Short-Term Rental Bookkeeping Software, Branded | HelloBooks Keep vacation and short-term rental host books under your firm’s brand. Reconcile booking payouts, cleaning fees and property costs for every listing.

Short-term rental hosts

Short-term rental bookkeeping software on your firm’s own platform

Short-term rental hosts earn through booking platforms and direct stays, pay cleaners after every turnover and restock supplies constantly. Bookkeepers who serve hosts and co-hosts help them see which listing earns its keep. The HelloBooks White-Label License lets you keep those books in software carrying your firm’s brand, so hosts sign in to your platform to review each property.

Payouts, cleaning fees and turnovers

Booking platform payouts arrive net of host fees and sometimes combine several stays. Hosts export their payout summaries, and your reviewers record gross rent, cleaning fees collected and platform charges separately. Bank reconciliation confirms each payout, and AI categorisation handles cleaners, linens and restocking purchases.

Hosts are listed in your console with their close progress and any payouts still waiting on review. That helps when a host with several listings forgets to send a month of payout summaries, because the gap is visible long before year-end reporting.

  • Record gross rent, cleaning fees and platform charges
  • Reconcile payouts to bank deposits
  • Code turnover cleaning and restocking costs
  • Report results per listing

Listing-level results and local rules

Hosts want to know which property is worth keeping. Tagging income and costs to each listing gives your firm that answer in a branded report. Lodging taxes, local permits and rental rules vary widely, and hosts and your firm remain responsible for them, as well as for depreciation and any tax positions.

Hosts who hold each property in a separate LLC can keep a ledger per company on the higher plans. Your firm can add reviewers during the summer peak, when turnovers and payouts multiply, and never pays a per-seat charge for them.

Host packages priced by your firm

Each host company stays on a published HelloBooks plan, and your practice has a firm discount on every one. HelloBooks invoices only your firm. You set a per-listing or flat fee and bill hosts directly, so a single-cabin owner and a multi-property operator can each get a package that fits.

Your firm owns the data and can export it for a refinance, a property sale or a host who hands management to a co-host, keeping every listing’s history. Founding firms are being accepted now, which suits bookkeepers serving vacation markets.

One flat license covers your brand, unlimited staff and the firm console. Your clients stay on published HelloBooks plans, and your firm gets 20% off each one. Founding firms go live first on a firm subdomain; your own domain and email from your domain follow at full launch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do booking payouts get recorded?
Hosts export payout summaries or upload statements, and your reviewers record gross rent, cleaning fees and platform charges separately before reconciling each deposit to the bank.
Can each listing be reported on its own?
Yes. Your reviewers tag income and costs to each listing, and hosts with separate LLCs can use higher plans with multi-entity books so every property keeps its own ledger.
Does HelloBooks file lodging taxes?
No. Lodging taxes, permits and local rules remain the host’s and your firm’s responsibility. HelloBooks records the related transactions for your review and keeps them organised.
Will hosts see HelloBooks branding?
No. They sign in on your firm’s branded page, and reports and statements use your templates, logo and colours throughout, so hosts see your practice at every step.
