Limited visibility
Residents may know what they paid in dues but still have to ask around to find out what a particular expense covered.
Transparency Product
A clearer view of community financial activity.
Transparency Product gives authorized community members a read-only view of available financial activity, according to access permissions. Approvals and payments continue through the tools your community uses.
The problem
Community money needs a record people can follow.
When someone asks why a vendor was paid, the answer may depend on records maintained in several places. Transparency Product provides a read-only view of available financial activity, according to community access permissions. It does not manage approvals or move funds.
Unclear approval trails
A new board member needs to understand why a spending request was approved, but the decision is hard to find.
Contested votes
When voting records are incomplete or hard to find, outcomes can be harder to verify.
