Money Between Owners
Recorded once, split automatically, and settled in the fewest payments the maths allows.
Nobody should have to keep a shoebox of receipts to prove they paid for the propane.Someone always fronts the cost: the fuel, the plumber, the new mattress. Then it lives in their head, or in a spreadsheet only they maintain, until somebody finally asks.
Log what you paid. The split works itself out.
Shared expenses with automatic splits
Someone always fronts the cost: the fuel, the plumber, the new mattress. Record it once, choose how it divides, and everyone can see what they owe without a spreadsheet or a reminder text.
Enter an expense with the amount, category, date and who paid. Split it evenly across the group or by custom shares when ownership isn't equal. The split is calculated and stored per owner, so the ledger is a record rather than a formula someone has to re-derive. Categories cover the real ones: maintenance, utilities, taxes, insurance, supplies, repairs, cleaning, improvements, fees. Money is handled in exact amounts throughout; nothing is ever rounded into someone's disadvantage.
The photo of the receipt lives with the expense, not in your camera roll.
A receipt on any expense
The receipt matters twice: when someone asks what the plumber actually charged, and years later when an insurer or an accountant wants to see it. Attach it once and it's attached forever.
Attach a receipt image or document to any expense. It's stored privately, visible to the owners, and retrievable from the expense itself rather than from a thread. The same attachment discipline runs through work orders and the insurance binder, so the property's paper trail lives in one place instead of four inboxes.
Ask “what was this for?” where the answer will still be next year.
Discussion on any expense
Most expense questions are innocent, and most get asked in a group chat that scrolls away. Comment on the expense itself and the answer stays attached to the thing it explains.
Any owner can comment on any expense. The thread lives on the record permanently, so context survives the conversation. Expenses can also be disputed explicitly when something looks wrong: a flag on the record rather than an argument in a chat, and one that stays visible until it's resolved.
Who owes whom, reduced to one payment each.
Settle Up
After a season of somebody buying this and somebody else buying that, the group owes each other in a tangle. Settle Up untangles it into the fewest possible payments, usually one per person, and records them once they're made.
The product nets everything owed across all owners and proposes the minimum set of transfers to square the group. Instead of six people making eleven payments, most groups settle in three or four. Payments are confirmed by both sides, so the ledger reflects money that actually moved rather than money someone intended to send. The result is a clean slate that everyone can see is clean.
Why a group trusts this with money
Shared finances are where co-ownership goes wrong. Four things are true of every record in Casa Cabana, and they're the reason a group stops keeping a private spreadsheet as backup.
- Nothing is ever deleted. Records are voided with a trail rather than erased, so the history stays honest.
- Payments are confirmed by both sides, so the ledger shows money that moved, not money someone meant to send.
- Your property manager never sees a dollar figure, not a receipt, not a split, not a comment about cost.
- Exact amounts throughout. Nothing is rounded into someone's disadvantage.
