Countaline
for HOAs
Countaline is simple software for the volunteer treasurer of a small self-managed HOA. Keep a dues roll for every home (your regular and special assessments), keep the reserve fund apart, and print a board report and an owner statement in one click. Your owners keep paying the way they do today.
This is a pre-order: Countaline is not finished yet. Founding members get the first version by February 15, 2027.

Full refund if we miss March 15, 2027, or if you change your mind before it ships. Paid once; nothing renews by itself.
3 homes owing · reminders ready
Roll checked
A demo for the HOA edition is coming in December. Until then, book a 15-minute call and we will walk you through it with numbers like yours.
Dues roll
Each home with its owner, its dues, what has been paid and what is owing. Print an account statement for any owner when a question comes up.
Replaces: the spreadsheet with 48 rows and colour-coding only you understand.
Operating and Reserve stay separate, so owners can see the reserve is really there.
Replaces: the single bank balance everyone argues about at the annual meeting.
Each month, a PDF with fund balances, income and expenses, and dues collected and owing. Add a short note.
Replaces: the evening spent building the report for the board.
Two-person count
When checks and cash come in, two people enter the deposit and both sign. The total locks; any later fix is a linked correction that shows in the history.
Replaces: the "who deposited what, and when?" question.
Handover
When a new treasurer takes over, you give them one handover file with every home's history, the funds and the past reports. Export everything to CSV at any time.
Replaces: the box of statements passed between neighbours.
In the first version, your records stay on your own computer. Countaline runs in your web browser and keeps your HOA's records there, not on our servers. We never see your owners' names, balances or amounts, unless you choose to share them with us for help or a setup call, and only for that.
Because the records live on one computer, Countaline reminds you each week to save a backup file. Keep it on a USB stick or in your own cloud folder; restoring takes a minute. The same file is your handover to the next treasurer.
Online access, where other board members use their own devices, comes in spring 2027 and is included for founding members.
$99 for the first year
$249 in total for the first year
Our promise: If we do not ship the first version of this edition by March 15, 2027, you get a full refund. If you change your mind before it ships, write to us and we will refund you in full. Your first year starts when you get the first version, not when you pay. Paid once: nothing renews by itself. Before your year ends we email you, and you choose whether to renew at your locked price.
After the first year, the normal price for new customers is about $29 to $39 a month. You pick your option on the Gumroad checkout page.
I'm Dr. Feras Hakkak. For more than twenty years I have designed business systems: how money, records and sign-offs move through an organisation. Volunteer treasurers do that same job, often with a spreadsheet and a folder of paper slips, and the next treasurer has to start again. I built Countaline to make that job simple and safe.
Every founding member can reach me directly. If you would like to see it with your own numbers first, book a 15-minute call.

In the first version, your records stay on your own computer and never reach our servers, so we never see your owners' names, balances or amounts. Corrections are added as linked entries, so there is a trail of who did what. Read the details on our Data and Privacy page.
Countaline reminds you each week to save a backup file. Keep it on a USB stick or in your own cloud folder. On any computer, open Countaline and restore the file; it takes a minute.
The board gets the monthly report as a PDF. When online access arrives in spring 2027, board members can also have their own logins.
You give the next treasurer the handover file. They open it in Countaline and see the full history, the funds and the past reports. Nothing is lost.
No, on purpose. Owners keep paying the way they do now (check, bank transfer, Zelle). You record each payment in the dues roll. If you want online payments and an owner portal, PayHOA or EasyHOA include them.
No. You can record a late fee as a charge to a home, but Countaline does not apply rules or give legal advice. Follow your governing documents and your state's law.
Yes. It runs in a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox) on Mac, Windows or Chromebook. In the first version, keep your books on one computer.
Yes. Pay with the organisation's card, or pay yourself and hand in the Gumroad receipt for repayment. If you need an invoice, write to us.
We will email you at least 30 days before. As a founding member, your price stays at $99 a year for as long as you stay. The normal price for new customers will be about $29 to $39 a month.
The first version of this edition arrives by February 15, 2027. Your first year starts when you get it, not when you pay. If we have not shipped it by March 15, 2027, or you change your mind before it ships, you get a full refund. Paid once; nothing renews by itself.
Your records are on your own computer, and you can export everything to CSV at any time. Nothing you have entered depends on us staying in business.
Not in the first version. You record money in and out yourself, or bring it in from a spreadsheet where the page says so. We will ask founding members what to build next, and bank import and budget vs actual are high on that list.
Countaline is made by The Vera Standard, the studio of Dr. Feras Hakkak, in Hyderabad, India. We answer email within one working day, and calls fit your morning or early afternoon (US time). Write to theverastandard@gmail.com.
