Common problems we solve

Sound familiar?

Income from multiple platforms is a mess

Airbnb, VRBO, and direct bookings all deposit differently and most owners have no idea how to separate and record them correctly.

Expenses are all mixed up

Cleaning fees, maintenance, supplies, and platform commissions are all hitting the same account with no organization or categorization.

If you manage properties for others or take draws from your rental income, those transactions need to be recorded properly or your books will never balance.

Busy summers and slow winters create cash flow gaps that are hard to plan for without current accurate books showing where you stand.

Why vacation rental owners need dedicated bookkeeping

“Bookkeeping for vacation rentals is more complex than most owners realize. Airbnb and VRBO do not pay out what guests actually paid, they deduct platform fees, cleaning fees, and taxes before sending you money. If those transactions are not recorded correctly, your income will look wrong and your expenses will be understated. That’s where proper bookkeeping for vacation rentals makes the difference: Mike sets up your QuickBooks to handle all of that correctly, every platform, every property, every month, so your books accurately reflect what your rental business is actually earning and spending .

Common questions from Vacation Rental Owners

Can you handle income from both Airbnb and VRBO?

Can you handle bookkeeping for multiple properties?

Yes, Mike can set up your QuickBooks to track income and expenses separately for each property so you can see how each one is performing individually.

How much does bookkeeping cost?
