Accounting is complicated, and the mortgage lending process is complicated, which means that mortgage accounting is complicated. In many cases, mortgage accounting is astoundingly more complex than most non-mortgage CPAs consider.
Running a successful mortgage company requires proficiency in accounting. The books and records created are the means by which the rest of the world is measuring your business's success. The leaders of a mortgage company must be able to understand the numbers and know how to create a profitable trajectory.
The following PowerPoint was created to help you understand those basics so you can be set up for success.
