Pros
Handles all of the accounting
Communication with homeowners
Banking
Cons
Bank Reconciliations are challenging at times
Live banking can be improved
Likelihood to Recommend
For a homeowners association or other small service business I'd say that it exceeds the ease of use of other out of the box products (Quickbooks). For anything more involved than basic service companies, I think it is less appropriate.

We are a third-party professional property management company that has begun to offer association management for Home Owner Associations (HOAs). PayHOA purports to be a comprehensive HOA management platform for third-party managers and self-managed associations.
The most critical function of any such software is the accounting function: sending bills and invoices to owners in the association, providing various methods for owners to remit their payments, entering vendor bills and tracking their payment, reconciling bank accounts, creating a budget and comparing expenses against the budget, etc.
Other nice-to-have features we were looking for included violation management, architectural request management, association notices and owner-member communications, mailing services, etc.
PayHOA purports to offer all of these features in a robust way. About 90 days into our use of PayHOA, we've found PayHOA fails in some of the most mission-critical ways.
Pros
Auto-generating owner invoices
Budget feature
Cons
Poor documentation
Unreliable lockbox processing service
Owners unable to access their own invoices online
Limited accounting functionality
No real A/P: cannot enter vendor bills separately
Duplicate field names that don't replicate correctly across the software
All owner payment options have additional charges
Likelihood to Recommend
PayHOA may be well suited to small self-managed associations with only very basic needs.
If you're looking for a association management software with proper accounting features and functionality, PayHOA will disappoint you as it has disappointed us.
