Trust accounting in Australia is among the most rigorous financial frameworks property managers operate within. For short-term rental operators managing growing portfolios, maintaining compliance while scaling operations has long been a complex and resource-intensive challenge.
Guesty’s new trust accounting solution was developed to address that challenge head-on.
Built in collaboration with one of Australia’s leading trust accounting auditing firms and backed by nearly 30 years of local trust accounting expertise, the solution combines deep regulatory knowledge with Guesty’s global product development capabilities to deliver the most advanced trust accounting infrastructure available to short-term rental property managers in the region.
Unlike traditional accounting systems that operate separately from operational platforms, Guesty’s trust accounting is built directly into its industry-leading property management software, allowing property managers to manage financial operations, owner reporting, and portfolio performance within a single system.
- Full compliance aligned with Queensland’s rigorous trust accounting regulatory standards
- Transparent financial visibility across properties, owners, and portfolios
- Automated workflows designed to reduce manual reconciliation and reporting complexity
- Integrated accounting infrastructure built directly into Guesty’s best-in-class PMS
- Local expert support from an Australian-based trust accounting team
Together, these capabilities allow property managers across Australia and New Zealand to manage financial operations with confidence while continuing to scale their businesses.
“This launch represents a major milestone for the short-term rental industry in Australia and New Zealand,” said Yoav Tourel, Managing Director, APAC at Guesty. “Trust accounting has traditionally been one of the most complex and stressful parts of operating a property management business in the region. By working alongside auditors and industry experts, we’ve built a solution that meets the highest regulatory standards while making financial operations significantly easier for operators.”
With the introduction of fully compliant trust accounting aligned to Australia’s most demanding regulatory framework, Guesty continues to expand the infrastructure supporting professional property managers as the short-term rental industry grows and matures globally.
