Our team connected with Topkey customer Dustin Reiman , CEO of Kalos Dwellings, at Streamline Summit 2026 in Orlando.

Throwback to our team offsite after VRMA. We spend a lot of the year working through screens, so it was good to get everyone together in Nashville. We had a blast. Here are some pictures from that week.

Stay on 30a grew from 5 homes to 128 in just two years. But behind that growth, Ashley Timber (Co-Founder) and her team were running into a problem… their financial operation wasn’t keeping up.

Month-end took eight days and involved five people.

Receipts were constantly being chased down. Costs that should have been billed back to owners were slipping through the cracks. And they were starting to ask whether continued growth meant hiring more accountants just to keep up.

Then they found Topkey.

Today, Stay on 30a closes the books in 1–2 days, saves 110 hours every month across the team, and has seen a 15% uptick in owner billables.

“We were on the verge of, do we need to get multiple accountants? Do we need to divide properties? Now we don't need to do that whatsoever, because the transaction portion of it is so automated.” - Ashley Timber, Co-Founder of Stay on 30a

The full story is a great look at what happens when a fast-growing STR operator builds its financial operation to scale with the portfolio.
