WHAT I DO I help short stay agents with two critical areas of their business: revenue management and finance. After seeing the shortfalls of dynamic pricing with larger portfolios - and the amount of revenue being lost as a result - I developed a new pricing method which considers all costs and optimises net revenue. Bookkeeping as a short stay agent means dealing with thousands of transactions every month, with a single mistake having the potential to destroy trust with your clients. Over the past 6 years, I’ve developed a short stay bookkeeping platform to deliver quick, efficient and near 100% accurate results. HOW I DO IT In Short Stay AI, our team of experienced revenue managers and data scientists work together with cutting edge AI to optimise your net revenue. We deliver a turnkey, hands-off service that includes detailed performance reporting with competitor benchmarking, revenue strategy, price setting and distribution management. In Short Stay Finance, our “outsourced finance department” includes bookkeepers, accountants and financial strategists to help sort your books, know your numbers and grow your business. We can help you plan your growth and forecast cashflow and profits, meeting regularly to oversee your financial performance and strategy. WHO I WORK WITH I solve problems for short stay businesses at scale. Although I’m often able to help agents with 10+ rentals, most of my time is spent with agents managing 50-200 rentals. I’m also able to help smaller portfolios which mostly consist of Lux rentals charging £500+ per night. MY BACKGROUND As a short stay consultant for over 7 years, I've worked with hundreds of short stay businesses across the UK. Seeing the same problems come up again and again has enabled me to develop solutions that otherwise wouldn’t be obvious, and to refine and improve them across a wide range of businesses. The podcast I produce with my business partner Ritchie - Short Stay Success - has been downloaded over 250,000 times, and we’ve seen many councils respond to queries on planning and business rates by linking to my articles! Prior to moving into short stay, I had various other entrepreneurial ventures over a 20 year period, including several tech startups. I also had a career in music production which included working with artists such as The Rolling Stones, Sugababes, Peter Frampton and Robert Fripp!
