Charlie Fritsch, Founder and CEO HIA Software (Hotel Investor Apps) was built for mornings like these, delivering unified, real-time insights across finance and operations—so situations like this become a thing of the past.
Now, leaders don’t have to wait for answers—they act on them.
In an industry where performance shifts daily and visibility is everything, HIA delivers what legacy hotel accounting platforms and generic ERP systems cannot: a unified, hospitality-native ERP solution. Built specifically for hotels, the platform combines the depth of enterprise accounting with real-time operational insight, helping owners, operators, and finance leaders make smarter decisions.
“We are the only hospitality-specific accounting platform with full ERP functionality. Before HIA, companies had to choose between hotel-specific tools that lacked power or generic ERPs that didn’t understand hotels. We’ve eliminated that compromise,” says Charlie Fritsch, founder and CEO.
Built for Hospitality, Engineered for Scale
HIA combines real-time property-level data from PMS and POS systems with advanced financial tools that rival any enterprise solution. Its daily report pulls room data, food and beverage sales, and performance metrics into live dashboards connected directly to accounting records.
This integration allows teams to make faster, smarter decisions at every level. General managers gain real-time visibility into KPIs and trends for RevPAR, occupancy, and ADR through personalized dashboards. Controllers benefit from advanced tools like consolidated P&Ls, intercompany allocations, and fixed asset tracking—all in one place. For finance leaders, direct integration with over 13,000 banks via Plaid and MX automates reconciliations, reducing time spent by more than half.

To further simplify financial operations, HIA includes an ML-powered universal search that helps users quickly locate transactions, vendor activity, or account entries—cutting down the time spent hunting through reports. Every transaction is traceable, thanks to a built-in audit trail that captures who made each change and when, giving finance teams the transparency and control they need for compliance and oversight.
Security and usability are central to HIA’s design. It supports granular user access controls, allowing admins to customize permissions down to the screen and feature level. This ensures everyone—from on-site managers to senior finance officers—has access to the tools and data they need.
HIA also supports purchase orders, project management, contract tracking, and advanced budgeting features that previously required multiple systems. By reducing complexity, the platform helps hotel portfolios lower overhead while increasing financial clarity across operations.
From Fragmentation to One Platform
The power of the company’s platform is best illustrated through one of its success stories. Peachtree Group, a hotel investment and management company overseeing more than 120 properties, previously struggled with fragmented systems—using one for hotel accounting, another for corporate books, and others for asset and project management.
After adopting HIA, the entire operation transitioned to single-platform financial management, unifying hotels, restaurants, real estate properties, a film investment division, corporate financials, and more. With automation and visibility at the transaction level between entities—and seamless bank integrations—Peachtree reduced manual work and improved oversight. Real-time reporting and detailed financial history importing enabled them to benchmark hotel performance before and after acquisitions. The increased efficiency allowed them to expand their services, proving HIA’s impact on both operations and strategy.
For hotel teams navigating the pressures of early-morning calls and constant performance shifts, HIA isn’t just software—it’s a system built for the way hospitality truly operates. Whether reconciling yesterday’s numbers or planning for the next quarter, HIA puts owners, operators, and finance leaders firmly in control.
