Overwhelmed with Bookkeeping. How to get organized/Back on Track

[Cassidy Burns]

Good Morning BP,

As Tax Season approaches, and this being my first full year of real estate investing, I realize that the one task that I personally am absolutely am horrible at and hate doing is bookkeeping. I have tired google sheets, quickbooks, writing everything down but I just can't seem to find a good system that works for me and/or that I can easily and systematically implement. I have hired 2 VA's over the past 2-3 months to input data into quickbooks and they haven't panned out either.

Do you have suggestions on a low cost yet effective way to get this off of my plate/have everything in one place?  I know I could have my accountant do this but it is extremely expensive for the 11 properties that I currently have. I do however plan to purchase 20+ units this year but feel as if I should get this system in place before I get in over my head.  

Any online platforms/property management platforms that are efficient for this?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
