Hello, our 182 resident HOA is considering moving to QuickBooks from an old, multiple file Excel Spreadsheet for our accounting needs.  We have run the 30 day QB Essentials Trial online and really like it's capabilities.  I've reviewed the comparisons of the QB Simple Start and Essentials and it appears that the Simple Start will do everything that we need to be done as a HOA.  Are there any other HOA's or accountants out there who can provide their thoughts or recommendations on the program version.  I greatly appreciate your assistance with this.

Hi,

Before I became an independent, freelance accountant I was the controller for a property management company the managed HOA's.  I did the accounting for 38 associations each month for many years.

 

I strongly recommend QB Essentials. Simple Start is limited in several areas.

I have found this HOA Tracking Database Software to be amuch better solution for managing our community.  It seems like is was written specifically for HOAs rather than accounting software modified to take in HOA data,

Bob, for some reason I cannot see the entirety of your recommendation. What is the name of the HOA Tracking Database Software you are recommending, please?
