Hotels & Hospitality reconciliation workflow
Hotels and hospitality businesses receive revenue from a complex mix of channels — direct bookings via credit card, OTA (Online Travel Agency) net deposits from Booking.com, Expedia, and Airbnb, and group billing via invoice. Each channel deposits on a different schedule and in a net amount after OTA commissions or card fees. LedgerMatch matches every OTA payout, direct booking deposit, and operating expense against your QuickBooks in under 10 minutes.
Local and industry considerations
- Iowa has an 8.4% top corporate income tax rate. Des Moines businesses need accurate monthly reconciliation to support quarterly estimated payments and the annual corporate return.
- OTA payouts from Booking.com, Expedia, and Airbnb arrive net of commissions on different weekly schedules, making it difficult to reconcile total room revenue against the bank statement without a structured approach.
