# The best accounting software for boutique hotels.

Higher rates hide higher costs. The accounts must show margin per room and per department, not just revenue. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.

**What is the best accounting software for boutique hotels?**
The best accounting software for boutique hotels covers ledgers, guest and company invoices, supplier bills, VAT, bank and mobile money reconciliation and departmental reports, and handles what is specific to boutique hotels: departmental p&l; food and beverage cost from stores; cost per occupied room; vat and levies. It should share one database with the rest of the back office so nothing is typed twice. Tivuzo includes it with the PMS, POS, procurement, stores and accounting for $13 per user per month.

## What boutique hotels need

Higher rates hide higher costs. The accounts must show margin per room and per department, not just revenue.

- Departmental P&L
- Food and beverage cost from stores
- Cost per occupied room
- VAT and levies

## The full checklist

Beyond the specifics above, any accounting software for a boutique hotel should have:

| Must have | In Tivuzo |
|---|---|
| Revenue posted nightly from the PMS | ✓ |
| Company and agent invoices with terms and ageing (city ledger) | ✓ |
| Supplier bills matched to deliveries | ✓ |
| VAT per room type, meal plan and item | ✓ |
| Bank and mobile money statement import and matching | ✓ |
| Profit and loss by department with analytic accounts | ✓ |
| General ledger, trial balance and balance sheet | ✓ |
| Shares data with the rest of the back office | ✓ One database: PMS, POS, procurement, stores, accounting |

## Why it should be part of one system

When accounting is joined to the PMS, POS and stores, revenue, payments, purchases and stock movements post as they happen, so month-end is checking, not typing. Read [one system vs separate systems](https://www.tivuzo.com/compare/one-system-vs-separate-pms-and-accounting/).

## What it costs a boutique hotel

At a typical boutique hotel the people who log in are the GM, two front office, F&B and a bookkeeper: 5 users, $65 a month or $624 a year, with every module included. See [pricing](https://www.tivuzo.com/pricing/).
