About CINC Systems

CINC Systems is generally positioned around accounting and banking, aimed at management companies overseeing many associations, with a large catalog of integrations and APIs. It's typically evaluated by portfolio managers who want deep accounting controls and a wide integration ecosystem, rather than a single board managing one community.

As with any enterprise platform, actual integration availability, reporting depth and implementation timelines vary by contract — check CINC's current site for specifics before deciding.

Switching from CINC Systems to hoa.to

A software switch goes smoothly when a board plans the handoff. Before you commit to a start date, work through this checklist:

• Export a full data dump from your current system — units, owners, balances, and transaction history — before you cancel anything.
• Confirm how far back your dues and payment history exports; many boards want at least two to three years for audits and owner disputes.
• Get a complete owner and resident directory, including archived or inactive owners and prior owners of record.
• Check what's required to reconnect (or replace) your bank and payment processor — new account and routing setup can take longer than the software migration itself.
• Migrate governing documents, meeting minutes, and any signed forms or e-signatures, not just financial records.
• Review your state or provincial notice-period requirements before announcing a new system to owners; switching software doesn't reset those timelines.
• Reconcile opening balances between the old and new system to the penny before go-live, and keep read-only access to the old system through a transition period.
• Time the cutover around your billing cycle so dues aren't invoiced twice, or missed, during the switch.

When to stick with CINC Systems

Switching isn't automatically the right call. Here's an honest look at when staying put may serve your community better:

• You're a large management company already standardized on CINC's banking and AP ecosystem.
• Your portfolio depends on one of the 125+ integrations CINC lists that hoa.to's hub doesn't yet cover.
• Deep, bank-centric accounting controls across many associations matter more to your operation than a modern resident-facing experience.
• You have staff dedicated to managing a larger, more customized implementation.

Questions to ask before you switch

Whether you land on hoa.to, stay with CINC Systems, or look elsewhere, get clear answers to these first:

1. What's included in the base price, and what costs extra — payment processing, the mobile app, additional modules, support tiers? Ask for this in writing; check the vendor's site for current, publicly listed pricing where available.
2. How is our association's money held — is it commingled with other associations' funds, or kept in segregated or trust accounts?
3. If we ever leave, what happens to our data — financial history, documents, owner records — and can we get a full export, in what format?
4. What's the realistic implementation timeline, and who does the data entry and reconciliation, us or the vendor?
5. Is the resident mobile experience a native app or a mobile-optimized website, and does it cover the tasks residents use most — payments, requests, voting?
6. What's included in support — phone, email, live chat — and what response times should we expect in writing?
