Airbnb, VRBO, and short-term rentals look simple — until tax season, when tourist taxes, cleaning fees, and platform payouts turn into a mess. We make the money side of your rental as smooth as a five-star stay.
Running a short-term rental isn't passive income with a side of cleaning fees. It's a business with its own bookkeeping headaches: payouts landing from Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com on different schedules, expenses scattered across cleaners, supplies, repairs, and software, and a tax picture most owners get wrong.
Then there's Florida's tax maze. Short-term rentals here can owe state sales tax and county tourist development ("bed") taxes — and many hosts don't realize it until they're behind. Get the classification wrong (Schedule E versus Schedule C, passive versus active) and you either overpay or invite an audit.
Multiply that across a few properties, and "I'll just track it in a spreadsheet" stops working fast.
We handle the financial side so you can focus on bookings and guests:
Income tracking across every platform — Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and direct bookings, reconciled to your bank Expense capture and categorization — cleaning, supplies, repairs, utilities, management and platform fees Florida sales tax and county tourist/bed tax compliance, so you're never caught short Per-property profit and loss, so you know which rentals actually make money Correct tax treatment — Schedule E vs C, passive vs active, and depreciation done right Entity and tax strategy as your portfolio grows Clean financials when it's time to refinance, buy another property, or sell.
Plenty of accountants can file a return. Far fewer understand the short-term rental world — the platform payouts, the tourist-tax rules, the gray area between a rental and a business. With 20+ years of accounting and advisory experience, we turn the chaos of multi-platform hosting into clean books and a smart tax plan.
We're based in Palm Beach County and work with rental owners across South Florida, the entire state, and nationwide in person or virtually.
Whether you host one unit or run a portfolio, we'll keep your numbers clean, your taxes handled, and your rental working as hard as you do.
