Porchlight Fiscal makes sense of your community’s monthly financial data — a board-ready report, a live dashboard, budgets and trend lines built on every month of history, action items that never slip, and honest warnings when something needs attention. In minutes, not an afternoon.
The 100+ page packet — the financial report plus the delinquency report — takes a single reader over three hours, cover to cover. Have the community manager and a five-member board each do their duty, and one month costs the community 18+ hours of reading — before a single minute goes to addressing the issues those numbers raise.
Around 50,000 a year — and a board’s duty isn’t just to read them. It’s to understand what each one means for the community, and to make the financial decisions they point to.
Often less — at many HOAs, the report is approved on the consent calendar, voted through without discussion. Not because boards don’t care, but because 100 pages is a lot. The duty to understand it doesn’t go away.
The reports are thorough — that’s exactly what makes them daunting for a volunteer board.
Every month, the board receives a dense financial packet to review before the board meeting. The expectation that a volunteer board read, understand, and act on it — unaided — is simply unrealistic. Turning it into something a board can understand and act on takes hours of retyping, cross-checking, and formatting, per community, every month. Porchlight Fiscal does that translation automatically, and then keeps watching.
Import the packet; get a polished financial report with a one-page board cover, plain-English talking points, and a clean PDF for the meeting packet.
Managers tell us the monthly financial prep drops from a half-day per community to the time it takes to read the highlights. Multiply by a portfolio.
Miscoded invoices, deposits over the FDIC limit, CDs sitting matured, reserve funds running low, unusual credits — surfaced by name, with the evidence one click away.
Clear oversight of your community’s money without an accounting degree — a one-minute monthly picture, honest warnings, and evidence behind every number. A simple monthly subscription per community.
Your managers present better, prep faster, and catch issues before board night — working from the packets you already produce. Partner with us and bring it to the communities you serve.
The financial report and delinquency filing, straight from the management company — no retyping, no spreadsheets, no reformatting.
The import shows you what moved and what needs a decision. Accept, and the month joins the community’s complete financial history.
A board cover that reads in one minute, drill-down evidence behind every number, and watch items phrased the way a manager would raise them.
Every number on the dashboard opens to show its own evidence — down to the individual invoice.
Somewhere out there is a community whose money you answer for. We keep the light on over it.
Onboarding a community takes one import. If yours should be next, let’s talk.
