Administrative Services
Florida has the second-highest number of associations in the US with 49,420. Community association board members dedicate 98.5 million hours of their free time to volunteering every year. Unfortunately, repetitive administrative duties can take up a lot of their time.
These tasks can include:
- Responding to membership inquiries
- Preparing the annual budget
- Returning calls and emails
- Posting minutes and notices
- Sending out newsletters
- Monitoring local and national laws
- Selecting insurance providers and policies
- Organizing and attending membership meetings
- Obtaining bids from local contractors
- Communicating with authorities
- Maintaining files and records
These tasks can steal time from a volunteer's already busy schedule. If they rush through these tasks, however, mistakes can occur.
Choose an association management company that uses state-of-the-art technology to automate these tasks. Automation can reduce human error while saving you time and money.
Meanwhile, someone will always remain available to answer calls. They can respond to existing and potential members, which can reduce issues and frustration.
Financial Management
Are your association's members comfortable with friends and neighbors handling the community's finances? About 64% of members in the US aren't. Allow a neutral third party to handle this responsibility instead.
Their financial management services can cover:
- Property maintenance and compliance
- Accounting and reporting
- Dues collection
Many communities in the US have increased their dues, upsetting members. With help, you can improve the community's financial health. Your association manager will even use an online portal to ensure transparency.
Look for a company that will help you remain informed of new laws and regulations. Otherwise, you could receive a fine, leading to more financial issues. Your association manager's expert guidance can help empower your community.
