Money Leak Finder

Managers lose 10-20% of what they spend to leaks nobody catches: an unbilled cleaning, a utility overage, a damage-claim window closing in two days. Money Leak Finder cross-checks your reservations, your books, and your payouts every week and hands you the recoverable dollars, ranked, each with a one-tap fix.

How to use this template

  1. Hire the template in your Sidekicks dashboard
  2. Connect your PMS, QuickBooks, Stripe, and channel payouts
  3. Map your QuickBooks classes to properties once
  4. Go live, nothing is written to your books without you

What this does

  • Runs seven leak checks every cycle, from unbilled cleanings to duplicate vendor invoices to misclassified cleaning fees
  • Ties every finding to a property, an owner, and a reservation, with the dollar amount at stake
  • Floats time-bound items to the top, like a damage-claim window that closes 14 days after checkout
  • Gives each finding a real one-tap fix, a drafted QuickBooks bill, a pre-filled claim link, a reversing entry, never a vague to-do
  • Holds a false-positive line, marking needs review instead of a fix when it is under 80% sure

Saves

  • The $2,000 to $3,000 a property a year that operators recover once leaks are instrumented
  • The month-end reconciliation crawl across QuickBooks, Stripe, and payout files, run for you every Monday

Workflow

Trigger
Every Monday, and at month close
Runs weekly, and again on the 3rd once the prior month closes, or on demand for a single property.
Tool call
Pull the money trail
reservations + qbo.query() + stripe.charges + channel payouts · one 30-day picture across every system that touches a dollar.
Prompt
Run the seven checks
Unbilled cleaning, utility overage, cancelled-but-counted, invisible discounts, missed damage windows, duplicate invoices, misclassified fees. Six high-confidence findings beat ten with four wrong.
Draft
Draft the fix for each
A QuickBooks bill for the unbilled cleaning, a pre-filled Resolution Center link for the damage claim, a reversing entry for the duplicate. One click away, never generic.
Watch
Rank by dollars, urgent first
Ordered by amount, with time-bound items floated up. A weekly email leads with the total recoverable and what is closing soon.
Approval
You approve every write
Nothing touches your books on its own. You click Apply per finding, or batch-approve everything over a threshold. You are the final approver on every dollar.
