Built by people who've sat through association audits.
Common Elements is a Florida company that lives inside the association workflow. We know which CPAs return calls in January, which ones miss the FL Bar 718.111 timelines, and which ones bill triple to learn the 1120-H election on a new client. We only put the good ones in the network.
Common questions
Is there any cost to me as a board member?
No. The matching service is free for boards. CPA firms in our network pay a per-lead fee only when a board they hear from is a real fit and they decide to follow up. You never see the line item; the firm absorbs it as a customer-acquisition cost.How many firms will contact me?
Up to three, in most cases. We route your brief only to CPAs who already serve associations in your county and at your association type. If fewer than three matching firms are in our network, you'll hear from however many exist — we don't pad the list with generalists who don't know HOA accounting.What's the difference between an audit, a review, and a compilation?
An audit is the most rigorous: the CPA gathers independent evidence and issues an opinion on whether the financials are fairly stated. A review is a limited assurance engagement — analytical procedures and inquiries, no opinion. A compilation is the lightest: the CPA assembles your numbers into financial-statement form without any assurance. Many Florida associations are statutorily required to commission one of these annually based on revenue tier; tell us which engagement you need and we'll route accordingly.Do these firms understand HOA-specific 1099 reporting?
Yes — that's a baseline we screen for. The 1099 rules for associations (especially around vendor payments, reserve disbursements, and the IRS 528 vs. 1120-H election) trip up generalist CPAs. Every firm in our accounting pool has at least three years of association engagements and is current on the 1099-NEC vs. 1099-MISC split.When should we engage a CPA relative to our fiscal year end?
For audits and reviews, give the firm at least 60 days of lead time after your fiscal year end. Tax prep (Form 1120 or 1120-H) needs the engagement letter signed before the April 15 deadline if you're on a calendar year — most firms stop accepting new HOA tax clients by mid-February. Tell us your fiscal year end month in the brief and the firms will calibrate their availability conversations to it.What does Common Elements actually do?
We're a Florida-built network for the community association industry. Beyond this matching service, we run the platform at commonelements.com — a forum, vendor directory, RFP marketplace, and statute reference used by boards, managers, vendors, and counsel statewide. This lead-gen service is funded by the CPA firms in the network, which is why it's free for boards.
