Overview
The accounting integration feature allows you to connect your accounting software with Little Hotelier, streamlining your property's accounting and bookkeeping, bank reconciliations and tax declarations. Export finalised invoice data to CSV format for easy import into your accounting system, eliminating manual data entry and reducing potential errors.
Note: This feature is not available for properties in Germany or Spain.
While the CSV export is designed for Xero and QuickBooks import functionality, you can use it with other accounting systems or for general data analysis.
