Built for lodging accounting

What a hotel needs that a general firm will not produce

USALI-compliant reporting

The Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry, applied properly — departmental statements, schedules and the summary operating statement in the format your brand and lender expect.

Night audit reconciliation

Daily reconciliation of the PMS to the ledger, so rooms revenue, taxes, city ledger and guest ledger tie out before the month closes.

Owner statements

Monthly owner reporting packages produced to the management agreement, including distributions, reserves and FF&E.

RevPAR, GOP and flow-through

Departmental profit, flow-through and cost per occupied room tracked against budget, so an occupancy gain that did not reach the bottom line gets explained.

F&B inside the hotel

Restaurant, bar and banquet operations accounted for with restaurant discipline — the outlets most lodging accountants treat as a rounding error.

Occupancy and lodging taxes

State and local occupancy tax, sales tax and commercial rent tax filed on schedule across jurisdictions.

Departmental analysis · illustrative

Where the revenue gain stopped

Revenue+$412k Rooms cost−$164k F&B cost−$118k Undistributed−$79k GOP+$51k Flow-through: 12.4% of incremental revenue reached GOP

A revenue-up, profit-flat month has a specific cause. The departmental waterfall names it.

Who this fits

Independents, boutiques, portfolios and management companies

Single properties that need a real accounting department without hiring one. Management companies reporting to multiple ownership groups on different agreements. Owners who want statements they can hand to a lender without an apology.

Do you work with brand-standard reporting requirements?

Yes. Reporting is produced in USALI format, which is what brand and lender requirements are generally written against.

Can you report to more than one ownership group?

Yes. Separate owner packages per property or per agreement, produced from one consolidated set of books.

See the reporting pack before you talk to anyone.

Ungated. It is the fastest way to judge whether we know lodging.
