Our HOA bookkeeping services keep your association's dues, reserve fund, and operating accounts accurate and board-ready every month — dues and assessment tracking, reserve/operating fund segregation, vendor payment tracking, and financial reports your board can present without translating them first. A dedicated bookkeeper handles the monthly work, reviewed by a US-licensed CPA, at flat monthly pricing instead of a fee structure that scales unpredictably with association size.
Homeowners associations and condo associations are a different kind of client than a typical small business. There's no owner drawing profit — there's a volunteer board accountable to members, dues instead of revenue, and reporting norms shaped by state HOA statutes rather than generic small-business practice. If you searched for hoa bookkeeping services because your board is doing the books in a spreadsheet, your management company's reporting is thin, or your reserve fund and operating fund have never actually been kept separate, this is built for that.
Beyond standard transaction categorization and reconciliation, association books carry reporting and compliance needs that generic small-business bookkeeping doesn't cover. Here's what's specific to this engagement.
Regular dues and special assessments are tracked as they're collected from each unit or lot, with a delinquency and aging report kept current so the board and property manager always know who's behind and by how much.
Many state HOA and condo statutes require reserve funds to be kept separate from day-to-day operating funds. We set up and maintain that separation from the start — distinct accounts, distinct reporting, no commingling.
Monthly or quarterly financial statements formatted for board review — income and expense statements, a balance sheet that clearly shows reserve versus operating balances, and a report the board can present as-is, not a raw transaction dump.
Landscaping, maintenance, insurance, utilities, and other community vendor payments tracked and reconciled, with clear records of what's been paid and what's outstanding.
Annual budget-versus-actual comparisons for board meetings, so the board can see where spending is tracking against the approved budget throughout the year, not just after the fact.
Operating and reserve accounts reconciled monthly against bank statements, so the numbers the board sees match what's actually in the association's accounts.
We start with a free consultation to understand your association's size, current software (or spreadsheet), and whether reserve and operating funds have historically been kept separate. From there, onboarding typically looks like this:

Pricing is based on the number of units or lots, transaction volume, and whether a reserve/operating fund cleanup is needed — never an open-ended hourly rate. Packages are billed at a flat monthly rate — get your quote depending on association size and complexity; cleanup projects to properly separate historical reserve and operating activity are quoted separately after a books review.
HOA bookkeeping sits on the same foundation as our standard bookkeeping — these related pages cover the base service and broader accounting support:

Dues and assessment tracking with delinquency reports, reserve fund and operating fund segregation, vendor payment tracking for maintenance and landscaping, bank reconciliation, and monthly or quarterly financial reports formatted for your board — including budget-vs-actual. Everything is delivered inside QuickBooks Online, not a spreadsheet the board has to interpret on its own.
Yes. Reserve fund and operating fund segregation is a compliance point required under many state HOA and condo association statutes, and it's one of the first things we set up when onboarding an association's books — separate accounts, separate reporting, no commingling of the two.
Yes. We deliver monthly or quarterly financial statements formatted for board review — income and expense statements, balance sheets showing reserve versus operating balances, and budget-vs-actual comparisons — so your board can walk into a meeting with numbers they can actually present, not a raw transaction export.
Yes. We track member dues and special assessments as they're collected, flag delinquent accounts, and keep an aging report current so the board and property manager know exactly who's behind and by how much.
HOA bookkeeping is a specific case of property-related bookkeeping, built around a member-run association rather than a landlord-tenant or rental-property structure. The compliance points are different — reserve fund segregation and board reporting instead of rent roll and owner statements — which is why we treat it as its own service.
