CPAs Focusing on Florida Condominium & Homeowners Associations
Audits, reviews, compilations, and tax services for community associations throughout Florida. Serving associations since 1986.
Our focus
Association reporting is the center of our practice
Michael J. Feldman founded the firm in 1986. As Florida's requirements for condominium and homeowners associations grew more demanding, the practice grew with them. Today our work centers on the annual financial reports and tax returns associations must produce, and on the questions boards and managers bring us between engagements.

Services
Compare the reports and services we provide
The level of assurance is the main difference between an audit, a review, and a compilation. Florida law sets a minimum level for each association, and your governing documents may require more.
- AuditAssurance: Reasonable assuranceYou receive: Audited financial statements with an independent auditor's reportOften used when: When Florida law, the governing documents, a lender, or the board calls for the highest level of assurance
- ReviewAssurance: Limited assuranceYou receive: Reviewed financial statements with an accountant's review reportOften used when: When a reviewed report is required, or owners choose one in place of an audit
- CompilationAssurance: No assuranceYou receive: Compiled financial statements with an accountant's compilation reportOften used when: When compiled statements are required, or owners choose them in place of a higher level
- Tax preparationAssurance: Not an attest serviceYou receive: A completed return for the board's signature and filingOften used when: Every fiscal year
- Financial consultingAssurance: Not an attest serviceYou receive: Advice and analysis scoped to the questionOften used when: Budget season, reserve and special-assessment planning, a change in management, or a question from owners

How an engagement works
From proposal to final report in five steps
- 01
Proposal
You share the association's type, size, fiscal year-end, and the report required. We confirm the scope and provide a proposal.
- 02
Engagement letter
The association signs a written engagement letter that sets out the service and each party's responsibilities.
- 03
Records request
We send a request list. Management or the treasurer gathers bank statements, ledgers, minutes, and reserve schedules.
- 04
Fieldwork
We perform the procedures the engagement requires and raise questions with management or the board.
- 05
Draft and final report
We share the draft, resolve open items, and issue the final report. The tax return follows the statements.
