Meet Accountable, Breezeway's newest integration partner! We connected with Accountable to learn more about reducing cost leakage and how you can optimize your operations with the Breezeway and Accountable integration.
Tell us the story behind Accountable!
We are vacation rental owners ourselves and originally started Accountable to help categorize our own spend correctly by property. We honed in on serving vacation rental management companies after meeting large managers at a VRMA conference and realizing the more properties under management, the more headaches around spending.
Receipts end up stuck in trucks, missing owner reimbursements add up, and reconciling spending and pushing owner statements turned into a pressure-filled sprint at the beginning of every month.
The existing market was built for generic businesses, not field teams dealing with a plumbing emergency at the register who are in a rush and don’t want to do a complicated accounting process.
We built a property-first system. Every dollar is instantly tied to a property, Breezeway task, and the right ledger account, so owner reimbursements happen on time and books close quickly.
As the short-term rental industry matures, financial visibility and efficiency are becoming more important. How do you see financial automation shaping the future of hospitality operations?
Compared to the Covid era, margins are tighter. The focus is now maximizing revenue and minimizing costs, unlike the pure focus on higher nightly reservation rates before.
Financial automation turns manual, month-end work into a real-time process. Card rules that mirror spending policy, instant expense capture from the field, and automatic syncing to PMS/accounting are the new baseline.
The best teams are closing books up to 90% faster, recouping every dollar spent on behalf of owners, and syncing charges to connected systems for visibility. Winners have live visibility from task to charge to owner bill, not a disjointed spreadsheet weeks later.
We’ve already seen this automation turn unprofitable maintenance teams, leaking costs, and accounting teams with time-consuming manual work, into efficient, profitable workflows and teams.
What makes the Breezeway + Accountable integration so valuable for property managers?
Unparalleled context. Breezeway knows the operations (tasks, reservations, units); Accountable knows the money (cards, bills, approvals).
Together, a maintenance tech can buy supplies, get an instant text, pick the Breezeway task/property, and the charge lands exactly where it belongs. No extra app to download just to submit a receipt, no guesswork.
Managers see spend against work orders in real time, and accounting leaders gets clean, matched data into connected systems instantly without chasing people at the end of the month.
Can you walk us through how Accountable's features work together as a complete financial ecosystem for property managers?
Accountable’s mission is to maximize the efficiency and ROI of all the money a vacation rental manager spends and deposits. No matter how you pay including via card, ACH, check, or e-pay, Accountable fits a one-stop expense and accounting workflow.
The biggest game-changer is eliminating cost leakage. When every dollar is matched to a property/task in real time with the expense capture, owner reimbursement becomes automatic, and month-end reconciliation becomes a breeze. Here's how Accountable breaks it down:
