What app are you using for accounting?

Hello, I have one short term rental and am wondering what app you're using to keep track of income and expenses also reciepts? Thank you!

Hi @Molly559,

You can streamline your expense tracking for your Airbnb by enhancing your current spreadsheet system or using a dedicated app like QuickBooks or Stessa.

These tools can automatically categorize expenses, integrate receipts (including Amazon purchases and service provider emails), and provide a clear overview of your finances. If you prefer to stick with spreadsheets, consider adding features like separate tabs for categories, automated formulas for totals, and receipt links for better organization and efficiency.

As for income, I rely mostly with Airbnb's transaction history.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Upfish Management

@Molly559  I am with @Alicia753 .  I use Quickbooks desktop.  I am old lol .  I have been using it for 20 years and my accountant loves it because most accounting firms use QB.  

Personally I am not a fan of QB online mainly because the look and feel is very different than the desktop version which I was brought up on.  

You can do a test drive with QB online for a free trial.  If you have one rental and don't need class tracking, (multiple properties to track), the basis QB online might be the way to go.
