The board packet, ready before the meeting starts
The short answer: Rebel Bookz produces the financial reports an HOA board reviews: a board packet for each closed month with the balance sheet, income, cash, reserves, delinquency and the check register, plus Budget vs Actual, aging, bank reconciliation and more than thirty other reports, all from the community’s own books.
From a closed month to the meeting, in three steps
- The month closes. Once the bank statement is signed off and the month is closed, its numbers stop moving.
- The packet binds itself. Every statement the meeting needs, gathered into one document for that month, which checks itself against its own pages and says so on the cover.
- Every other question, one report away. From vendor spending to who is behind, for this month, the quarter, the year to date or any dates you choose.
The reports answer questions. The board asks them.
- Whether spending is on plan, and what to do if it is not.
- When a balance that is behind needs action.
- What the community is told at the annual meeting.
Every figure comes from the community’s posted books, and the board can see whether each month is closed.
Six reports a board reaches for most
- Balance sheet and income statement. Where the community stands and how the period went, straight from the posted books.
- Budget vs Actual. The plan against what was spent, for any stretch of the year.
- Who is behind, and by how long. What is owed by each home, arranged by age, tied to the balance sheet.
- The reserve, honestly. The reserve the board designated against the cash actually held for it, and a plain note when the two do not match.
- Bank reconciliation. Each bank account against the books, with every unmatched item named.
- 1099s at tax time. Every vendor paid this year, who crossed $600, and who is still missing a W-9.
Questions boards ask
What financial reports should an HOA board review each month?
At minimum the balance sheet, income and spending against the budget, cash and reserve balances, and who is behind on dues. Rebel Bookz binds these into one board packet for each closed month.
What is an HOA board packet?
The set of statements a board reviews at its meeting, gathered for one month. In Rebel Bookz it is built from that month’s closed books and checks itself against its own pages.
Can we run reports for a quarter or a whole year?
Yes. Each report opens on this month, last month, the quarter or year to date, last year, or any dates you choose.
Where do the numbers come from?
From the community’s own posted ledger in Rebel Bookz, the same books the treasurer reconciles against the bank each month.
