QuickBooks bookkeeping for hotels, motels and serviced apartments

Accounts, bonds and property costs in QuickBooks

We work from your reservation system's reports and the bills and statements you receive.

• Stays charged to a company, travel agent or group organiser invoiced on account, with payments set against the invoices they clear
• A monthly list, taken from the aged receivables report, of account customers who are overdue, ready for you to chase
• Security bonds taken from guests tracked against their bookings, using the treatment your accountant specifies, until each is refunded or applied to a damage charge
• Drinks, snacks and other reception sales set up as inventory items, if your QuickBooks plan includes inventory, so quantities on hand rise with each delivery recorded and fall with each sale entered against the item
• Refurbishment, new furniture and replacement appliances kept apart from routine repairs, with each invoice attached, leaving the treatment of each to your accountant
• Supported bank and card accounts connected through Open Banking, with any account that cannot connect, including a term deposit where applicable, recorded from its statements
• Every account, connected or not, checked against its statement in QuickBooks each month, with any difference listed and explained, and anything the records can't explain put to you

Businesses by main state or territory

These counts are for the ANZSIC class Accommodation, which covers hotels, motels, serviced apartments and similar businesses. Many individuals who rent out a room or a home are not in this class, so the counts describe accommodation businesses rather than every host.
