Owner statements that match the bank. Out by the 5th.
Send us the reports you already export. We reconcile the trust account, split every rent deposit and Airbnb payout, and send owner statements once you approve them. The same bookkeeper does it every month, and already knows AppFolio or Guesty and QuickBooks.
Covered, even though it doesn’t connect to QuickBooks. We work from the general ledger, owner ledger and payout reports you already export.
A month spent building owner-statement PDFs, by property managers’ own count. Propfina builds them from the reconciled numbers.
The trust difference you sign off on. Bank, trust ledger and every owner and tenant ledger agree each month, or you see why.
Every rent deposit and Airbnb payout, split to the penny
No more retyping the owner statement PDF into Excel, or guessing which reservations sit behind a bank line that just says AIRBNB. Propfina reads the reports you already export from AppFolio, Rentvine or Guesty, plus the bank statement, and matches every line to the bank and QuickBooks, including on AppFolio Basic. Only what doesn’t match comes to you.
- Each row matched on date, amount and property
- Management fees posted to income, not to owner draws
- Nothing retyped by hand from the PDF
- Batch total matches the bank deposit to the cent
- Each receipt posted to its owner and property
- Late fees kept apart from rent
- Payout total matches the bank deposit to the cent
- Host fee booked as an expense, so income matches the gross on your 1099-K
- Occupancy tax set aside for you to remit
- Checks matched on check number and amount
- Deposits in transit carried to October
- A $15 bank fee in the trust account flagged
Bank, trust ledger and every owner ledger. Same number.
That’s the three-way reconciliation state examiners ask for, done every month. When the numbers don’t match, you see the check, deposit or owner behind it, not a month-end mystery. An owner balance below zero means that property is spending other owners’ money, so it’s flagged before statements go out.
- Statement balance $181,577.40, plus $3,215.00 in transit, less $580.00 in checks
- Security deposits held: $41,300.00, matched to tenant ledgers
- Every owner ledger summed, including Hollis at −$1,790
- Check #4471 · Ridge Plumbing · $430.00 · uncashed 8 days
- Check #4479 · Maple St lawn care · $150.00 · uncashed 2 days
- Deposit in transit · 6 rent receipts · $3,215.00 · cleared Oct 1
- Bank fee · $15.00 · moved to operating, trust reimbursed
Any check outstanding over 90 days gets a call to the payee before it turns into unclaimed property.
Hollis paid a $9,800 roof bill before rent came in. Their draw is held and they’re asked to fund the reserve.
Statements that match the bank, with the invoice attached
Your bookkeeper is the same person every month and already knows AppFolio, Rentvine or Guesty and QuickBooks. You’re not training a $5-an-hour hire who has never opened AppFolio. Every statement comes from the reconciled numbers, with invoices attached to expense lines. You approve the batch, then they go out.
- Rent, Units A–D · $6,400.00
- Ridge Plumbing · Unit C water heater · −$812.00
- Management fee, 8% · −$512.00
- Owner draw by ACH · $5,076.00
- Pulled the September exports from AppFolio and the bank
- Cleared 3 unmatched deposits and 1 short Airbnb payout
- Signed off the trust reconciliation at $0.00
- Sent you 2 statements that need your call

Bookkeeper with several property-management clients? The Software plan runs each client’s month-end from their exports.
Retyped PDFs, short payouts and owners who check to the penny
“I can only seem to save a PDF version of the statement and then I manually retype it into excel for the import.”
“It’s a manual process with spreadsheets to transfer. Very time consuming.”
“Bank accounts, PM systems, and QuickBooks all tie out.”
“Reconcile Airbnb, VRBO, … Guesty, and bank payouts. Identify missing, delayed, or unreleased payments.”
“The bank statement is my source of truth. The PM statement is a claim about what happened. I reconcile the deposit to the penny.”
“A late owner statement doesn’t just annoy an owner. It makes them wonder what else is late.”
A $7 an hour hire for Rentvine and QuickBooks is a solid deal, "if they already know the workflow."
“Experience transferring or syncing data between AppFolio and QuickBooks (no API option; we have Appfolio Basic).”

Questions property managers ask
Straight answers on price, AppFolio Basic and what Propfina touches in your books.
What is Propfina?
Propfina gets your owner statements out by the 5th and keeps your trust account reconciled, working from the reports you already export from AppFolio, Rentvine or Guesty. It also splits Airbnb and Vrbo payouts and keeps your company books in QuickBooks Online in agreement. On Managed, the same bookkeeper does it every month and already knows your software and QuickBooks. It covers finance only and does not coordinate maintenance.
Will Propfina change anything in AppFolio, Rentvine, Guesty or QuickBooks?
Propfina never writes to AppFolio, Rentvine or Guesty; it only reads the reports you export. In QuickBooks it starts read-only. When you turn on posting, it adds journal entries for payouts and fees only after a person approves them, never deletes a transaction, logs every entry with the export row it came from and lets you undo any entry for 90 days.
Does this work if AppFolio doesn’t connect to QuickBooks?
Yes. AppFolio Basic doesn’t connect to QuickBooks, and it has no API, so no software can pull from it automatically. That is why trust reconciliation, owner statements and the move into QuickBooks are usually done by hand on that plan. Propfina works from the standard reports you can already export from AppFolio, Rentvine or Guesty, such as the general ledger, owner ledgers and payout reports, plus your bank statement. On Managed, your bookkeeper pulls the exports for you each month.
AppFolio is already our books. Why QuickBooks?
Your owners’ money can stay where it is. The trust account, owner ledgers and owner statements are reconciled against AppFolio or Rentvine, and Propfina never changes them there. QuickBooks holds your management company’s own books: management fees, your expenses and your taxes. Propfina keeps the two in agreement so your CPA isn’t working from a different number. If you run short-term rentals on Guesty, QuickBooks is usually where the books live, and Propfina splits each payout into it.
How much does Propfina cost?
The Software plan is $149 a month for up to 100 doors or 20 short-term listings, and you or your bookkeeper clear the review list yourselves. Managed is $5 per door a month with a $400 minimum, or $40 per short-term listing a month with a $300 minimum, and adds the same bookkeeper every month, who signs off the trust reconciliation by the 5th and sends owner statements after you approve them. Portfolio is custom-priced for more doors, several trust accounts or past months to clean up. Every plan is month-to-month with no setup fee.
Is Propfina cheaper than hiring an offshore bookkeeper?
Usually, yes. Job posts for this work pay $4 to $7 an hour, which is about $690 to $1,210 a month full time, or about $433 a month at 20 hours a week and $5 an hour. The posts ask for someone who already knows AppFolio, Rentvine or Guesty plus QuickBooks, and one operator said a $7 an hour hire is only a good deal if they already know the workflow. Propfina Managed is $5 per door a month ($400 minimum) with the software and a trained bookkeeper included, so you are not training or checking a new hire.
How is Propfina different from an STR accountant?
Job posts for a short-term-rental accountant list about $600 a month. Propfina Managed is $40 per listing a month ($300 minimum) and matches every Airbnb, Vrbo and direct-booking payout from your Guesty export to the bank deposit, splitting each one into rent, cleaning fees, host fees and taxes. Payouts that are missing, delayed or short are flagged during the month, not found at month-end. Host fees are booked as an expense, so your income matches the gross amount on your 1099-K, and you keep your CPA for taxes.
What does the trust reconciliation include?
Propfina runs a three-way reconciliation of the trust account every month, the one state examiners ask for. It checks that the adjusted bank balance, the trust ledger balance in your property-management software and the sum of every owner and tenant ledger agree to the cent, and it lists outstanding checks, deposits in transit, negative owner balances and any difference for a person to clear. On Managed, your bookkeeper signs off the reconciliation by the 5th of the month and you get the signed report as a PDF to keep for an audit.
How long do owner statements take with Propfina?
Property managers report spending 3 to 4 hours a month just producing owner-statement PDFs. Propfina drafts every owner statement from the same exports it uses for the reconciliation, so the numbers on the statement match the trust ledger and the bank, with invoices attached to expense lines. You review the flagged ones and approve the batch, and then the statements go out by email with the PDF attached.
What about occupancy tax on short-term rentals?
Propfina splits the occupancy tax out of every payout and holds it for remittance, so you can see what is owed for each listing, including in places where Airbnb doesn’t collect it for you. Filing and paying the return stays with you or your CPA.
Our trust account hasn’t reconciled in months. Can you clean it up?
Yes. Cleanup of past months is part of the Portfolio plan. Your bookkeeper starts with the oldest month that doesn’t reconcile and works forward, then you move to monthly statements by the 5th.
