Best Airbnb Accounting Software for Automated Bookkeeping & Expense Tracking

For most hosts, a rental-focused bookkeeping tool (Stessa or Baselane) is the cheapest way to automate bank feeds and Schedule E reports, while QuickBooks or Xero suit hosts who run the rental as a business with an accountant. None of these were built only for short-term rentals, so the Airbnb payout data still needs importing and checking. This is not tax advice.
