Day-to-Day Management, Taken Care Of
Organized financial administration helps boards monitor association obligations, communicate with owners and plan for ongoing community expenses.

- Creation of annual budgets
- Collecting assessments from owners
- Addressing owner inquiries regarding their accounts
- Following established procedures to address delinquent accounts
- Maintaining financial and association records

- Adjusting budgeting practices as community responsibilities evolve
When transitioning an existing association, we review its current budget, records and financial procedures before recommending changes.
As community responsibilities evolve, we help update budgets and administrative processes to reflect changing association needs.
Boards retain decision-making authority, while our team supports meetings, owner communication, records and implementation of board-approved actions.
Our team can assist boards with:
- Preparation for board and annual meetings

- Maintenance of association records
- Processing of owner requests
- Execution of administrative tasks resulting from board-approved decisions
- Coordination with association counsel or other professionals when additional input is needed
Our team serves as a consistent point of contact for owner inquiries and requests, escalating matters that require board, developer or professional review.
Community associations typically rely upon third-party vendors and service providers to perform various duties related to common areas, association property and other community needs.
Empire South Association Management can assist with the vendor process by:
- Requesting bids or proposals from potential providers
- Presenting and reviewing proposals with the board
- Working with vendors selected and approved by the association
- Performing much of the routine administration associated with those relationships
The board retains vendor approval authority. After approval, our team coordinates communications, scheduling and follow-up within the scope of the management agreement.
Developer-Controlled Communities and Turnover
Empire South Association Management works with developer-controlled communities at various stages of development.
During community establishment, we work with developers to organize assessment processes, owner communications, architectural requests, vendor relationships and other association operations.
As Lots are sold and association responsibilities change, we help adapt budgets, administrative processes and vendor coordination to the community’s evolving needs.
When the governing documents call for transition to owner control, we assist with the administrative preparation and coordination involved in developer-to-owner turnover.
