Review & Compilation Services
Objective Analysis.
Enhanced Understanding.
Clear Presentation.

We don’t believe a review or compilation should simply check a box. Our specialization in serving all types of community associations shapes every aspect of our process. We understand the financial nuances of community living, invest the time to understand the uniqueness of your community and tailor our review or compilation procedures accordingly.

The Result?

An experience that is targeted, relevant, and provides meaningful insights.

When you partner with us for a review or compilation, you gain a trusted ally in presenting your financial information consistently with industry standards, whether we’re reporting to your board or management company.

For Boards: Providing Financial Clarity, Gaining Perspective.

As a board member, you are entrusted to manage the finances of your community. When performing review or compilation services, we view the board as an integral part of the process. Our focus is to provide you with a clear presentation of your association’s financial statements. While the review and compilation provide limited or no assurance on the financial statement, we believe our role is to offer clear and concise feedback and recommendations to you, highlighting any key trends or potential areas for improvement that may come to our attention during our engagement. This may involve:

  • Presenting your financial statements in a clear and concise format consistent with industry norms and relevant accounting standards.
  • Providing insights to you and on any matters of significance that may come to our attention.
  • Being accessible to support you in meaningful ways throughout the year.

Working with Strauss & Associates means receiving more than just a financial statement – you gain a clear picture of your association’s financial standing and the confidence that comes from having a partner well-versed with community associations dedicated to providing value beyond what is required.

For Management Companies: A Collaborative Approach

We recognize the vital role management companies play in the financial administration of community associations. Our review or compilation process is designed to be collaborative and supportive, minimizing disruption to your daily operations while maximizing the value of the financial statement that is provided to the board.

Our team is communicative, organized, and sensitive to the demands of managing multiple associations. We work closely with you to:

  • Streamline the information-gathering process to make it as efficient as possible.
  • Maintain open and proactive communication throughout the engagement.
  • Leverage our community association expertise to ensure a smooth and insightful process.

Because we specialize in this sector, we are familiar with the accounting systems you use and the reporting practices commonly used by community associations. We are here to work in partnership with you, providing the expertise needed to enhance financial transparency and understanding for the benefit of the entire community.
