Accounting Software

QuickBooksPro-2013

QBP-13 has multiple user options with administrator (treasurer) able to set any and all access abilities for each user ~ also tracks all changes / entries made by any user by user log-in ~ each user would set their own pin ~ treasurer (admin) has over-ride capability ~ my HOA is set up:

treasurer - full access

pres & vice pres ~ full access for entries current year only, no changes permitted

other directors ~ read only access

all pin protected and backed up onto flash drives

ps. QBP-13 has 'batch invoice' capability and member 'pick up' from Excel spreadsheet ~ we only need to have ONE data-base!

Depends on the size or your HOA. How many units?

When you're talking about accounting software, you're usually talking about a self managed association.

When your association is very large, and you need a Mgmt company to handle things, you just let them use whatever accounting software they want as long as you get good reports. They might have a custom solution built just for them that makes it easy to handle multiple associations.

At 520 homes, I might be tempted to just turn it over to a mgmt company. That is just too many units to handle on a volunteer basis but not enough units to justify the expense of hiring full time employees to handle the mgmt of the association. A Mgmt company can do it cheaper with better results and competencies.
