This bookkeeping firm has kept our HOA's books for thirty years. The last time I asked, perhaps a year ago, they did the bookkeeping for over 100 other associations in the greater Naples area. This gives Steve Hart, the principal, great insight into what various goods and services associations typically purchase cost. His prices are reasonable and his service is great. When I was first elected president of the Villa Mare HOA ten years ago, I greatly appreciated his knowledge of what had happened over the previous twenty years, plus the fact that he had the last eight years of accounting records on his laptop. My greatest concern recently was that there was no one in his firm with his deep knowledge of his clients. He too was concerned about this, and so has been training a potential replacement, Dolly Smith. She accompanied him to budget workshops for a couple of years and now has the knowledge to lead them. This is a great resource for any HOA, but especially for those who have relatively inactive boards or boards with high rates of turnover. read more
