Homeowners Associations (also known as Common Interest Realty Associations) are formed when a developer or builder has incorporated common amenities like pools and playgrounds for the use of all homeowners within a housing group. Dues are collected from each homeowners and strict state guidelines govern how the money is spent, budgeted and accounted for at the end of each year.

Our association clients range in size from very small (a nine-unit condominium) to large properties of mixed-use development. For example, one of the communities we serve is a mixed-use development with single and multi-family residences, an office park, retail, commercial and light industrial centers, related common areas, roads and a golf course. This property consists of 1,680 acres of land. We have provided accounting services to this association since 2002. Another community consists of four condominium associations, a master property owners association and a rental management company. The combined total annual revenues for this community for the year 2008 were over $4,500,000. We have provided services to this association for more than ten years.
