Hotel expense management software

Money out, kept as carefully as money in.

Record bills and petty cash with the supplier and the bill attached, pay them in full or in parts, claim back purchase tax, and send it all to QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books.

Hotel expense tracking that reaches your books

Record each bill with its receipt, pay it in full or in parts, and send it to QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books.

Every bill in one list

Each expense has a category, a supplier, the bill number and its dates, with the photo or PDF attached. Scan a bill and the form fills in for you to check before saving.

Cash that still adds up

Pay a supplier in cash and it comes out of the cashier’s open shift, so the drawer and the shift report still balance. Bank and card payments need no shift.

Purchase tax worked out for you

Purchase taxes sit on the same Taxes setup as sales: claimed back, kept as a cost, reverse charged or withheld. The Input tax report shows what you can claim.

From the bill to your books.

Record it, pay it, and it reaches your accounting software. The tax and the cash drawer are handled on the way.

  1. Record the bill

    Choose the category and the supplier, enter the amount once and attach the bill. The purchase tax comes from your tax rules.

  2. Pay now or later

    Pay in full or in parts, by bank transfer, card or cash from your shift. The Expenses page keeps what is still to pay and what is overdue.

  3. Send it to your books

    QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books receives the supplier, the bill and each payment, on the accounts you mapped.

Who works here

Owner

Sees spending this month, what is still to pay and what is overdue, and the Expense report by category and month.

Cashier

Pays a supplier in cash from the open shift and attaches the receipt. The shift still closes balanced.

Accountant

Keeps the accounting categories under Settings › Money › Accounting, maps them to the books once, and checks the Input tax report.

An illustrative day

Paying for the generator diesel

The fuel supplier delivers diesel for the generator and leaves a bill. The receptionist scans it: the supplier, bill number, amount and GST fill in, and she checks them before saving. The owner pays it in cash from the open shift, and that evening the shift closes with the drawer still adding up. The bill and the payment are already in Zoho Books, on the account the accountant mapped to Utilities, and the GST sits on the month’s Input tax report.

A made-up day to show the flow, not a customer story.

Before you get started

Which accounting software does it work with?

QuickBooks Online and Zoho Books. Connect one in the App store, choose how records reach your books, and map accounts and taxes from named lists with suggestions. Bring your chart of accounts to the demo and we will go through the mapping with you.

Do we have to send every invoice to our books?

No. Each property chooses: every invoice, credit note and receipt, as guest houses and small hotels usually do, or one balanced journal per day after the night audit, as hotels usually do. Expenses go as bills in the first mode and inside the daily journal in the second.

What about bills in another currency?

Enter the bill in its own currency. It is recorded at your accounting rate, and when you pay at a different rate the difference is booked as an exchange gain or loss. The Exchange differences report lists each one.
