Viewing and downloading Accounting disbursements

Accounting by Guesty uses trust accounting to track the ownership of funds for multiple stakeholders as the funds move through our system. Stakeholders include property management companies (PMCs), owners, vendors, and tax authorities. 

With double-entry bookkeeping, each transaction recorded in an account requires a corresponding transaction in a different account:

Funds flow in as a guest payment for a reservation. Your business model setup automatically creates transactions to flow funds from the guest account into the different stakeholder accounts. Transactions can also be created manually or entered via API. 

Funds flow out based on a disbursement, or payout. Follow the steps below to view and download a disbursements report.
