Xero's automated bank feeds pull your transactions straight from your bank, so reconciliation stays current instead of piling up. With automated reconciliation, hotels save around 6 hours a week, time that would otherwise go on manual data entry.
When an OTA (online travel agency) payout lands from a channel like Booking.com, Expedia, or Airbnb, you match it against the booking, net of commission, and tag that commission to a tracking category. That gives you a clear read on what each channel really costs.
If you're weighing up cloud hotel accounting software, running reconciliation like this is the difference between books you trust and a month-end scramble.
