Financial accounting is a multifaceted task when we discuss it in a hotel context. Financial transactions are related to each reservation which is spread over days and links to different departments. An operational hotel generates a large volume of data linked to multiple activities. The management, tax authority, business auditors and investors need to know the financial status of a hotel in terms of income, expenditure, assets, liabilities and profits.

An integrated real-time multi-user accounting system provides processed feedback to management to evaluate performance and take necessary actions without delays. It helps to maintain good accounting processes to hand over responsibilities from one to another, one department to another.

Here are some key features of FusionPMS, the hotel management software, that make your life simpler:
