Bookings come through OTAs and direct channels, with payouts landing net of fees and on a delay. Deposits and prepayments complicate revenue recognition, and seasonal staffing adds payroll complexity. Breakfast and ancillary sales blur VAT treatment if they’re not captured cleanly. Without a consistent routine, month-end becomes a chase, and cashflow becomes guesswork.
We fix this by mapping your channels, reconciling OTA statements and fees to bank deposits, and scheduling revenue recognition so deposits convert at the right time. Payroll is set to match seasonality, and VAT treatment is applied consistently across accommodation and ancillary sales. A recent B&B moved to a simple weekly reconciliation and a clear month-end pack; cashflow improved because timing differences were visible and controllable.
