Yes. The Custom Permissions role lets you scope access to specific sections of the platform for each person you invite.
No. Homeowners can only see their own property’s transactions and statements, not your full account.
No. Accountant and Employee roles can review and categorize transactions but can’t initiate payments or move funds.
No. Pay from your existing bank account, or from your Clearing balance, whichever fits how you already operate.

There’s no daily limit on outgoing funds, and payments can be sent via standard, next-day, or same-day ACH.
No. Payments are included in your Clearing subscription with no additional per-transaction fees.
Payments from an external bank account typically settle in 2 to 4 business days, or 1 to 2 business days from your Clearing balance. Same-day and next-day ACH are also available for faster processing.
Co-Host Statements handle that structure specifically, reflecting the different revenue split and responsibilities of a co-hosting arrangement rather than a standard owner/PMC relationship.
Yes. Your business name, address, and logo display on the statement.
Yes, homeowners have their own portal to review statements and transaction history directly.
Yes. Bulk generation creates statements for every owner in a given period in one pass, refreshing the latest booking data from your PMS first.
Owner statements are generated from the same Reporting section, using the reconciled transaction data already reflected in your homeowner reports, so there’s no separate reconciliation step to do first.
It replaces the manual assembly. Clearing generates the P&L directly from reconciled transactions, so you’re reviewing a finished report instead of building one from scratch each period.
Yes. Reports export to Excel, or integrate directly with QuickBooks so your accountant is working from the same numbers you are.
A management report shows what your company earned, commissions, markups, and expenses billed to management. A homeowner report shows the same period from the owner’s side: their revenue, their expenses, and their net income.
Yes. Both management and homeowner reports can be filtered by asset, owner, and date range.
Clearing integrates with tools like Ramp for card spend and receipt capture, and with maintenance platforms like SuiteOp, so service jobs and their costs flow straight into your books, mapped to the right property, without manual entry.
Attach them directly to the transaction. Clearing keeps them matched to the expense so you’re not digging through email when an owner has a question.
Yes. Each transaction can be assigned to a specific homeowner, your management company, or excluded from billing altogether, so owner statements only ever reflect what they’re actually responsible for.
Clearing supports ACH transfers only. This applies to vendor payments, homeowner distributions, and any other payouts made through the platform.
You can automate your bookkeeping by creating rules based on account, merchant, transaction type, listing, and more. Schedule a demo to see how rules work in practice.
Yes. Create as many custom categories and tags as you need to run your bookkeeping exactly the way you want.
Yes. Transactions can be allocated by homeowner, so every owner statement ties out cleanly.
Clearing connects your PMS, payment processors, and bank accounts in one platform, then matches transaction data across those sources to automatically categorize and allocate each one by listing.
Security practices at Clearing include:
- HTTPS required on all pages, with HSTS to ensure browsers only ever connect over a secure connection
- Annual third-party penetration testing to check for vulnerabilities
- Passwords stored hashed with bcrypt; plaintext passwords are never stored or logged
- Two-factor authentication using time-based one-time passwords; authentication codes are never sent over insecure channels like SMS
- Full encryption of our database and all uploaded images
- Card numbers are never accessed or stored
Yes. Clearing uses Plaid to securely connect your bank accounts, and Plaid gives you control over your data, including who it’s shared with, for what purpose, and for how long. Plaid does not sell your personal data.
Plaid is a financial technology company that securely connects your bank accounts to the apps you use, including Clearing.
There are two ways to link an external bank account:
- Instant verification via Plaid. Link your bank account directly through Plaid, and manage transactions from that account in Clearing right away.
- Micro-deposit verification. We send two small deposits to the external account. You confirm the amounts in Clearing to verify ownership.
Yes. Clearing partners with a network of chartered accountants (CPAs) and trust accounting experts who provide services like bookkeeping and year-end filings for Clearing clients.
Clearing integrates with Hospitable, Hostfully, Hostex, Hostify, Jurny, OwnerRez, Tokeet, Lodgify, Guesty, Streamline, Hostaway, AdvanceCM, Direct, FantasticStay, and Uplisting. We’re adding new integrations regularly, so let us know if you don’t see yours on the integration list.
Yes. Every Clearing plan includes full trust accounting by default, there’s no separate add-on or extra cost.
Clearing was built specifically for STR trust accounting and reconciliation complexity. Most PMS accounting tools are designed primarily for operations, not financial controls or multi-owner accounting workflows. Clearing provides dedicated trust accounting and bookkeeping automation with three-way reconciliation, role-based access, owner statements, and portable accounting records that stay independent from any single PMS platform.
Clearing is purpose-built for STR trust accounting. The platform tracks money movement across reservations, payouts, owners, vendors, and bank activity so every dollar is reconciled and properly accounted for. From reservation revenue to owner distributions, Clearing gives operators reconciled financial records with full visibility into where funds came from and where they went.
Say a homeowner’s property earns $2,000 from a booking. That $2,000 isn’t the property manager’s money, it belongs to the owner, minus whatever management fee was agreed on. Under trust accounting, that $2,000 sits in a trust balance tracked specifically to that owner, separate from the property manager’s own operating cash. When it’s time to pay the owner, the records show exactly how that $2,000 breaks down: the owner’s share, the management fee, and any expenses deducted, before the payout goes out. If the property manager were managing 50 properties for 30 different owners, trust accounting is what keeps all 30 owners’ money distinct and accurately tracked, rather than one large pool nobody can cleanly break apart.
Yes. Transactions can be exported to Excel for further analysis or to share with your accountant or bookkeeper.
Rules and automated categorization are built for exactly this. Set allocation logic once by channel, property, or transaction type, and Clearing applies it to every future transaction that matches.
No. You can use Clearing even without a property management system in place.
Clearing is AI-powered trust accounting and bookkeeping automation, purpose-built for short-term rental property managers. It organizes and reconciles cash flow from your PMS, payment processors, and bank accounts in one place, collects funds, and pays homeowners accurately and on time, so books close faster and every distribution is accurate.
Yes, you can link as many Stripe accounts as you need.
Most property managers are set up within a day. Connect your sources, and Clearing starts categorizing and reconciling automatically.
Clearing doesn’t offer a free trial, but we do offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can get started risk-free and see Clearing on your own numbers.
Yes. You can opt out of auto-renewal at any time before your current billing cycle ends.
No. Clearing connects to your property management software so booking and reservation data flows in automatically. It’s the financial layer, not a replacement for how you run operations.
Not necessarily. Clearing handles the STR-specific bookkeeping and reconciliation your PMS and QuickBooks weren’t built for, then pushes reconciled transactions and monthly reports to QuickBooks if that’s where your accountant works.
No. Connect your existing bank accounts. You can keep your current account structure or open additional accounts, either way works.
Vacation rental trust accounting is the practice of holding each homeowner’s booking revenue in a separate, trackable balance rather than mixing it with the property manager’s own operating funds. Because a single property manager collects money on behalf of many different owners, often through multiple booking platforms, trust accounting keeps each owner’s share clearly identified from the moment a reservation is paid through the moment they’re paid out, so nothing gets commingled or lost track of along the way.
Yes, any domestic US bank account can be paid from Clearing via ACH.
Yes. Each journal entry can be assigned to a specific category and property.
Yes. You can split a single transaction into multiple line items, each with its own category or property allocation.
Yes.
Bookkeepers and accountants can view transactions and edit categories and property allocations. They cannot move funds.
Homeowners can view their own property finances, including transactions, reports, and balances. They can export their data and block dates on their property calendars, but can’t edit financial records, move funds, or see other owners’ properties.
Yes. Clearing generates owner statements that can be customized and sent directly to homeowners by email.
Yes. You can edit each owner statement to hide or add line items, and include your company logo for branded reporting.
Nope, demos are free. We’ll give you a walkthrough of our software, and discuss how it will impact your specific setup.
Most demos take about 30 minutes, enough to show how Clearing automates your bookkeeping and trust accounting.
Yes. Every new account includes a guided onboarding session to walk through setup and train your team on the platform, plus ongoing access to a dedicated support team for questions after you’re live.
