Scott's Story
Hi, I'm Scott, owner of Blanco Bluffs Bookkeeping.After a 25-year career in tech, I built a successful Airbnb management company, Taylor TX Vacation Homes.As a real estate investor and Airbnb host since 2019, I've used QuickBooks Online daily to manage my business finances. I discovered I had a knack for the numbers, and that I sincerely enjoyed the work.So, I became a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, developing solutions for the exact challenges STR hosts face. I understand channel-specifc payout systems (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, direct bookings), state and local hotel taxes, specialized hosting expenses, and more, along with all the investor stuff, like capturing property purchases, capitalizing improvements, depreciation, and escrow.I set your books up correctly from the start, allowing you to view your portfolio's performance as a whole, as well as drill down into the exact profitability of any individual property.When you hire Blanco Bluffs Bookkeeping, you are hiring me. Unlike many firms that offshore your financial data to junior clerks, I intentionally choose to do the work myself. This ensures a consistent, high-quality foundation for your business.My goal is to deliver a repeatable, rock-solid bookkeeping process that runs quietly in the background. I focus on two core phases:‣ System Setup & Cleanup: I'll establish an optimal QuickBooks Online environment for your portfolio, migrate existing data, and untangle any messy historical records.‣ Ongoing Maintenance: Month after month, I handle the regular categorization, bank reconciliations, complex custom entries (like those mortgage payment splits), and deliver regular, clear financial reports.Keeping your books tidy year-round doesn't just make tax prep a snap for your CPA—it gives you the reliable, up-to-date data you need to confidently evaluate your portfolio's performance and focus on what you do best -- hosting.
Scott did an excellent job helping me organize and straighten out a complex bookkeeping situation. He provided clear direction, steady guidance, and dependable support throughout the process. I appreciate the professionalism he brought to getting my financial records back in order.- Mike Kaspar, Real Estate Investor, Taylor, TX
