Based out of the bustling city of Atlanta, BK Stays has been redefining luxury and family-friendly vacation rentals from Blue Ridge, Georgia down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. With six unique properties under management, Brandon and Katharina have always prioritized exceptional vacation experiences. However, the intricate details of property management accounting have hindered their growth as both owners and managers, until they partnered with Clearing.

The Challenge: Manual Overload in Multifaceted Accounting

BK Stays, while flourishing in guest satisfaction, faced significant challenges in managing the finances of their diverse properties. Each property, listed on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and their direct site, required individual profit and loss statements. Their existing setup with Stessa, though free, demanded an overwhelming amount of manual input, which was becoming unsustainable as the company grew.

Clearing's Solution: Automated and Detailed Financial Oversight

Recognizing the need for a more efficient system, BK Stays turned to Clearing for a solution.

With Clearing's platform, BK Stays could now automatically generate detailed Profit & Loss (P/L) statements for each property. The integration with booking platforms and Stripe meant that financial information could be seamlessly pulled and reconciled, reducing the need for multiple checking accounts and manual data entry.

The Outcome: Time Savings and Scalable Growth

Since partnering with Clearing, BK Stays has experienced a transformative change in their accounting practices. The time saved from manual accounting tasks has been redirected to focus on business growth and enhancing guest experiences. Furthermore, the detailed financial insights provided by Clearing have enabled more informed decision-making, allowing BK Stays to expand their portfolio with confidence.

Brandon, co-founder of BK Stays, reflects on the impact: "Clearing has been a game-changer for us. The automated and detailed financial reports have not only saved us time but have also given us the clarity we needed to scale our business. It's more than just an accounting solution; it's a pivotal tool for our growth."

Looking Ahead: Continuous Innovation in Short-Term Rental Property Management

As BK Stays continues to grow and diversify their property offerings, their partnership with Clearing stands as a testament to the power of innovative solutions in overcoming traditional business challenges. The future looks bright for BK Stays, with a solid foundation for financial management set by Clearing.

Brandon, shares his vision; “Since partnering with Clearing, we’ve been able to save countless hours of accounting labor. This allows us to focus on portfolio growth, while maintaining successful owner relations, and continually improving the guest experience. Clearing’s innovative approach to financial management has empowered Katharina and I to dream bigger and focus on what we do best - creating unforgettable vacation experiences. Our future growth will not be hindered by administrative burdens, but propelled by efficiency and clarity.”
