Bookkeeping on Autopilot
Airflow turns each processed booking into a categorised draft invoice in your accounting software—rent, fees, commissions and taxes broken out as line items—so your bookkeeping is started for you and ready for you to review and post.
How it works
Every booking you process in Airflow can become a categorised draft invoice in your connected accounting software. Rental income, platform commissions, cleaning fees, management fees and taxes are each recorded as separate line items with the correct account codes, dates and references. Airflow creates these invoices as drafts, never auto-posting them, so you review and approve before anything hits your books. With Xero, payouts in your bank feed can then be reconciled against the invoices Airflow created, helping you match income to the right booking. You set the mapping. Tell Airflow which accounts to use for rental income, fees and taxes, and it applies them consistently to future bookings.
