Every morning, produce the Daily Revenue Audit for yesterday's business:

• Rooms revenue by rate code, source, segment
• F&B revenue by outlet
• Other revenue (parking, spa, retail, resort fee, attrition, cancellation)
• Adjustments (comps, rebates, employee, manager-discretionary)
• Tax collected (lodging, occupancy, sales) — segregated for filings
• Settlements: cash, credit cards by brand, direct bill, comp, OTA virtual cards Reconcile to the night-audit close. Variance > $X dollars triggers an investigation. Distribute to GM, Front Office, Revenue.

By the 10th business day, produce the monthly USALI P&L:

• Operated departments: Rooms, F&B, Other Op'd → revenue, payroll, other expense, departmental profit
• Undistributed: Admin & General, Sales & Marketing, Information & Telecom Systems, Property Operation & Maintenance, Utilities → expense
• GOP, then non-operating (rent, property taxes, insurance), then EBITDA
• FF&E reserve
• Variance: Actual vs. Budget vs. STLY vs. Forecast (each line)
• One-page exec summary + supporting detail Submit to GM, then to ownership / asset manager.

Monthly reconciliation per OTA (Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda):

• Stays consumed in the period (from PMS)
• Gross revenue per OTA
• Commission charged (% by OTA — 15-22% typical)
• Adjustments (no-shows, cancellations, refunds, partner programs)
• Net remittance expected
• Actual remittance received Investigate any variance > 1%. Document chargebacks. Surface chronic OTA mis-posts to the GM and Sales for escalation.

Weekly AR aging by account: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 90+. Standard terms 30 days net for direct bill. Process for collection: 30-day reminder, 60-day phone call, 90-day GM escalation, 120-day write-off review. Track DSO (Days Sales Outstanding); target 35 days.

Weekly AP run with 3-way match (PO / receipt / invoice). Approve and pay vendors per terms (most net-30). Hold disputed invoices pending resolution. Monthly accruals for received-not-invoiced.

Bi-weekly or weekly payroll. Allocate hours to USALI departments correctly (Front Office hours under Rooms departmental, banquet hours under F&B departmental, accounting hours under A&G undistributed, etc.). Track overtime, salaried-vs-hourly mix, and labor cost per occupied room (LCPOR).

Monthly (sometimes quarterly) filing of:

• State sales tax on F&B and other taxable revenue
• Occupancy / lodging tax (TOT, county, city) — varies wildly by jurisdiction
• Tourism / improvement district fees File on time. Document audit trail. Track tax exemption certificates for groups (government, non-profit) so you don't accidentally collect on exempt business.

Annual budget by department (top-down RevPAR by month from Revenue + bottom-up cost from each director). 12-month rolling forecast updated monthly. Variance commentary every month — what changed vs. budget and why.

Weekly 13-week cash flow: opening cash, expected receipts (transient settlements, group billings, OTA remittances), expected disbursements (AP, payroll, debt service, taxes, owner distribution), closing cash, minimum balance breach risk. Flag any week below the minimum to the GM.
