# The best accounting software for eco-lodges.

Eco-lodges often report to community partners and donors as well as owners. Clear accounts by activity and project help with both. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.

**What is the best accounting software for eco-lodges?**
The best accounting software for eco-lodges covers ledgers, guest and company invoices, supplier bills, VAT, bank and mobile money reconciliation and departmental reports, and handles what is specific to eco-lodges: analytic accounts per project or partner; community share of revenue; cash-heavy reconciliations; simple monthly p&l. 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 eco-lodges need

Eco-lodges often report to community partners and donors as well as owners. Clear accounts by activity and project help with both.

- Analytic accounts per project or partner
- Community share of revenue
- Cash-heavy reconciliations
- Simple monthly P&L

## The full checklist

Beyond the specifics above, any accounting software for a eco-lodge 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 eco-lodge

At a typical eco-lodge the people who log in are the manager, front office, a cook who keeps stores, and a bookkeeper: 4 users, $52 a month or $499.20 a year, with every module included. See [pricing](https://www.tivuzo.com/pricing/).

## Accounting for eco-lodges: questions

### Can an eco-lodge report revenue shared with a community?

Yes. Track the community levy or share as its own account and report it by period.

### Is accounting included in Tivuzo's price?

Yes. Every module is included for $13 per user per month; there are no add-ons and no fees per room.

### Does Tivuzo work for small eco-lodges?

Yes. A eco-lodge pays only for the people who log in; switch on modules as you need them.

### Does Tivuzo work with weak internet?

The restaurant and bar tills sell offline and sync later; the rest needs a connection, and light use works on mobile data.

### What does Tivuzo not do yet?

No live channel manager, booking engine, door-lock integration, payroll or country e-invoicing links.
