Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting for Hospitality Properties

What each package includes

Each package builds on the one before it. Professional includes everything in Essential, and Premium includes everything in Professional.

Essential

For smaller, simpler properties. Core bookkeeping, reconciliations and basic statements.

Monthly bookkeeping

Income and operating expenses recorded and categorized, with the general ledger and chart of accounts maintained.

Bank and credit card reconciliation

All bank accounts and business cards reconciled monthly, with missing deposits and duplicates investigated.

Basic financial statements

Monthly profit and loss statement and balance sheet.

ProfessionalRecommended

Everything in Essential, plus:

Hotel revenue reconciliation

Revenue matched to PMS reports, deposits, OTA activity (such as Booking.com and Expedia) and merchant settlements.

Payroll accounting

Payroll entries, expenses and liabilities recorded and reconciled, coordinating with your payroll provider or CPA.

Month-end close

Reconciliations, accruals, prepaid expenses and adjusting entries completed before statements are issued.

Full financial statements

Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, general ledger, trial balance and bank reconciliation reports.

Management reporting

Month-over-month comparison, notable changes in expenses, unusual transactions and management commentary.

Premium

Everything in Professional, plus:

Accounts payable

Vendor bills entered, balances tracked, AP aging and a list of upcoming obligations.

Accounts receivable

Guest and customer balances tracked with AR aging and overdue follow-up.

Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed-asset register, additions, disposals and monthly depreciation, with a schedule for management and your CPA.

Departmental and budget-vs-actual reporting

Revenue and expense by department, and comparison against your budget when provided.

Hotel KPI reporting

Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, room revenue, revenue by department and trends.

Final scope is confirmed after a discovery call and depends on transaction volume, number of bank and credit card accounts, PMS and POS systems, payroll complexity and number of entities. Historical cleanup or setup work is scoped separately before monthly services begin.

Hotel and short-term rental bookkeeping

Hotels and rental operators have different revenue flows, so we match your books to the sources that apply to you.

For hotels

Revenue passes through your PMS, deposits, OTAs and card processors, and it is easy for the numbers to drift apart. We match revenue to PMS reports, deposits and merchant settlements, then report on room revenue, ADR, RevPAR and revenue by department.

For short-term rentals

Booking-channel payouts rarely line up with reservations one for one. We match payouts from channels such as Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia to your reservations, and report revenue and expenses by property or location so you can see how each one performs.

If you pay owners from your PMS, we can reconcile what it reports against your books. For owner statement setup or errors inside the PMS itself, see our InnRoad PMS support.

Questions, answered

What accounting software do you use?

We work in QuickBooks Online or another accounting platform we agree on with you.

Do you file taxes or run payroll?

No. Tax returns, sales, use and occupancy tax filing, payroll processing and payroll tax filings are not included, but can be quoted separately or handled by your CPA.

How quickly is the month closed?

We target closing the month by the 10th-15th business day after we receive all required records.

Can you clean up messy books?

Yes. Historical cleanup, chart-of-accounts restructuring and unreconciled accounts are scoped separately before monthly services begin.

Is there a contract?

Services are month-to-month after onboarding unless we agree a separate contract. A revised quote may apply if volumes, entities, accounts or payroll headcount are materially higher than first described.

Do you do bookkeeping for short-term rentals as well as hotels?

Yes. We match your books to the sources that apply to you: PMS reports, deposits and merchant settlements for hotels, and booking-channel payouts for rentals.

Can you work alongside my PMS reports and owner statements?

Yes. We reconcile revenue to your PMS reports, and if you pay owners from the PMS we can check that against your books. Fixing owner statement setup or errors in the PMS itself is covered by our InnRoad PMS support.
