > > **Cons**: support > > terrible.. I want my money back but no one will respond since day 1 ----- ### "Fantastic Software" — 5.0/5 > **Nick** | *22 May 2021* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its easy to use, their is no guess work. I like the banking integration, tenant ledgers, general ledger, balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and every other report you could need. The best part for me is the year end package it generates for my tax guy. > > **Cons**: I'd like to see the ability to update the RE Tax PIN number. Although customer service is excellent and will make any updates you need quickly. > > I think this is the best thing out there. Everything about Stessa is top notch from the product itself to the customer service. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/75594/stessa?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/75594/stessa) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
