On this week's episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke sits down with bookkeeper and real estate investor Ben Day of Lionshare Bookkeeping to demystify bookkeeping for short-term rental owners, from when you actually need a bookkeeper versus just a CPA to what clean books should look like. They dig into pricing for bookkeeping services, the difference between simple landlord books and complex trust accounting for property managers, and the tech stack Ben recommends—including tools like Tally Breeze, Get Clearing, Relay Financial, and QuickBooks Online to streamline STR finances and owner statements.
