Frequently asked questions
STR accounting packages and pricing, answered.
Clear answers about service packages, tailored pricing, and financial support for professional short-term rental property managers.
How much do HostAllies short-term rental accounting services cost?
HostAllies provides tailored pricing after reviewing your service package, portfolio, systems, transaction volume, account structure, current record quality, and the financial responsibilities your Ally will own. The consultation gives us enough context to recommend the right scope before presenting pricing.
Which HostAllies accounting package is right for my vacation rental management company?
Trust Accounting is designed for the owner-fund and compliance foundation. Managed Accounting adds recurring bookkeeping, operations accounting, company financials, and reporting. Proactive Financial Management adds fractional CFO support, budgeting, forecasting, planning and analysis support, benchmarking, and advisory for management company growth.
What affects STR accounting pricing?
The main factors include property and owner count, booking channels, bank accounts and entities, monthly transaction volume, trust accounting requirements, owner and vendor workflows, reporting needs, service cadence, and whether historical cleanup is required.
Can HostAllies support a growing short-term rental portfolio?
Yes. The service structure is designed to add financial capability as a professional property management company grows. We confirm the starting package, responsibilities, and operating cadence, then identify which services should be added as complexity increases.
Does accounting cleanup change the scope?
It can. When company books, trust balances, or operating workflows need correction, HostAllies may recommend a defined cleanup or stabilization phase before recurring service begins. That work is scoped separately and explained before the engagement starts.
What happens during the pricing consultation?
An Ally reviews your portfolio, property management software, accounting platform, current finance process, and the outcomes you need. We use the conversation to map responsibilities, recommend a package, identify add-ons, and prepare a tailored scope and pricing discussion.
