Describe your experience reconciling Airbnb and Vrbo payouts. 3. Which accounting platforms and STR property-management systems have you worked with? 4. How do you structure QuickBooks for a client who owns multiple STR properties so we can produce accurate property-level and portfolio-level reporting? 5. Please provide a REDACTED example of a monthly financial report or owner report you have personally prepared for an STR client. 6. How do you handle expenses that apply to multiple properties versus expenses attributable to one property? 7. Have you worked with STR management companies or co-hosting businesses in addition to individual property owners? 8. Are you comfortable working behind the Coast to Cabin brand and following our standardized reporting format and SOPs? 9. Do you personally perform the bookkeeping, or would another member of your team perform the work? 10. What would you charge per property per month once the bookkeeping process is standardized? Please give us a PER-PROPERTY monthly price in addition to your normal hourly rate. We are specifically interested in developing a long-term relationship with someone who can help us build a scalable bookkeeping operation as the Coast to Cabin portfolio grows.
