Opensource management software.

Hello,

I am a new director for a new 8 member HOA. We have very few assets (stormwater system and sewer pump). I am looking for software to manage HOA dues and bills. I have everything drafted up in Excel and can work with that, but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone knows of any opensource accounting software that works well.

Thanks!

When I was on the board, we were using pen and paper.

I moved to excel spreadsheets (with assistance from a CPA).

The problem with any software is the abilities of those who follow.

For example: At one time, a members serving on the architectural committee built a great Microsoft access database and user interface. When they left, a thumb drive with all the info was left for the committee. When I was on the committee (serving as the committee secretary) I organized the files. This is when I discovered the thumb drive and checked it out. I thought it was great but everything was 10 years out of date.

It appears that those who served after this individual, didn't have the knowledge to use the information.

Learning from this, the committee chose to stay with pen and paper.

I would also remind everyone of the posting rules associated with this site (click the smiley face with the caption Our Posting Rules). Specifically:
