What is an Accounting Partner?

Learn what it means to become an accounting partner, the benefits, and how partner accounts differ from standard property manager accounts in VRTrust.

An Accounting Partner is an accounting firm or bookkeeper that supports multiple vacation rental and property management (VRM) clients using VRTrust.

Partners provide outsourced services for property managers, from initial setup and configuration to ongoing management of monthly trust accounting, reconciliations, and owner statement workflows.

Benefits of Becoming an Accounting Partner

  • Client referral pipeline — Partners are positioned as a resource for property managers evaluating accounting software, creating a natural source of new engagements.

  • Dedicated partner support — Partners receive direct support from our customer success team to train their staff and help troubleshoot any issues.

  • Early access & input — Partners often receive early access to new features and capabilities in VRTrust and provide feedback that helps us continually improve the platform.

  • Co-marketing opportunities — Partners are featured on our Accounting Partner Marketplace, and can be featured in VRTrust case studies, webinars, blogs, and email campaigns.

  • Training & enablement resources — Access to onboarding guides, client migration resources, and product education to support their team and clients through transitions.
