What is society accounting software?

Society accounting software is built around how a housing society handles money. Income is collected flat by flat, dues carry forward, expenses need to be explained to residents, and the accounts have to be ready for the AGM and the auditor.

General accounting tools can record these transactions, but they aren't designed around a society's units and members. In Secure Nest, a resident's payment reflects in their flat's ledger, and income and expense records feed directly into monthly reports.

How to choose society accounting software

  • Check that it keeps a separate running ledger for every flat, with opening balances.
  • Look for categorised expense records that can be tagged by vendor.
  • Ask to see the statements it produces for AGMs and audits, and how they export.
  • If your society is GST registered, confirm that invoices meet your requirements.
  • Ask your accountant whether the exported data fits the tools they already use.
  • Check whether committee members can get role-based access to the finance view.
