Financial Services
Our
Accounting and Financial Services Division is headed by Michael
B. Falla, our Chief Financial Officer and one of
our two in-house CPAs. Closely assisting Mr. Falla is our Controller,
Paul V. Loeffler,
CPA. Because consistent and professional accounting and financial
services are vital to the success of any real estate investment,
this division is Zalco's largest headquartered service arm,
comprising almost one-third of the Company's main-office employees.
For over thirty years this division has developed and solidified
a proven track record by providing its clients with complete
financial-management advice, solutions to specific problems,
or comprehensive reports and tools necessary for them to perform
their own analysis.
Our
Financial Division utilizes MRI software, a property-management
system that includes full-fledged accounting functions. This
system has been in use nationwide throughout the industry for
many years and allows cash or accrual-based financial reporting.
Within this system, we have established many redundancies to
help safeguard our clients' records and data. Behind this system
we also employ our own set of checks and balances, along with
a strongly defined approval system with respect to items such
as: billings and collections; invoice approval and payments;
payroll input and disbursements; cash and check handling and
deposits. We also maintain separate bank accounts for every
client.
All of our clients receive a comprehensive package of standard monthly operating reports. Although this package usually meets the needs of most clients, we can also accommodate specific needs with special customized reports upon request. Our system also allows us to e-mail all of these reports directly to the client for ultimate convenience.
While
our financial-services package is only part of the complete
management package that our full-service commercial and residential
clients receive, one of our more-popular service-menu items
is the “Financial-Only Services Program,” which allows clients
the opportunity to retain responsibility for their own facilities
management, but outsource the often tedious and sometimes complex
accounting and financial functions to a third-party professional
like Zalco. Among others, the following financial-services options
are available to all Zalco clients:
Assessment tracking and collection

of accounts receivable, accounts
