Why KompasYour Portfolio
Kompas fits organisations that are scaling a real estate portfolio, or want to, without scaling back-office headcount at the same rate. It was designed by operators for operators who have grown from single properties to thousands of units, which shows up in the specifics rather than the pitch. The clearest way to judge is against portfolios that look like yours.
Why KompasYour Portfolio
Kompas is accounting first: the general ledger is the foundation, not an add-on, so every lease, renewal, work order and payment posts to the books as it happens rather than being exported to an accounting file later. Most platforms are sold in pieces you assemble and pay for separately; every Kompas subscription includes all core platform features and unlimited users. The team that built it managed and scaled real portfolios across three generations.
Why KompasYour Portfolio
Yes — Kompas generates RL-31 slips for Quebec tenants, produces official TAL leases as a registered reseller, handles GST, QST, HST and PST across provincial structures, and applies jurisdiction-aware renewal and notice rules across every Canadian province. Year-end reporting includes T776 and TP-1086 alongside detailed ledgers and trial balance. Data sits on Canadian servers. Payments cover North America only.
Why KompasYour Portfolio
Kompas was built by property managers who have scaled real portfolios, with three generations of property management experience behind the platform. That is why it leads with accounting rather than with a leasing funnel, and why the onboarding team are Chartered Professional Accountants rather than implementation coordinators. The design principle throughout is that the software fits the way you work rather than requiring you to bend your workflow to it.
Why KompasYour Portfolio
Yes — this is what the platform was structured for. Every owner, building and entity can carry its own chart of accounts and its own bank setup, with its own sales tax numbers, invoice templates and email on invoices. Settlement accounts work the same way, so payments route automatically to the correct bank account by method and building. Reporting rolls up or drills down from a single unit to the whole portfolio.
Why KompasYour Portfolio
Yes — a portfolio under 100 units is typically live in under 30 days, and every approval workflow that exists for larger teams can be bypassed if you are the whole team. The AP approval chain, for instance, is optional: a one-person operation can skip it and turn it on later as roles separate. Pricing is per unit, so a small portfolio is not paying for a structure it does not use.
Why KompasYour Portfolio
Yes — commercial and mixed-use are handled natively rather than being residential features stretched to fit. Sales tax calculates correctly by building and lease type, recoverable expenses can be pooled and recharged to commercial tenants under their lease terms, and invoices carry the right tax numbers per entity. Income reports break out residential income, commercial income, recoveries, parking and lockers separately.
Why KompasYour Portfolio
Less than you might expect, because the workflows are optional where they can be. The AP approval chain scales from a solo operator who bypasses it to a team with full segregation of duties, payment method is set per lease rather than portfolio-wide, portal access is invite-only building by building, and reporting is configured to the fields and groupings you want. Onboarding starts with a review of your business process for this reason.
Why KompasYour Portfolio
Yes — the structure that supports one building is the same one that supports hundreds across multiple owners and provinces, so growth does not mean a migration to a bigger product. Approval workflows turn on as your team separates duties, entities are added with their own chart of accounts and bank setup, and your subscription trues up each quarter based on active units rather than being renegotiated. Users stay unlimited at every size.
Kompas is built by property managers who’ve scaled real portfolios. We’re secure, open to the tools you already use, and ready for the people who depend on it.
Your financial and tenant data is encrypted on Canadian servers, with role-based access and SOC 2 compliance. Every document and change is logged, so the paper trail is always there when an owner or auditor asks.
An open API with two-way sync keeps Kompas in step with the tools you already use. You can even connect your data to the AI assistant of your choice to analyze it in ways legacy software couldn’t.
Our Chartered Professional Accountants move your books over accurately, verify every number, and stay with your team until the new system is running and everyone’s confident in it.
Residents pay rent, access their lease, and submit repairs from a self-service portal. No more late-night texts to your cell, and better communication for everyone. Because happier tenants who can help themselves are tenants who renew.
