💰Connect QuickBooks to your Business, and make accounting a breeze!

Accounting can be… hairy! Especially during tax season 😱 But it doesn’t have to be. On our Mogul plan, accounting is a breeze. And for those of you using QuickBooks, it just got even breezier!Hospitable’s QuickBooks integration is here! Connect QuickBooks to your Business, and our recommended configuration will be based on your specific business model (Owner, Manager, Arbitrage). You can create as many Businesses as you need. Roll with our accounting recommendations, designed by our Accountant in Residence, Brandon Huetteman, CPA (who is himself an owner, manager and arbitrage...er), or customize the setup to meet your specific needs. Use Classes within a single QuickBooks account to track profits by Business and more granularly by Property, alleviating the need for multiple QuickBooks accounts. Choose the date to start syncing QuickBooks. If you haven’t done any accounting yet this year, pick January 1, 2025 and we’ll take care of the hard parts 😏Not on Mogul yet, and curious to lea
