Pros

“CINC Systems streamlines our HOA management by centralizing accounting, communications, and homeowner information in one platform.”

Amanda I.

Lani R.

Controller

Pros

“The HOA Start team has been responsive, patient, professional, and willing to work closely with us as we developed our new Bishops Court website, organized community information and governing documents, established our member directory, and prepared for online payments and electronic forms.”

Keith W.

Vice President

“Bishops Court wanted to modernize the way our association operates while improving communication, transparency, and access to information for our homeowners\. HOA Start has provided us with the tools to accomplish those goals without requiring volunteer Board members to become software or website”

Keith W.

Vice President

“Because HOA Start offers so many features and customization options, the initial setup and learning process can take some time, particularly when transitioning years of HOA information and procedures into one system.”

Keith W.

Vice President

Cons

“Inability to enter credit memos in the vendor invoice side has caused accounting issues for our associations and their vendors.”

“There can be difficulty in the fields used for generating reports and bank account information/reports are a little finnicky.”

Michaela M.

Owner

“Lack of customization on some items, my accounting team has requested.”
