Ximplifi
Ximplifi is an accounting firm built around vacation rental and short-term rental management companies. It staffs accountants and CPAs who work in that industry and positions itself as an outsourced finance function rather than a general bookkeeping service, aimed at operators running short-term property management at scale.
The service list runs from full-service bookkeeping and financial management to trust accounting that keeps owner trust accounts properly funded, tax preparation and 1099 filing, customizable financial reporting, vendor bill pay and expense tracking, payroll for hospitality teams, and CFO advisory. A separate consulting line covers financial consulting projects for rental businesses.
Ximplifi also implements and tunes the accounting stack itself, working in Sage Intacct for larger hospitality organizations and QuickBooks for smaller and growing managers, and lists partnerships with vacation rental software and service providers. Published case studies describe cutting the wait for completed property-manager financials from weeks to days and fixing a manager's trust accounting process.
Engagements start with a free consultation booked from the site. The counters on the homepage (properties, property managers, years of combined experience) render as placeholder zeros, and no fee schedule is published, so scope and price have to be confirmed directly.
Best for
Vacation rental and short-term rental management companies that need trust accounting and outsourced books from accountants who work only in that niche. Less relevant to a single-property owner who just needs an annual return.
