FOR CPAS AND TAX PROFESSIONALS
Material participation records your clients keep as they work.
PropHours gives you live, read-only access to the hour logs your STR and REPS clients keep in the app: dated when the work happened, timestamped when it was recorded, with receipts attached.
Free for accountants. No seat fees.
The accountant dashboard, shown with sample clients.
WHAT YOU GET
Less chasing. Records you can test.
Your clients log hours as they go. You see the same records, with the context you need to judge them.
Live, read-only records
See every client’s hours as they log them. You can view and export. You can never edit.
When it was logged
Each record shows when the work happened, when it was recorded, and whether it was changed afterward.
Every client in one place
Hours, evidence coverage and late records side by side, with flags for the clients who need attention.
Request missing receipts
Ask for a receipt, photo or document. Your client gets a notification and attaches it from their phone.
Ready at tax time
Download a CSV activity log and a ZIP of every receipt, organized by property.
Free for accountants
No seat fees for you. Sharing records is part of your client’s PropHours Pro plan.
EACH CLIENT
Every record, with its history.
Open a client to review the year the way you would in an exam file.
- Hours by property against the 100, 500 and 750-hour marks.
- Records filtered by missing evidence, late recording or edits.
- Hours by month and by category.
- Schedule E details and team members’ hours, when the client shares them.
WHAT YOU DOWNLOAD
A sample export.
This is the CSV activity log exactly as the dashboard exports it, for a sample client with two short-term rentals.

QUESTIONS
Common questions.
Does PropHours cost anything for accountants?
No. Accountant accounts are free, with no seat fees. Sharing records with an accountant is part of the client’s PropHours Pro plan.
Can I change a client’s records?
No. Access is read-only. You can view, filter, export and request evidence, but every record stays the client’s own, with its timestamps and edit history intact.
What can I see?
Only what each client chooses to share: all of their properties or selected ones, and optionally their Schedule E details and evidence files. Clients can change or stop sharing at any time.
Does PropHours decide whether my client qualifies?
No. PropHours keeps the records. Whether a client meets a material participation test or qualifies as a real estate professional is your judgment.
