HOA Start Announces Partnership with CityBooks to Deliver Integrated HOA Accounting & Bookkeeping Services

New partnership enhances HOA financial management with expert bookkeeping, accurate reporting, and seamless software integration

FISHERS, IN, UNITED STATES, April 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HOA Start, a leading provider of HOA management software, today announced a strategic partnership with CityBooks, a specialized accounting firm serving homeowners associations (HOAs). This collaboration introduces professional accounting and bookkeeping services directly within the HOA Start platform, giving HOA boards greater financial visibility, accuracy, and peace of mind.

Self-managed HOAs face increasing complexity in maintaining accurate financial records, managing payments, and ensuring transparency with homeowners. Many associations struggle with outdated systems, volunteer turnover, and inconsistent bookkeeping practices—leading to inefficiencies and potential financial risk.

Through this partnership, HOA Start customers now have access to expert HOA accounting services fully integrated with their existing management tools, including website management, communications, event coordination, and document storage.

Delivering Specialized HOA Financial Expertise

“HOA Start and CityBooks have each built strong reputations by focusing on what they do best,” said James Bradley, Co-founder of CityBooks. “By combining our expertise, we’re providing associations with a unified solution that supports long-term financial health and operational efficiency.”

The service offers reliable, timely bookkeeping tailored specifically for HOAs. Whether an association’s financials are fully up to date or require cleanup, CityBooks provides hands-on support to ensure accurate records and compliance—freeing board members, treasurers, and property managers to focus on their communities.

Key Benefits for HOA Boards and Communities
· Accurate, consistent financial reporting
· Reduced administrative burden for board members
· Confidence in your association’s financial health

Together, we now offer a true end-to-end HOA management platform.”

Proven Success Through Pilot Program

Prior to launch, HOA Start and CityBooks conducted a pilot program with existing customers. Early results demonstrate meaningful time savings, cost efficiency, and improved financial organization.

Our bookkeeper is engaged, personable, and truly invested in helping us stay organized and confident in our financials. The value is outstanding.”
