Bookkeeping Software made for your Bnb is here!

I want to let you in on a little secret. Behind the scenes I have been working with Noah Weitzman, on a board with a lot of other great minds in the Bnb industry to bring to you a much needed service: an accounting/bookkeeping software specifically for short term rental owners. This software will save you hours and headaches every month by making accounting and bookkeeping faster and simpler while immediately giving you important metrics to help you manage and grow your business. Stick around because I’ve included an offer below to allow to become a Beta user for free!

She told him that I got her inspired to start Co-hosting and she already has three properties she’s airbnbing! Awesome!
