Buildium + Go Fig
Connect Buildium to Go Fig for rent roll, delinquency aging, NOI by property, and owner reporting that ties to the general ledger.
Buildium runs the back office for residential, association, and small-portfolio managers, but the answers a controller needs (current rent roll, true delinquency, NOI by property, owner draws, and variance against budget) usually require a downloaded report, an Excel pivot, and a private workbook that is stale by the end of the week. Go Fig does not replace Buildium. It connects to the data Buildium exposes through its API, syncs the property, unit, lease, charge, and general-ledger graph, reconciles it against your other systems and the GL, and loads fresh, traceable numbers into the Excel workbooks your finance team already uses, automatically, every day. Celeste, Go Fig's AI analyst, works only on your data, inside your own security and compliance boundary, with a full audit trail back to the originating lease and ledger entry. Your financial data stays in your environment. It is never pasted into a public chatbot and is never used to train an outside model.

What you can do with Buildium data in Go Fig
Live rent roll and delinquency
A current rent roll joined to unit, lease, and tenant, with open charges rolled into aging buckets and reconciled against the AR balance in your GL, so the collections call list and the controller's AR aging are the same number.
NOI by property and portfolio
Income statement and NOI by property or association, built from Buildium ledger detail against your chart of accounts. Small-portfolio operators get true rollups every day instead of rebuilding the report at every close.
Owner statements and draws
Owner-level P&L, distributions, and draws reconciled against the GL so the statement that reaches an owner matches the ledger. A wrong number never leaves your environment unchecked.

How to connect Buildium
Generate a Buildium API key
In Buildium, enable the open API and create a dedicated API key (client ID and secret) with read access to the modules you want exposed (rent roll, AR, GL, payables). Keep the key separate from your human operators so rotation and audit trails stay clean.
Confirm your account and property scope
Confirm your Buildium account and the properties or associations you want to sync. Operators managing multiple portfolios can scope the connection and consolidate across books in Go Fig.
Pick the historical window
Three to five years of charges, payments, and GL entries is typical for small-portfolio managers rebuilding NOI trends and delinquency history. Go Fig backfills the window once, then syncs deltas on an ongoing basis.
Wire up the property-management workbooks and flows
Celeste ships starter flows for live rent roll, AR aging, NOI by property, owner statements, and budget versus actual. Point them at your Buildium connection and the data lands in the Excel workbooks your team already opens, refreshed automatically, with drill-down back to lease, charge, and ledger detail.
Authentication: Go Fig connects through Buildium's open API using a dedicated API key (a client ID and secret) provisioned for integration use and scoped to read access on the modules you choose to expose. Keep the credential separate from your human operators so rotation and audit trails stay clean.
Common Questions About Buildium Integration
Does Go Fig replace Buildium?
No. Go Fig connects to Buildium, reconciles its data against your general ledger and your other systems, and loads fresh, traceable numbers into the Excel workbooks your finance team already uses. Buildium stays the system of record. Go Fig removes the manual export, pivot, and copy-paste that makes those workbooks stale the moment you finish them.
Can Go Fig reconcile Buildium AR to the general ledger?
Yes. Go Fig joins open charges and unapplied payments against the AR balance in the Buildium GL and surfaces variances by tenant and property. A typical reconciliation surfaces miscoded payments, deposits posted to the wrong property, and move-outs that never closed out the recurring-charge schedule.
How are residential and association books handled?
Every row carries its property and association identifiers, so rental and community-association books can be reported separately or consolidated without rewriting the source query. Allocation and management-fee logic is handled as Go Fig flows so it is versioned and auditable.
Where does our financial data go, and is it used to train AI?
Your data stays in your own Go Fig environment, inside your security and compliance boundary. Celeste works only on your data and produces a full audit trail. Nothing is pasted into a public chatbot, and your financial data is never used to train an outside model.
How current is the Buildium data inside Go Fig?
Go Fig syncs incrementally, with a full reindex on a nightly cadence. Managers running collection cycles can dial sync tighter on charges and payments when the on-call analyst needs near-current visibility. The Excel workbooks your team uses refresh automatically, so the numbers are current when someone opens them instead of stale from last week's export.
