# Hotel ERP and Accounting Software Number 1 Hospitality ERP Hotel Investor Apps (HIA) is a hospitality-specific cloud ERP and back-office accounting platform built on Acumatica, purpose-built for multi-property hotel management companies, ownership groups, and hospitality accounting firms. It unifies finance, operations, executive oversight, and owner reporting on one platform — with a USALI-based hotel chart of accounts, AI-powered invoice coding and accounts-payable automation, automated intercompany transactions, daily payroll and P&L reporting, multi-bank cash visibility, and 60+ pre-built integrations to the PMS, POS, payroll, and payment tools hotels already use. Operating since 2015 and recognized with multiple Acumatica Innovation and Excellence Awards (2024–2026), HIA is engineered specifically for hotel back-office finance rather than adapted from a generic ERP — recovering up to ~75 hours per hotel per month and letting operators add new properties in days, not months. - **The Platform (https://hiasoftware.com/platform.md):** Flagship overview of HIA's hospitality-purpose-built, Acumatica-powered cloud ERP unifying hotel finance, operations, executive, and owner reporting with AI automation and fast multi-property onboarding. - **Accounting & Finance (https://hiasoftware.com/accounting.md):** HIA's hotel accounting engine — daily reports, multi-bank cash visibility (Bank Connect), USALI chart of accounts, AI expense coding, and automated intercompany transactions built for hospitality, not generic ERP. - **Enterprise / Multi-Property (https://hiasoftware.com/enterprise.md):** Portfolio management for hospitality executives — financial consolidation across corporate and property entities, intercompany automation, multi-currency FX, and real-time role-based dashboards. - **Integrations (https://hiasoftware.com/integrations.md):** Catalog of 60+ pre-built connections to hospitality PMS (Opera, Fosse, HotelKey), POS (Toast, Micros), payroll (ADP, Paycom), and payment tools that sync data automatically into one platform. - **About HIA (https://hiasoftware.com/about-us.md):** Company story, Acumatica partnership, 2024–2026 awards, and a leadership team drawn from both hotel operations and software — establishing why HIA is hospitality-specific by design. - **Customer Stories (https://hiasoftware.com/customer-stories.md):** Named hotel operators and quantified outcomes — hours saved per hotel per month, faster bank reconciliations, and portfolio growth on an existing accounting team. --- ## Posts Selected articles on hotel accounting, daily reporting, USALI, AP automation, and multi-property finance best practices. - [Native vs Third-Party AI: Why Two AI Solutions Can Give You Very Different Answers](https://hiasoftware.com/native-vs-third-party-ai.md): Hotel finance teams are relying on two types of third-party AI — one from a vendor, one they built themselves — and both can fail... - [More AI, More Control: What Hotel GMs Should Expect From Automation](https://hiasoftware.com/hotel-gm-ai-expectations.md): The hospitality industry is undergoing massive changes in the age of AI.
