Accounting for Chicago HOAs

Clearer reporting for buildings and neighborhood associations.

From condominium buildings to planned neighborhoods in Chicago and nearby suburbs, board members need accurate owner balances, properly coded vendor bills and monthly reporting they can use. Our remote accounting service is designed for boards that want professional bookkeeping without purchasing full-service building management.

01

Shared-building expenses

Track board-approved utilities, common-area upkeep and building service invoices by the categories that matter to your association.

02

Assessments and receivables

Keep unit-owner ledgers, regular assessments and delinquencies organized for board review.

03

Reserve visibility

Distinguish operating spending from reserve contributions and make year-over-year comparisons easier.

A practical point for Chicago boards: A condo board may manage a mix of routine building invoices and occasional major repairs. Consistent account categories help keep those two types of spending clear.
A clear division of responsibilities

Your board runs the community. We run the accounting.

You should not need to pay for inspections, community rule enforcement and maintenance coordination to receive professional financial support.

Your board remains in charge

  • Community priorities and annual budget approval
  • Vendor selection and contract decisions
  • Inspections, maintenance and community rules
  • Final approvals and governance

HFP handles the financial work

  • Dues, owner ledgers and receivables
  • Vendor invoices and approved payments
  • Bank reconciliations and monthly reporting
  • Tax preparation and annual 1099s
