One platform for bookings, §469 material participation tracking, and a direct booking site that pays straight into your bank account — at just 3%, vs. 15%+ on Airbnb. Built by the accounting firm that needed it to exist.
Powered by trusted infrastructure
Every Stratos property gets a premium, SEO-optimized booking page — powered by Stripe Connect. Funds go directly to your bank at just 3% vs. 15%+ on Airbnb.
Photo galleries, room-by-room layout, amenities, availability calendar, and local recommendations — all on your branded page.
Guests pay securely. Funds deposit directly to your bank account within 2 business days. No middleman holding your money.
Lodging tax is computed automatically via Avalara and shown to guests at checkout — fully compliant, zero manual work.
Google Places surfaces top-rated restaurants, attractions, and entertainment near your property — guests book with confidence.
Every booking, message, task, and calendar change auto-logs as timestamped participation evidence. Live 500-hour IRS test progress. One-click audit defense packet.
Address-to-jurisdiction detection via Avalara. Multi-layer tax — city, county, state. Automatic accrual at booking. Filing calendar with due date alerts.
Direct booking payments flow through Stripe Connect — funds land in your bank account, not ours. Stratos never holds your money, even for a moment.
Guests get instant booking confirmations with a personalized portal link. Two-way messaging with email notifications on both sides. Automated pre-arrival and post-stay messages.
Connect your lock ecosystem once — August, Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, Igloohome, and more. A unique code generates for every reservation and revokes itself automatically at checkout.
Turn beach chairs, coolers, and game consoles into revenue. Guests add them at checkout or anytime before their trip. You keep 80% of every sale, paid the same way as your booking revenue.
Sync Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com in real time. Share with cleaners and managers. Auto-detect turnovers and trigger cleaning task workflows.
Plaid-powered bank and card sync. Schedule E auto-categorization. Receipt upload. Full P&L per property. CPA-ready export at any time.
Invite managers, cleaners, and CPAs with role-based permissions. Your CPA gets read-only access to financials, tax packets, and participation logs — or connect with an STR-specialized firm through our free CPA Tax Pro Network.
Selling a property? Track your 45-day identification and 180-day exchange deadlines with a live countdown, and get matched with a vetted qualified intermediary.
Run the business like a professional operation — automated, hands-off, fully in your control. Compliance isn't a separate task bolted on top; it's the byproduct of doing everything else right.
This is a real owner's Financials tab — not a mockup.
Pair the platform with a dedicated regional property manager. Your portfolio runs itself — while every action is logged, tracked, and visible inside your dashboard.
Submit the form here — no Stratos account required. Our team reviews your property and matches you with a regional PM who knows your market.
Pricing is a percentage of gross booking revenue across all platforms — invoiced monthly. Transparent. No hidden fees.
Your PM operates inside Stratos — all activity is logged. Financials, participation records, and compliance remain completely yours.
