Clearing + StayLedger: Expert Bookkeeping for Short-Term Rentals

Short-Term Rental operators do not struggle with the idea of bookkeeping. They struggle with turning messy reservation data, payouts, platform fees, and expenses into books they can trust. That is why Clearing is partnering with StayLedger Bookkeeping, a bookkeeping team built for Short-Term Rental property management companies from day one.

This partnership combines Clearing’s trust accounting and financial automation platform with StayLedger’s Short-Term Rental bookkeeping services. Together, we help property managers, cohosts, and owner-operators stay organized, close month-end with confidence, and keep reporting ready when owners, lenders, and tax professionals need it.

A Bookkeeping Team That Speaks STR

StayLedger’s service offerings were designed specifically for property management companies and explicitly supports common STR realities like platform fees, cleaning fees, occupancy taxes, owner draws, and reimbursable expense management. Their approach pairs automation with human review to catch issues like revenue leaks, duplicate charges, and miscoded expenses.

StayLedger also supports workflows and tooling that many STR teams already use, including operational accounting in QuickBooks Online, plus connected bank feeds and reservation system reviews.

What This Partnership Enables?

StayLedger utilizes Clearing to support shared clients with trust accounting workflows and month-to-month financial operations. The goal is simple: accurate books, clean reporting, and clear visibility into performance without living in spreadsheets.

For operators, it means pairing a specialized STR bookkeeping team with a platform designed for property-level financial clarity and trust accounting discipline.

Who This Partnership Supports?

This collaboration is designed for operators who want dependable monthly reporting and a clear financial system that scales as complexity increases. It is especially helpful for:

  • STR property managers who want bookkeeping support with consistent monthly workflows
  • Cohosts and owner-operators who want accurate reporting without manual cleanup
  • Operators managing Airbnb, Vrbo, or direct bookings who need clean, unified financials
  • Growing teams that want better visibility into property performance and owner reporting

Why It Matters?

When STR bookkeeping falls behind, month-end becomes reactive and owner reporting confidence drops. This partnership helps bring structure to the workflows that matter most so operators can make decisions based on real numbers.

✅ STR-specific bookkeeping built around real reservation and payout complexity

✅ P&L by property and owner statements delivered on a defined timeline

✅ Add-ons for deeper support like review calls, KPI dashboards, and clean-up work

✅ A partner focused on clarity, confidence, and actionable insight, not just categorization

Ready for Cleaner Books and Better Reporting?

This partnership is live now. If you want a reliable monthly close, better reporting, and more confidence in your numbers, Clearing and StayLedger can support you.
