CEO & Founder
“Cori is simply a MACHINE.”
Her ability to identify a problem and come up with the best solution to said problem at breakneck speed is amazing to watch. She knows the vacation rental industry better than many who have three times the longevity in it.
She’s an operational rock star with a very broad scope of capabilities. She is unconventional and that’s her superpower. If you get the opportunity to work with her jump at it!
I was able to see Cori in action on the job and was impressed with her passion and drive to learn and deliver whatever was needed. Often times people who have the level of understanding on a topic or a process are unable to learn and embrace change. NOT Cori, bring it on was the attitude she brings to the table each time.
Whenever I think of Cori Lee, only one word comes to mind — incredible.
Highly revered and well recommended, I’ve enjoyed working with Cori Lee for the past few months after she was strongly referred to me by another advisor/consultant. Since working with her, she’s more than exceeded every expectation and has risen to every challenge thrown at her. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, prompt, efficient, and embodies perseverance — she walks through walls and always finds a way to make it happen, never making any excuses. Her passion for improving the vacation rental industry is perforating.
Suppose you’re extended the opportunity to work with her in any capacity. In that case, I strongly recommend that you don’t walk but run at the chance.
Cori has the unique ability to see both the big picture and details. She is excited, and thrives, when looking at people and situations from a variety of perspectives. Her ability to negotiate and handle escalations in a manner that nearly always ends in a win-win is second to none I have seen.
Additionally, Cori is an exceptionally fast (and self-directed) learner, highly efficient, and can piece together complex situations and data from square one. Primarily this has been demonstrated through single-handedly implementing a number of new software platforms and modules for our various businesses.
We have worked with Cori for close to two years and formalized the consultant relationship about 8 months ago. She has been invaluable to all the members in our team in a very wide range of roles. From helping network in the industry to solving software, trust accounting and 1099 reporting issues, we feel Cori’s wealth of knowledge about the industry, best practices, top vendors have all made it one of our best and most efficient investments. She is always accessible and our need for technical support at LiveRez has diminished since we can usually get quicker and better answers from directly from Cori.
Cori Lee helped keep my 1 bedroom 1 bath condo rented during tough times, at a much higher rental rate than I could myself, for many years. Cori was always available, proactive, and ready to tackle any issue that came up (frozen pipes, a skipped tenant, lease renewals, etc.). I counted on Cori to keep my rental filled and she and the fine folks at Vacation Rental Authority/Action Property Management did so with very few unrented days, which was crucial to me. I would highly recommend Cori to anyone needing personalized service of any kind — she’s hard working and dedicated in everything she does.
Cori flat out gets stuff done! She is the hardest working person I know. Her focus while multi-tasking is amazing. She is a wealth of knowledge, especially in the Property Management field, but her understanding of all business processes and operations, no matter the industry, are quite impressive. I would recommend Cori no matter what business consulting needs you have because I have seen her in action, and it was quite extraordinary. She is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. If you want to do it right, look no further!”
Cori has been instrumental in setting up many of our processes and systems. She is always ready for the challenge that new software systems bring and has proven capable of designing a workable approach specific to each individual project. Cori is enthusiastic about her work and inspires those around her with her confidence toward solutions for some of our businesses most difficult challenges.
I don’t have enough positive words to use to describe Cori’s talents and professionalism. She is a wizard with spreadsheets, numbers, strategy, and know-how. However, it’s her communication with us and dedication to helping our small business that sets her far apart from anyone else we’ve ever used. She works fast, efficiently, and she has patience for days. We are beyond lucky to have Cori as a consultant. I challenge anyone to find a more qualified professional.
I’m telling you, Cori is the ONE! If you have a vacation rental problem, Cori is a miracle worker. Our company had ongoing back office problems, which drew out over weeks and months. Once Cori got on board, we were up and rocking in a matter of days. She is the ultimate in problem solving. I cannot recommend her more!
Cori has the energy, talent and wisdom to help any business owner or vacation rental owner develop a solid business plan. I highly recommend working with Cori on any business venture.
Cori is amazing in everything she does. She is innovative, approachable, and creative. She loves a challenge and I have seen her over come the impossible! I highly recommend Cori to anyone and everyone!

I promise you won’t regret it. She is an absolute expert when it comes to trust accounting for property management and she made what seemed like an intimidating process completely seamless. She helped organize my company’s financials and restructured our accounting processes on a tight deadline. Hiring her was hands-down one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business.
Cori is incredibly detailed, organized, and professional, which made everything go smoothly from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone to take your accounting to the next level or get your books in order, she’s the one!

I started working with Cori in 2021. She has been amazing and I don’t know how I was handling my property management books without her! She has knowledge in my specific industry and knows the reservations systems. She has advised me with what direction I need to stay on and has saved me money on top off that! I highly recommend Cori if you are looking for help with any bookkeeping needs
I have had the privilege of working with Cori Lee for several years. I can confidently say she is one of the best trust accountants in the vacation rental industry. Cori Lee has worked with many Lynnbrook clients and has built a strong reputation for her hard work and honesty. Her attention to detail and commitment to her clients ensure that her work is always thorough and reliable.
I highly recommend Cori Lee and Trust Synthesis if you are looking for trust accounting, need to get your books in order, or a fractional CFO. She will benefit any organization that partners with her.
Cori Lee puts the Trust in Trust Accounting 😉

Her commitment to delivering excellent service, combined with her attention to detail, makes her a trusted and reliable partner for any business, but specifically in short-term rental property management. I highly recommend Cori for anyone seeking a dedicated and trustworthy Trust Accounting expert and accounting service partner.
I had the pleasure of working alongside Cori at Vacation Rental Authority and I was always impressed with her organization and speedy solutions. She is an expert in her field and true professional. She was always an asset in brainstorming for process improvements and gaining confidence in our data. Thank you Cori for always taking your role on with keen insight to deliver valuable solutions.
I was introduced to Cori by someone I highly respect and trust in the industry and this recommendation is based on a story of my company’s personal journey to finally embrace Trust Accounting. When we started 15 years ago, there was no such thing as “Trust Accounting” in the vacation rental industry… and so we did the best we could using pure transparency and accountability with each of our owners. Flash forward through the next decade and some odd years of using CPA firms that literally had zero knowledge of the type of accounting that is required as a vacation rental property management company, and you have yourself a complicated mess in QB, a worthless P&L, and a balance sheet that reflects YEARS of mistakes. And Cori single-handedly repaired everything for me in less than a year. Whether any CPA and/or bookkeeping company wants to admit it or not, we as fiduciary agents to our owners and guests OWE IT TO THEM to go only to trusted, progressive thinking, INDUSTRY SPECIFIC professionals to help us carry the heavy lift of holding, distributing, managing other people’s money. So, simply put… Don’t go anywhere else. Cori is your person. No one else.
We are almost a year into working with Cori and her team at Trust Synthesis If I had to say what change to our business had the most significant positive impact over the 8 years we have been in business, I would have to say, hands down, that it is working with Cori and her team. Her approach is strategic and no-nonsense. She over-delivers time and time again. They are always reachable. Having her on board has allowed me and my team to focus on what we do best, knowing our finances are in the best hands possible. It’s a great feeling 🙂 I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Cori is an extremely valued member of our operation at The Cottages on the Key. She has all-around knowledge of vacation rentals and her trust accounting is the best (and ONLY one like it!) in the business. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our books! Her responsiveness, guidance, and dedication have revolutionized the way that we operate daily. The level of accountability and detail at which Cori operates makes her the best person for all things STR accounting! You will not find anyone else like her to take care of your books. I cannot say enough good things about her and her team!
Cori’s background and experience gives her unique insights into the intricacies of STR accounting, and she understands and is able to work with folks with where they are. Additionally she has a wealth of knowledge with various platforms to be able to support you where ever you may be.
Cori is extremely knowledgeable and an expert in her field! I needed someone that I could trust and knew what they were doing when it came to Short Term Rental accounting. She is the BEST and literally saved me and my “books” when I needed it most! If you are looking for a proficient, knowledgeable and professional team to take this task in for you- Cori and team are IT! I just wish I found her sooner:-)
Cori has completely turned our business around. Her expertise, passion and ability to think critically is essential to our success. Hiring Cori and her team at Trust Synthesis was arguably one of the best decisions we’ve made.
I recommend Cori for vacation rental management business, financial and management consulting. She is energetic, organized and extremely knowledgeable
Cori is fantastic. She just goes to the next level for us. Her passion, skill, and dedication are such an asset. We feel truly lucky to have found her and to be working with her.
I met Cori because we have several of the same clients who rely on her help and value her financial expertise. When she reached out inquiring about help for a website I was excited at the opportunity to get to know her better and build something fun. She was a great client and partner in the process. Cori came to the table prepared with ideas and goals for her website project, but also allowed us the fluidity to offer new ideas and interpret the things she was unsure of. Her ability to communicate and collaborate made the whole process an enjoyable one for the Defiance team, and I truly believe the end results were a win for everyone. Thank You, Cori!
Cori Lee is exactly as her title says: a Vacation Rental Savant. She has helped us in such a short time tremendously. From executive coaching to identifying overspend, to management training for our senior managers. She is definitely a fantastic addition to any vacation rental team.
