Pricing
From there, the price varies with two things: door count and complexity. Every association receives a custom proposal, and this page explains what shapes it, what every association receives, and how to get a number for your community.
per month, starting point
Varies with door count and complexity. Your proposal states the exact figure for your association.
Door count is simple to measure. Complexity describes how much work sits behind your community each month. Together they take the price from the $399.99 starting point to the figure in your proposal.
Door count is the number of units or homes in your community. It drives owner accounts, assessment billing, statements, and mailings. A 40-unit condominium and a 400-home HOA are different amounts of work, and the proposal reflects that.
We will ask: how many units you have, and whether assessments are billed monthly, quarterly, or annually.
A fully self-managed board that wants a complete back office is one scope. A board that keeps its management company and wants BackBoard for accounting only is another. Both are welcome. They simply cover different work.
We will ask: whether you are self-managed, working with a management company, or somewhere in between.
Accounting and financial reporting is the foundation. Board support, administration, sales and leasing, technology, and year-end coordination are added as your board needs them. Take all of it, or only the parts your association needs.
We will ask: which of the six service areas you want covered.
Vendor invoices, bank and reserve accounts, payment methods, and owner correspondence all add up. Higher volume means more transactions to record, reconcile, and report on each month.
We will ask: roughly how many vendor invoices you handle in a typical month.
Every association receives one hour of board/CAM consulting at no additional charge. Regular meeting attendance, budget preparation, and ongoing financial decision support beyond that hour are scoped into the proposal.
We will ask: how often you would like BackBoard at board meetings.
The condition of your current records and the timing of the transition affect the first months. Moving from a management company mid-year, or from volunteer-kept books, may call for cleanup and catch-up work before routine operations begin.
We will ask: where your records are today and when you would like to start.
Whatever the scope, some things do not change.
One hour of board/CAM consulting included.
Every association, at no additional charge.
Board meeting attendance on request.
Available to every association. Regular attendance is scoped into your proposal.
A proposal with no obligation.
A conversation and a clear scope. Your board decides whether to proceed.
Your management company stays.
You do not have to replace anyone to work with BackBoard.
Scope snapshot
Four quick questions. You will not see a price here, because BackBoard does not quote without understanding your community first, but you will see what your proposal would cover, and you can carry the snapshot straight into the consultation form.
How much does BackBoard cost?
Pricing starts as low as $399.99 per month and varies with door count and complexity. The workload behind a 40-unit condominium and a 400-home HOA is not the same, and neither is the workload of a self-managed board compared to one that keeps its management company, so each association receives a proposal rather than a tier that fits no one exactly.
What takes the price above the starting point?
Door count and complexity. More units mean more owner accounts, billing, and mailings. Complexity comes from how the association is run, the services you select, monthly activity, the level of board support, and the condition of your records when you start.
Can we start with accounting only and add services later?
Yes. Accounting and financial reporting is the foundation, and the other service areas can be added as your board needs them. Take all of it, or only the parts your association needs.
Do we have to leave our management company to get a proposal?
No. BackBoard can work as an independent accounting and administrative partner alongside your management company. Your board can keep community management where it is and move only the back office.
What happens after we request a proposal?
We review your association, schedule a consultation to understand the scope, and then present a proposal for your board to consider. The board decides whether to move forward, and there is no obligation at any point.
What if our needs change after we start?
Scope can be revisited with your board. If the association grows or the board wants to add services, the proposal is updated to match the work.
Tell us about your community and we will put together a proposal your board can review. No obligation, and no pressure to change management companies.
