Built for the businesses that get misunderstood

Occupancy taxes, cleaning turnovers, tipped payroll: this is the day-to-day CBA is built around, not an exception CBA is built to handle.

01 · STR OPERATORS

Short-term rentals

Occupancy tax filings, owner statements, and a chart of accounts that actually maps to how a rental portfolio makes money. Plus trust account reconciliation, since South Carolina requires guest funds to be held in a separate trust account, not commingled with operating cash.

02 · CLEANING & TURNOVER

Cleaning businesses

Contractor vs. employee classification, per-turn job costing, and payroll that keeps pace with a crew that scales up and down by the week.

03 · HOSPITALITY-ADJACENT

Local hospitality operators

For the home watch companies, property managers, and service businesses that live in the same seasonal rhythm as the Grand Strand.

What we do

Three ways to get out of the dark

Start wherever your books actually are today: mid-cleanup, fully current, or somewhere you'd rather not describe out loud.

BK

Monthly bookkeeping

Clean, reconciled books every month in QuickBooks Online, with statements that tell you something useful about the business, not just a trial balance.

CU

Cleanup & catch-up

Behind by a quarter or a few years: miscoded transactions, missing entries, and mixed personal and business spending get sorted and corrected.

PR

Payroll

Employee and contractor payroll run correctly and on time, including the classification calls that seasonal, tip-heavy crews tend to get wrong.

A peek behind the curtain

Run by an operator.
Built for operators.

100+ Properties managed

I managed a national portfolio of luxury short-term rentals before I ever built a chart of accounts for someone else. I've been the operator staring at a P&L that didn't make sense.

That's the reason CBA exists: to give STR, cleaning, and hospitality-adjacent business owners books they can actually read and trust, built by someone who's run the operation, not just recorded it.
