Features

Everything You Need for HOA Budget Planning

Built for Philippine HOA treasurers managing board-approved operating budgets.

Annual Budget Planning

One budget per fiscal year per HOA. Give it a name, enter amounts per revenue and expense account, and you're ready to go.

Auto-Load from CoA

Creating a budget auto-loads all active Revenue and Expense accounts from your Chart of Accounts as zero-amount line items — no manual setup.

Smart Monthly Distribution

Enter an annual target — the system splits it evenly across 12 months. Customize per-month for December bonuses, seasonal utilities, or 13th-month pay.

Budget vs Actual Report

Compare planned amounts against posted journal entries. Monthly + YTD variance with ₱ and % columns. No manual data entry ever needed.

Over-Budget Alerts

Red variance highlights for over-budget expenses or under-budget revenue. Catch issues early before the board meeting.

Board Approval Workflow

Status flow: Draft → Approved → Closed. Approved budgets lock to read-only for a stable baseline. Closed budgets archive cleanly at year-end.

Copy to Next Year

One click duplicates this year's budget into next fiscal year as a starting draft. No re-typing 30+ account amounts from scratch.

CSV Export

Export variance reports to CSV for board meetings, external auditors, or offline analysis in Excel or Google Sheets.

Built-in Setup Guide

Interactive 5-step checklist walks you through Chart of Accounts, creating your first budget, entering amounts, approval, and variance tracking.

Annual-First Entry, Custom When Needed

Most accounts spend evenly across the year — association dues, security, utilities. Type the annual target and the system auto-splits it across 12 months. For accounts with uneven spending, click "Customize Monthly" to adjust.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HOA budgeting with HOAS.

How does HOA budgeting work in HOAS?

Create a budget for a fiscal year. HOAS auto-loads all your active Revenue and Expense accounts from Chart of Accounts as budget lines. Enter the annual target for each account — the system automatically distributes it evenly across 12 months. For accounts with uneven spending (like December bonuses), you can customize per-month amounts.

How do I track budget vs actual?

The Budget vs Actual report pulls actual amounts from posted journal entries automatically — no manual data entry. Pick a budget and an "as of" month to see period and YTD variance per account. Red variance indicates over-budget expenses or under-budget revenue; green means under-budget expenses or over-budget revenue.

Can I have multiple budgets?

You can have one budget per fiscal year per HOA. When you're ready for next year's planning, use "Copy to Next Year" to duplicate the current budget as a starting point, then adjust as needed.

What happens when the board approves a budget?

Click "Approve Budget" to lock the budget. Approved budgets become read-only but remain fully visible in reports. This prevents accidental edits and creates a stable baseline for variance tracking. At year-end, you can mark the budget as "Closed".

Do I need Chart of Accounts set up first?

Yes. Budgeting pulls Revenue and Expense accounts from your Chart of Accounts. HOAS comes with a default Philippine HOA chart of accounts pre-loaded. You can customize accounts before creating a budget to match your HOA's specific structure.

Is budgeting free with HOAS?

Yes. Budgeting is included with every HOAS plan — from the 14-day free trial through all paid tiers. No additional charges for annual budget planning, monthly distribution, variance tracking, CSV export, or any other budgeting feature.
