Coming soon: Accounting tools built for hoteliers

Hey Mews community! 

We’re getting ready to roll out a trio of accounting upgrades that bring live visibility, cleaner workflows, and true cross-team alignment to hotel finance. 

You’ll soon see: 

• Three live ledgers (Deposit, Guest, City) 

• Immutable daily trial balance 

• Configurable business day cut-off 

There’s no set launch date just yet, this post is here to help you understand what’s coming, how it works and why it matters. 

Let’s drill down into it 👀 

Live ledgers 

You’ll soon see three real-time ledgers in Mews PMS: Deposit, Guest and City.  

• Deposit ledger: Shows total deposits, which reservations they belong to and what will convert when the guest arrives. 

• Guest ledger: Shows a live view of in-stay charges, payments and balances so your finance and front-desk teams can see the same numbers without needing a night audit. 

• City ledger: Shows all post-checkout receivables, including unpaid balances for companies, groups or individual guests. 

Why they matter: 

• Fewer billing headaches: Front desk teams spend less time fixing bills for less back-and-forth with finance. 

• Cleaner reconciliation: Finance sees clear, structured flows that align with double-entry logic. 

• Stronger oversight: GMs and owners get one source of truth with exports auditors can trust. 

Audit-ready Trial balances 

Every day, you’ll be able to export a locked trial balance. This snapshot shows exactly what happened on that date, with revenue, payments and taxes clearly split.  

Why they matter: 

• Clean auditing: Once produced, that day’s file can’t be changed; any correction appears as a movement on a later day. 

• Faster month-end: Reconcile as you go with daily snapshots. 

• Confidence rises across teams: everyone knows the numbers they see are final for that day. 

Configurable business day 

Not every hotel runs on midnight-to-midnight hours. With a configurable business day, you can choose your cut-off, e.g. 3:00am to 3:00am.  

Why it matters: 

• Cleaner daily reporting: Late-night bar charges or POS revenue land on the right business day. 

• Fewer manual adjustments: No more ‘carry back’ edits to align to your property's reality. 

• Better cross-team alignment: Front office and finance reconcile from the same clock. 

Rollout is already underway and progressing country by country. Once all customers have access to every feature then we’ll publish a follow-up post with full guides.
