QuickBooks Setup for Owner/Property Manager — Looking for Help
Hi everyone! I’m looking for some help properly setting up QuickBooks with Hospitable for an Owner/Property Manager setup.
I’ve gone through onboarding, but the assistance seems to focus mainly on connecting QuickBooks to Hospitable. What I really need help with is configuring QuickBooks correctly after the connection so the accounting workflow makes sense.
I own some of the properties I manage, but I also manage properties for other owners. I’d like to make sure things are set up correctly for:
• Owner vs. property manager income
• Individual properties/owners
• Guest payments and payouts
• Airbnb/VRBO fees
• Management fees
• Cleaning fees and other pass-through expenses
• Owner payouts/statements
• Security deposits, if applicable
• Proper income and expense categorization
• Reconciliation without double-counting income
Ideally, I’d love to speak with someone who is already using Hospitable + QuickBooks in a property-management environment and could help me understand the recommended structure and workflow.
Is there anyone in the community who has this working successfully and would be willing to share their setup or even provide some one-on-one help?
I’m less concerned with how to connect QuickBooks and more concerned with how QuickBooks should actually be configured so the books are correct once Hospitable starts sending the data over.
Thanks in advance!
