Airbnb, VRBO and short-term rentals
Bookkeeping for short-term rental hosts
Platform payouts don't match your bookings. Fees, refunds and taxes get netted out before the money arrives. We set up the books so each property's real numbers show up.
Why the books get messy
Payouts are net of fees and sometimes bundle several stays. Cleaning fees, supplies and repairs come from different cards. Some places charge occupancy taxes, and the rules depend on the town and platform.
What we track
Gross bookings, platform fees and payouts, per property. Cleaning, supplies, utilities, mortgage interest and repairs. Anything collected for taxes shown separately from income.
Taxes
How rental income is reported depends on your situation. Ask a tax professional. We keep the books they'll need.
