What Hostfully Bookkeeper actually is
Hostfully Bookkeeper is not a standalone product but the accounting and financial reporting layer within Hostfully's property management platform. It includes automated owner statements, customizable Extended Data Reports with CSV and HTML export, and integrations with dedicated accounting tools like Clearing and QuickBooks Online. Available across all Hostfully PMS tiers starting at $129/month for up to 4 listings.
Core features
- Extended Data Report with flexible columns for owner fees, per-property exceptions, and tax holdings
- Automated CSV and HTML report exports by owner, property, or date range
- Native Clearing integration for trust accounting automation
- QuickBooks Online connector with automated data imports
- Zapier and API workflows for custom accounting system exports
- Owner statement generation across portfolio
Pros
- 120+ integrations included across all plans with dedicated accounting partners
- Highly flexible reporting lets you build custom columns for owner fees and tax calculations
- Responsive customer support with guided onboarding and training sessions
Cons
- No standalone accounting product — requires full Hostfully PMS subscription at $129/mo minimum
- Software can be sluggish, with certain features taking 5-10 seconds to load
- Limited customization flexibility and mobile app restrictions on template editing
Best for
- Property managers with 4-20 listings who want accounting workflows integrated into their PMS rather than bolted on separately
Not for
- Operators seeking standalone bookkeeping software without a full PMS, or hosts with fewer than 4 properties where the $129/mo minimum is hard to justify
