HOA accounting services
Association accounting that boards can actually use.
Common Ledger gives HOAs, condominium associations, POAs, and property management companies a disciplined accounting back office: books closed on a rhythm, owner ledgers kept current, board packets prepared for decisions, and cleanup handled when the history is messy.
Core scope
What an HOA accounting partner should own.
Association accounting is not generic small-business bookkeeping. The work has owner ledgers, assessments, reserves, board approvals, governing document constraints, resale requests, and recurring reporting expectations.
- Monthly bookkeeping and bank reconciliation
- Assessment billing, owner ledger upkeep, and AR aging
- Accounts payable coordination and approval support
- Reserve fund accounting and special assessment support
- Annual budget support and board-ready reporting
- Year-end close support and CPA handoff preparation
Platforms
Built around the software boards already use.
PayHOA
Our primary niche for self-managed associations that need accounting and virtual administration inside the platform.
AppFolio
Support for larger associations and management companies that need stronger AP, reporting, and reconciliation help.
Buildium, QuickBooks, and cleanup
We can meet the board where the records are today and scope cleanup when the history does not tie out.
CPA distinction
We do the operating accounting, not the audit opinion.
Common Ledger is not a CPA firm, tax preparer, auditor, law firm, or reserve specialist. We work alongside those advisors by keeping books, owner ledgers, supporting files, and board reports organized enough for them to do their work.
Why this matters for searchers
Boards often search "HOA accounting CPA" when they really need monthly accounting operations. We make that distinction clear so the right prospects find the right help.
