Property managers often face challenges when keeping accurate financial records for future bookings. When revenue payouts from Stripe are received, these transactions are recognized by default based on when the money hits the bank account. This default recognition can lead to confusion, particularly for those handling bookings made well in advance. For instance, a property manager receives payment today via Stripe for a reservation that's months away; this misalignment between payout and reservation date can puzzle both managers and homeowners who receive periodic homeowner statements. This issue highlights the need for a platform that allows property managers to easily adjust the recognized date of these transactions, allowing them to account for the revenue in the month of the actual booking.

Clearing offers an innovative solution to this challenge by empowering users to easily change the recognized date of their financial transactions. This feature ensures that revenue is accounted for in the specific month of the reservation, aligning financial records with booking dates. This accuracy in financial reporting can prevent disputes with owners and simplify bookkeeping for property managers. By providing automated bookkeeping and recognizing transaction capabilities, Clearing facilitates the smooth reconciliation of financial transactions, enabling property managers to efficiently close their books with confidence.

Clearing's platform now includes a user-friendly feature that allows property managers to adjust the recognized date associated with their accounting transactions. Whether a booking originates from Vrbo, Booking.com, their own booking website, or other Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) that make the property manager the merchant of record, users can opt to have the transaction recognized on the arrival date, departure date, reservation date, or a custom date of their choosing. This flexibility guarantees that the revenue is attributed to the correct month, improving financial transparency and ensuring accurate accounting for future bookings.

This comprehensive solution ensures precise financial record-keeping and minimizes the complexities associated with payment processing, being merchant of record, or transaction reconciliation.

Furthermore, by providing property managers with the ability to adjust the recognized date, Clearing ensures that homeowner statements accurately reflect the revenue associated with each booking. This not only enhances transparency but also minimizes confusion and potential disputes.
