# Multi-Company

> Connect multiple QuickBooks Online companies and route properties between them

## Overview

If you manage short-term rentals across multiple business entities, Host Ledger supports connecting multiple QuickBooks Online companies under a single organization.

## Connecting Multiple Companies

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations**
2. Click **Connect QuickBooks** for each additional company
3. Complete the OAuth flow for each company

Each connected company maintains its own set of synced accounts, classes, and vendors.

## Default Company vs. Explicit Routing

* **Default company**: The first QBO company you connect becomes the default. Payouts are posted here unless a specific routing is configured.
* **Explicit routing**: You can assign individual properties to specific QBO companies.

## Property Routing

To route a property's payouts to a specific QBO company:

1. Go to **Settings → Property Routing**
2. For each property, select the target QBO company
3. Payouts for that property will be posted to the selected company

<Note>Account mappings are set at the organization level. Make sure the mapped QBO accounts exist in whichever company a property is routed to.</Note>

## Best Practices

* Set up account mappings that use consistent account names across your QBO companies
* Test posting with one payout per company before bulk posting
* Use QBO classes within each company for per-property P\&L tracking
