Bank Reconciliation for Hotels & Hospitality in Seattle, WA
A practical CSV-based bank-to-ledger workflow for hotels and hospitality businesses bookkeepers serving businesses in Seattle.
Bookkeeping context in Seattle
Seattle's Amazon-dominated economy and thriving startup scene mean Seattle bookkeepers often manage accounts for tech vendors, SaaS companies, and the massive service industry that supports them. Chase is the dominant commercial bank in Seattle, though Wells Fargo and Bank of America are also common. LedgerMatch handles all three CSV formats and reconciles Seattle business accounts in under 10 minutes — essential for keeping pace with the city's fast-moving business environment.
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
- Washington has no state income tax, but Seattle businesses pay the city's Business and Occupation (B&O) tax based on gross revenues — accurate bank reconciliation directly supports your gross revenue calculation.
- 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.
