FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
In our years of experience serving community associations, we have found that every community is unique and has different goals and desired outcomes. Therefore, we take the time necessary to understand the board’s objectives and will develop a customized financial management strategy and solution for your community. We will thoroughly review your community’s current financial reports and procedures, as part of our “discovery” phase. This allows us to proactively bring fresh ideas for improvement to the board’s attention, so we can start adding value to your organization from inception. We are keenly dedicated to bringing stable, accurate, and consistent financial reporting your membership can trust and count on.
We believe awareness of your true financial position is vital to your operational success. How we bring awareness is through transparent technological solutions. We are committed to providing our clients with state-of-the-art technology and web-based solutions that provide accuracy, efficiency, and transparency to the accounting, financial management, and resale and disclosure functions of their communities.
Our technological solutions provide data in real-time, which allows our board members to have access to the information they need, when they need it. It is our belief that only well-informed board members can make well-informed board decisions. We want our clients to have access to the critical information necessary to make the best decisions they can for their communities. Our technology allows us to provide our clients with robust and customizable accounting reports. Yes, we will customize accounting reports for you! As personal service enthusiasts and experienced community solution providers, we want to exceed your expectations by offering flexible solutions that best serve you.
We believe in ongoing education and are proud members of Communities Association Institute (CAI). Through this organization, we are apprised of the latest trends and laws impacting the industry.
