About
About Field Ledger
Field Ledger is a contemporaneous record-keeping tool for US-based short-term rental hosts. It exists for one reason: STR hosts pursuing the §469 tax loophole lose thousands in deductions every year because the IRS-required documentation gets reconstructed in January, not captured as the work happens.
The founder
Field Ledger is built by Petros Kapakos, a 20-year software engineering veteran. Petros has built business and financial systems for American Express, Amazon, and is currently a senior engineering manager at a major cloud platform.
The product exists because he saw STR hosts losing thousands in deductions every year to disorganized records — and didn't trust any existing tool to handle the documentation rigorously enough for his own properties. So he built his own.
The CSV export, the Schedule E mapping, the per-property tracking — all of it is engineered to the standard you'd want from someone whose day job is building production systems at scale.

The company
Field Ledger is operated by Kapakos LLC, a New York limited liability company headquartered in Brooklyn, NY. The product is available to US residents only.
Field Ledger is not affiliated with the IRS, Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or any tax-preparation software vendor. We are an independent records tool — we do not provide tax, legal, or financial advice.
Product principles
-
Contemporaneous, not reconstructed. Entries logged as the work happens are defensible. Logs rebuilt in January are not. Field Ledger is built around this principle.
-
Structured, not free-form prose. Material participation hours, trips, and expenses use guided forms that produce structured records. Your CPA can map them to Schedule E categories without a second pass.
-
US-only, by design. The §469 STR exception is a US tax-code provision. Field Ledger does not attempt to serve other jurisdictions. Regulatory clarity matters.
-
Records, not advice. Field Ledger captures what you did. It does not tell you whether you qualify for the STR loophole, whether to claim a deduction, or how to structure your tax position. That's your CPA's job.
-
Privacy-respecting analytics. The marketing site uses Plausible Analytics, which is cookieless and IP-anonymized. The app uses its own server-side event tracking. We do not share usage data with third parties.
