How does Airbnb payout reconciliation work?

LedgerHelm imports your Airbnb and VRBO transaction history and reconciles each payout to your bank deposit, breaking out gross rental income, platform service fees, cleaning fees collected, and any adjustments separately.

How many properties can I track?

Host AI covers up to 3 properties. Host Managed covers up to 10. Host Pro is unlimited.

Do you handle occupancy taxes?

LedgerHelm tracks occupancy tax collected and remitted as separate line items. STR tax compliance awareness is included on Host Pro.

My cleaner is a contractor — do you handle their 1099?

Yes, on Host Pro. LedgerHelm identifies cleaning contractors paid over the IRS 1099 reporting threshold, collects their W-9, and files their 1099-NEC via TaxBandits. $50 per contractor add-on.

I own properties in separate LLCs — can you handle that?

Yes on Host Pro. Each LLC is a separate tenant with its own books, and you can view a consolidated report across all your properties.

Bookkeeping for short-term rental hosts

Know exactly how much each Airbnb property is making you — after every fee.

LedgerHelm reconciles your Airbnb and VRBO payouts, separates platform fees from your actual income, and tracks every expense by property — so your Schedule E is ready when your CPA needs it. From $99/mo.

Sound familiar?

Airbnb's payouts are confusing — cleaning fees, platform fees, and adjustments are all mixed together

I have three properties and no idea which one is actually profitable after expenses

I know I should be tracking depreciation on my furniture and appliances but I never do

My cleaning lady is a contractor and I've never sent her a 1099

My CPA charges me extra every year to sort out my STR books

If you answered yes to any of these, LedgerHelm was built for you.
