Shercom – our resident ACT “Strata Guru” PeterC hasn’t jumped in as yet, so I can only suggest that you have a look at the Xero Accounting package that I’ve been using to self-manage our NSW Plan for the past 10 years.

At a cost of < $30/mth Xero provides automatic feeds from your Strata bank accounts, easy reconciliation that gradually becomes predictive, your own chart of accounts, the production of work orders, automatic generation of invoices for the collection of levy contributions, all the standard reports that you’d require (and more), and the distribution of everything in hardcopy form (for posting) and/or by e-mail.

I’m not an accountant and I learned to drive Xero within a few weeks with the assistance of their on-line support service that by the way is excellent.

Sorry, I don’t know on this one. While we do a lot the work ourselves at our OC, we also have a managing agent to actually keep the books in order.
