Bookkeeping for Short-Term Rental & Airbnb Hosts
Payouts, cleaning fees, supplies, platform fees: STR money is messy. I keep it clean in QuickBooks so you know what each property actually earns, and you're not piecing it together at tax time.
Why STR books get messy fast
- Payouts aren't your revenue. Airbnb and Vrbo pay you net of their fees, so your real income and expenses are buried inside one lump deposit.
- Cleaning & turnover costs add up.Cleaners, restocks, linens, supplies: small recurring spend that's easy to lose track of.
- Multiple platforms, one bank account.Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct bookings all landing in the same place makes it hard to see what's working.
- More than one property. Without clean per-property numbers, a winner and a money-loser just average out and hide each other.
How I keep it clean
- Payouts reconciled and broken out. Gross booking income separated from platform fees and host costs, so your numbers are real.
- Cleaning & supply tracking. Turnover costs categorized consistently so you can see true cost per stay.
- Per-property numbers. Income and expenses tracked by property so you know which one actually makes money.
- Tax-time ready. Clean, categorized books your accountant or tax preparer can work from without untangling a year of deposits.
I host too, so I get it
I personally operate a short-term rental, so I know exactly how STR money flows and where it gets confusing. I'm not learning your business on your dime. I've reconciled these exact kinds of payouts, and I set the books up the way I'd want my own kept.
Clean books, the right way
I'm a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and fully insured, so your financial details stay confidential. This is bookkeeping that keeps your records tax-time ready and works alongside your accountant; I don't file taxes or do CPA work.
