This help article explains the difference between Property Bills and Company Bills in MagicDoor.

It’s divided into clear sections that walk you through:

• What a Property Bill is, including common examples and how it’s used in property accounting.
• What a Company Bill is, and how it applies to your business operations.
• A comparison table outlining key differences between the two.

Use this article as a quick reference when deciding how to categorize new expenses in your accounting module.

What is a Property Bill?

A property bill is an expense linked to a specific property or building. These bills directly relate to the operation, maintenance, or improvement of a property, for example:

• Repairs or renovations
• Utilities such as water, gas, or electricity
• Landscaping or cleaning services
• Property-specific maintenance costs

Property bills help ensure each building’s financial records remain accurate and separate, making it easier to report on profitability per property.

What is a Company Bill?

A company bill represents an expense tied to the property management company itself, not a single property. Examples include:

• Office rent or equipment
• Staff wages and benefits
• Software subscriptions and professional services
• Marketing or administrative costs

Company bills reflect the overall business operating expenses and are not charged to any individual property.
