Everything CPAs and accountants ask about HostClear.
No. HostClear organizes data and surfaces patterns. You make every professional judgment call. We never autonomously file anything with the IRS.
Your client uses FinlyFetch throughout the year. Their bank, PMS, and email feed data automatically. You see the aggregated result in your HostClear dashboard.
HostClear only works with FinlyFetch-connected clients currently. You can invite existing clients to try FinlyFetch — many will thank you for the introduction.
No. HostClear augments your existing workflow. Exports are pre-mapped QuickBooks CSVs. Lacerte, Drake, UltraTax, and TurboTax are also supported via standard exports.
HostClear prepares 1099-NECs via TaxBandits. You or your client approve each filing before submission. Nothing is filed autonomously.
When a host adds a contractor (cleaner, handyman, etc.), FinlyFetch auto-requests a W-9. The contractor completes it digitally. You see the status in your dashboard.
FinlyFetch tracks cumulative payments per vendor across all payment channels (Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, check). When a vendor approaches or crosses $600, both you and your client are notified.
Yes. Supabase Vault encryption for all sensitive data (TINs, bank credentials, API keys). SOC2-ready architecture. You only see data your client has explicitly granted you access to.
Your client grants you read-only access to their FinlyFetch data. They can revoke access at any time. You cannot modify their books — only view and export.
Hosts pay FinlyFetch subscription ($49–$199/mo). CPAs pay HostClear (Free for up to 5 clients, then $99–$299/mo). No double-billing.
Yes, on Enterprise ($299/mo). Your firm’s name and colors replace HostClear branding for your clients.
Per-property and per-state revenue tracking is standard. State income tax nexus flagging is on the roadmap for late 2026.
Free account, invite one client, see the dashboard with your own eyes. Upgrade if and when it earns its place.
