I have been in the HOA and Condo management business since 2001. Over this time, I have used and previewed dozens of industry software in order to better serve our customers. Some software is targeted to larger management company needs; others are more difficult to use and some don’t have the latest features. Community Financials has the best software for managing your self-managed HOA or Condo.
If you are self-managed you typically use spreadsheets or QuickBooks. QuickBooks is meant for businesses and doesn’t have portals for owners to see their balance and make a payment or any tools to help with operational items.
If you are working with a management company and looking to save money and / or hassle, what system should you use? Most Boards want to save time and don’t want to handle the accounting and so we are a great fit and the software provides transparency. But Boards also want software tools to make operating the community easier. Most software on the market is built with a property management company customer in mind. The interface for a Board to use maintenance, violations, and ARC components are not user-friendly or intuitive.
If you have onsite staff or are splitting the accounting from a manager’s role for better checks and balances and a greater focus on physical and financial duties you want to have one integrated system for efficient operation and to help make the onsite staff more effective. They receive a login into our software for just this reason.
Here are 6 key benefits of our system that we feel makes it the best:
Homeowner portal – Homeowners can look up accounting information, make a payment, view association documents, message the Board or our accounting staff, and see maintenance, violations, or ARC items online or on a smartphone app.
Fewer logins – most systems have a separate login for a portal, a separate system to access software tools meant for the manager, separate login for online banking, etc. Our system has one login to handle all board business.
View delinquencies – Boards can keep tabs on the status of homeowner payments in real-time.
Communicate with homeowners – Email, text, or send voice broadcasts to owners or a subset of residents like all pet owners or those in a particular building or phase of the community.
Easy-to-use tools for operating your community – Maintenance, Task Management, Violations, and ARC requests are easy to create, track and manage.
