Accurate Financial Forecasting For Your Community

HOA financial planning requires accurate numbers. However, it’s not enough to rely only on your numbers from last year. Prices continue to increase, so you’ll need to have bigger estimates for utilities, insurance, and payroll. Our professionals take inflation and economic changes into consideration, so you can avoid approving an insufficient budget. We can also review vendor contracts and pay attention to your reserves.

• We help maintain your reserves
• You can use our professional assistance
• We help you operate expense tracking
• Budget transparency and timeline

Reserve Fund Planning & Annual Budgeting

If you have a healthy reserve fund, you probably have at least 70% to 130% on the side for unexpected repairs. To ensure your reserves are appropriate, it’s important to conduct a reserve study every three to five years. This is especially vital right now because of the rising cost of inflation.

We’ll put together an annual budget to take care of all your regular business expenses. Moreover, if your property needs any improvements, we’ll put part of the reserve fund toward improvements.

• Goal setting
• Maintaining transparency
• Leveraging experts
• Following all state laws

Transparent Reporting & Board Collaboration

Transparent reporting is key for building trust and confidence in your HOA. This includes operational openness and easy accessibility of records. A well-run HOA board won’t need to hide any paperwork or deflect questions. Instead, they’ll hold open meetings and exhibit proactive engagement. At the heart of board collaboration are fully effective communication skills. Furthermore, your board must meet all compliance deadlines and comply with the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).

• Digital portals
• Independent audits
• Open access to records
• Regular financial publishing
