Numera Commercial real estate

One close for every property, proven line by line.

Numera is Velofy's commercial real estate product. Agents draft the month-end across every property and project entity, on the ledgers you already keep. A person approves each entry, then Numera reads it back from the ledger and seals it into an audit chain.

01 The problem

Real estate is many sets of books, closed by hand.

A portfolio is a stack of entities, often on more than one ledger. The entries that decide the month are judgements built from subledgers. And no finance team will let software post to the books unreviewed, rightly.

  1. 01

    An entity for every property and project

    Each building, fund and development keeps its own books. The group view is rebuilt in a spreadsheet each month, and intercompany balances are matched by eye.

  2. 02

    The entries that matter most are the hardest

    Over and under billing, retainage, depreciation, leases and foreign balances are period-end adjustments derived from job cost and registers, not ordinary postings. They are where a close slips.

  3. 03

    Nobody hands the books to a black box

    Automation that posts on its own, or cannot show the entry behind a number, never earns a place in the ledger. Accountability has to be built into every write.

02 The product

The month-end close, run across the portfolio.

One console. Ask in plain English, or let the close cockpit run the month in order. Reads run at once; every write becomes a proposal you approve. The numbers below are the console's own page codes.

5000

Close cockpit

A checklist whose steps know their own status: receivables, chases, recurring journals, triage, bank, variances, lock and sign-off, with an agent one click away on each.

GROUP

Consolidation across entities

A group trial balance over every connected entity. Intercompany balances are matched pair by pair and eliminated with a balanced journal you confirm.

5060

Bank reconciliation

Books matched to the statement, the exact difference shown with the items that explain it, fees and interest booked, timing items cleared.

5070

Uncategorised triage

Codes what it recognises, learns how you code each vendor, and turns the genuine unknowns into clear questions instead of guesses.

5050 · 5055

Recurring journals and schedules

Accruals saved once and re-posted each period. Prepayments released and deferred revenue recognised, with the final period absorbing the rounding.

5057

Fixed-asset register

Cost, accumulated depreciation and net book value per asset. Straight-line or reducing balance, and disposals with the gain or loss booked.

5200

Cash flow outlook

Ninety days forward from invoice due dates and payables, with the projected low point and what to do about it.

5250

FX revaluation

Foreign balances retranslated at the closing rate in one balanced journal, for portfolios that span the United States and Europe.

5100

Aged receivables

Worst first, reconciled to the general ledger, with chase drafts for anything overdue.

5085

VAT return

The nine boxes built from your tax codes, the UK domestic reverse charge for construction services handled, and the filing deadline tracked.

5090

Anomaly guard

Duplicate journals reversed and duplicate records voided, through the same approval path as every other write.

5080 · 5081

Sign-off and Close Pack

Material variances explained, the period locked, and the close bundled into one signed document for the file.

03 Document intake

Drop in the file. It reads it against the ledger.

A rent roll export, a bank statement, a supplier invoice, a photo of a receipt. CSV, Excel and PDF are parsed; images are read visually. Answers come from your ledger, and whatever is missing comes back as entries to approve.

Illustration on demo data. Units, tenants and amounts are examples.

04 Real estate accounting

It knows how real estate money moves.

Numera reads its own knowledge before it reasons: one entry per accounting topic and field notes per platform, built from the vendors' documentation. The real estate and construction parts run deep.

What it reads before it reasons

20 topics · 11 platforms
  • Job costEvery cost line carries its job, cost code and cost type. The general ledger is the summary; job cost is the operational truth, and the two must reconcile.
  • Commitments and change ordersSubcontracts and purchase orders set the committed cost; change orders revise the budget and the contract value.
  • Percentage of completionPercent complete, cost to cost. Earned revenue against billed to date gives the over or under billing entry at period end.
  • RetainageHeld on both sides, receivable from the owner and payable to subcontractors, in dedicated accounts and released later.
  • LeasesRight-of-use asset and lease liability under IFRS 16 and ASC 842, with operating and finance kept apart where US rules require it.
  • Entities and currenciesIntercompany and consolidation, multicurrency and foreign operations, revaluation at the closing rate.

Sage 300 CRE

Connector on the roadmap

The field notes are already written, so the connector starts from knowledge.

Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, formerly Timberline, is job-cost first and has no general-purpose cloud API. Numera's notes say how to work with it safely.

  • ReadOver ODBC, which is a reporting path, never a way to post.
  • WriteAs import batches a person posts inside Sage, each with a unique batch reference so a retry never double-posts.
  • CheckPeriods lock per application, so accounts payable, job cost and the general ledger are each checked before an import.
  • NeverWrites to the data files directly.

05 Every write

Nothing posts until a person says yes. Then it is proven.

The trusted write layer sits under every action Numera takes on a ledger, whether you asked in the console or the close cockpit ran the step. Reads are free. Writes are guarded.

  1. Step 1 Agent

    Propose

    The entry is drafted in full and must balance, debits equal to credits in each currency, before it can even be shown.

  2. Step 2 You

    Confirm

    Nothing reaches the ledger until a person clicks yes. Reject it and the agent redrafts. Closed periods are checked first.

  3. Step 3 Ledger

    Read back

    The posted record is re-read and diffed against the proposal line by line, so a post to the wrong account is caught even when the totals tie.

  4. Step 4 Chain

    Seal

    Every action is signed into a tamper-evident chain with who prepared it and who confirmed it. Change a row and the seal breaks.

Auto-approve is off by default
Turning it on is a per-session choice, and the choice is recorded.
Two-party control
With it enforced, the account that prepared an entry cannot confirm it. The agent prepares, a person confirms.
Closed periods stay closed
A post into a locked period is blocked before the proposal renders.
A documented way back
Any posted journal can be reversed, every debit and credit swapped, through the same path.
An audit packet per period
One export, printable for an auditor or an acquirer, with the ledger's integrity verdict.

06 Dexter underneath

Built on Dexter. Runs natively in the cloud.

Dexter is Velofy's multi-agent harness. When a close splits into independent parts, Dexter hands them to parallel subagents and brings the results back in order. Numera adds what accounting needs on top. Like every Velofy product, it runs natively in the cloud, and it is fast.

Numera

Commercial real estate

The accounting layer: what a close needs that a general harness does not.

  • Close cockpit
  • Console
  • Real estate knowledge
  • Platform adapters
  • Trusted write layer

Dexter

Multi-agent harness

Splits independent work across parallel subagents, at most eight at once, each with the context its task needs.

  • scout
  • planner
  • worker
  • reviewer

The cloud

Native

Numera runs natively in the cloud, next to the ledgers it works on.

07 Who it serves

For the firms that own, develop and build commercial property.

In the United States and Europe, principally the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany. Numera takes on a handful of companies at a time, because onboarding is hands-on.

  • Owners and operators

    Property entities closed every month: bank, receivables, recurring charges, depreciation from the register, and variances explained before sign-off.

  • Developers

    An entity per project, intercompany funding between them, and a group view that no longer lives in a spreadsheet.

  • General contractors and subcontractors

    Job cost by job, cost code and cost type, with over and under billing and retainage drafted at period end for approval.

  • Controllers and small finance teams

    Where the controller is the bottleneck: the grunt work drafted, every entry still yours to approve, and a trail you can hand over.

09 Questions

Straight answers.

Does Numera replace our accounting system?

No. It sits on top of the ledgers you already keep and works through one common surface. No migration, no new system of record. Your numbers stay where they are.

Can it post to our books without approval?

No. Every write is proposed first as a balanced entry, and nothing reaches the ledger until a person confirms it. Auto-approve is off by default. After posting, Numera re-reads the entry and diffs it line by line, then seals it into a tamper-evident audit chain.

Which ledgers does it work with?

Write-back on QuickBooks Online and Sage Intacct. Connect and read on Xero, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 Business Central and Sage 300. Sage 300 CRE, QuickBooks Desktop and Sage 50 are on the roadmap. Write-back verification runs end to end on the built-in demo ledger.

Does it understand construction and development accounting?

Yes. Its knowledge covers job cost by job, cost code and cost type, commitments and change orders, percentage of completion, over and under billing, retainage, leases under IFRS 16 and ASC 842, and consolidation across entities. The Sage 300 CRE field notes are written; the connector is on the roadmap.

What does Dexter do inside Numera?

Dexter is the multi-agent harness underneath. When work splits into independent parts, it runs them as parallel subagents and returns the results in order. Numera adds the accounting knowledge, the platform adapters and the trusted write layer on top.

Is Numera SOC 2 certified?

Not yet. A SOC 2 examination is in progress. We would rather state where we stand than put a badge on the page.
