Regardless of how competent he/she is.What he is describing can certainly be done in Quickbooks but there would have to be consistent dialogue between the bookkeeper/client especially if he is doing it often.Steve would likely need to transfer the 'system' he has by coding his receipts to inputting the information to excel to give to the bookkeeper.Not saying that it can't be done but he has to be mindful that there will be work on his end and it is not just handing over the monthly bank statements.

I misunderstood the context of what you were saying.I brought the topic up, because no one knows everything, and I was interested in having dialogue on the topic.I have experience, just no experience contacting attorney directly, which is why I brought it up to see what other professionals thought, in case others have already done it.

As much as you would like to, I will not continue this dialogue in a public forum with you.

If one of the applicants is a rock star in your opinion, find any way to continue your dialogue with them. 

I know MA has some very specific lease termination rules so the other thing is I'd start the dialogue with a local atty to ensure you're crossing t's and dotting i's in advance so once you have the proof you need there's no question that you followed the law. 

I think that communication is part of the "problem" with the trouble tenants since it opens the "dialogue".

If he refuses to engage in dialogue with you, and you have a legitimate claim, then prepare for small claims court.If he is licensed, bonded, or insured then contact the department of labor and industry, or the equivalent for your jurisdiction.

While I typically engage in dialogue, given both that and howyou've doubled down on your lonely take, it’s unproductive for me to take timeto further debate you on this thread.

I find that having the right approach as you dialogue with the tenants to come up with a win-win is KEY to getting them to pay something. 

Hopefully that answers your question, appreciate the dialogue!
