The Accounting Platform

LAMPLighthouse Accounting Management Platform

Full-portfolio accounting with one principle built into every module: LAMP acts only on information it can verify with 100% certainty — anything less, it flags for a person.

Two platforms, one ecosystem, one price — Lighthouse for operations, LAMP for the books.

The Governing Principle

It never guesses.

The entire system fails if any assumption or hallucination is allowed to occur at any point. So LAMP holds one rule above the rest: the observed data must be true and documented before a single dollar moves. When LAMP is not 100% certain — of a charge, a payee, an amount, an authority — it does not proceed. It flags the task and notifies the correct manager for review and approval. Every module obeys this.

The Fourteen Modules

One accounting system,
every part of the books.

LAMP is built from fourteen modules that reason in a single chart of accounts. The base platform is always on — the foundation everything reads from. Optional modules add depth as your portfolio needs it.

Base platform — always on

Module 01

Dashboard

Portfolio and per-property financial pulse: cash, AP/AR aging, variance, and Brain anomalies at a glance.

Module 02

General Ledger & Chart of Accounts

One master chart of accounts and every ledger in it — the vocabulary the Brain reasons in.

Module 03

Accounts Payable

AI invoice processing: capture, code, match, route, pay — with an approval hierarchy behind every payment.

Module 04

Accounts Receivable

Tenant billing, rent and recovery charges, and collections, all on the tenant ledger.

Module 05

Banking & Cash

Bank account setup, live feeds, and continuous automated reconciliation — including check issuance, hand checks, stop/void, and positive pay.

Module 09

Property & Portfolio Info

The physical facts of every asset — TRSF, RSF, units, load factors — synced from the Client Platform.

Module 11

Settings & Access

Entities, roles, permissions, approval rules, and the Client Platform connection.

Optional modules

Module 06

Budgets

Driver-based annual budgets, reforecasts, and variance.

Module 07

Financials

Cash vs accrual statements, monthly and YTD views.

Module 08

NNN / CAM Recovery

Pass-through pools, caps, reconciliation, and true-ups by property.

Module 10

Reporting

Financial Reporting Tiles: toggle reports, set cadence, owner/investor packages, exports.

Module 12

IRS & Compliance Review

A quarterly regulatory lens crossed against the books. Advisory only; not tax advice.

Module 13

Document Retention

Where generated documents live and for how long — retention clocks and legal holds.

Module 14

Bill Back & Cost Recovery

Reads the lease to decide who pays — CAM, landlord expense, or a tenant Bill Back — then pays the vendor, invoices the tenant, and lands the charge. Standalone from NNN math.

Where the Discipline Shows

The details that decide
whether the books can be trusted.

Anyone can list features. The discipline lives in the edge cases — the check that never clears, the repair that could be charged three different ways, the difference on the statement that needs a name. Here is how LAMP handles them.

Bill Back & Cost Recovery

The lease decides who pays. When a tenant requests a repair, LAMP reads the lease and the correspondence to classify it — CAM, landlord expense, or a tenant Bill Back — pays the vendor directly, generates a management-style invoice (with or without markup), sends it to the right tenant contact, and lands the charge on the tenant ledger. It's a standalone charge: it never touches your NNN estimates or annual reconciliation.

Off-cycle hand checks

Same-day, never same-risk. When a payment can't wait for the regular run, LAMP prints an off-cycle hand check — same bank account, same check sequence, same register — issued the day it's needed with positive-pay coverage on print. One durable payment identifier means the hand check can never double-pay in the next run.

Stop payment, void & checks that never clear

Every issued check is tracked until it clears or is resolved. A stop payment triggers the offsetting reversal in the correct property and period; a void-and-reissue can never leave the original check live to be cashed twice; and a check still outstanding past its stale-date is surfaced automatically — never left to drift.

Positive pay

The bank pays only what matches. LAMP transmits the issued-check file to the bank the moment checks print. Anything presented that doesn't match — wrong amount, altered payee, a stopped check presented anyway — is returned as an exception. The default is do-not-pay. If LAMP can't confirm it with certainty, it doesn't pay; it flags a manager.

The bank reconciliation

Every difference has a name. LAMP builds the reconciliation continuously, not once a month. Outstanding checks, voided checks, stop-paid checks, deposits in transit, fees — each is a named adjusting item with a reason, never a silent plug. It ties to the penny, or it flags what it can't explain.

Use-tax self-assessment

The tax you owe yourself, assessed for you. When a vendor doesn't charge tax on a taxable purchase, the obligation lands on you — and most software leaves it to a manual “Subject to Use Tax” checkbox. LAMP reads each invoice instead: it flags the exposure, accrues the tax to the right property in the right period, and rolls it into one clean bulk remittance — each property kept strictly separate. Void a flagged line and the accrual reverses with it, both halves at once. Anything uncertain is flagged for a person, never guessed.

Two Platforms, One Ecosystem

One ecosystem. One price.

Lighthouse runs the operation — voice, scheduling, leasing, compliance. LAMP runs the books — ledger, payables, receivables, recovery. They share one Brain and one connection layer, priced as one blended monthly figure rather than two sticker prices. Use the live configurator to see what your portfolio costs.
