Why Walkup
Most self-managed associations run on one volunteer's spreadsheet, a stack of Zelle notifications and a shared folder. It works until it doesn't.
Who paid, who's behind, and how much? The answer lives in one person's head and their bank app.
Does the association qualify for the 1120-H? Which contractors need a 1099? When is it all due?
When the treasurer sells their unit, the history leaves with them — passwords, files and all.
Everything in one place
Every plan includes every feature and unlimited board seats.
Connect the association's bank once. Every transaction arrives with a recommended category and the reason for it.
Set each unit's yearly amount and schedule. Walkup tells you what's due, matches deposits to units, and drafts the reminder.
One sentence says whether you're on plan. See where the money went, biggest category first.
A profit and loss for any month, quarter or year — or several side by side — straight from your posted books.
Walkup checks whether you qualify for Form 1120-H, fills the official IRS form from your records, and lists every deadline.
Anyone in the building can report a problem. Upkeep that comes due every year is on a schedule, not in someone's head.
How it works
Your account, two-step sign-in, and the association's name. Walkup sets up the fiscal year, funds and chart of accounts for you.
Each unit, its owner and the rest of the board. Invite them with a link.
Read-only, through Plaid. Recent history comes in with a recommended category on every transaction.
Set the budget and each unit's dues. From then on, Walkup tells you what needs you each month.
Built to be trusted with money
Read-only bank access. Owners pay the association directly; you pay bills from your own bank.
Reminders and accountant emails open as drafts in your own email. You press send.
Every account uses an authenticator app. Each association's data is walled off and every change is logged.
Tax figures are traced to their transactions. Rules and deadlines show their source and whether a person has checked them.
Walkup prepares; the board decides. We recommend an accountant review anything before it's filed.
Export the ledger, documents and owner list any time. No contract.

Questions
No. Walkup reads your bank through Plaid with read-only access. Owners pay the association the way they do today, and you pay bills from your own bank. Walkup records it and reminds you.
No. Walkup prepares the figures and fills the official IRS forms from your books, with every number traced back to its transactions. The board — ideally with an accountant — reviews and files. Walkup isn't a tax adviser.
Not yet. Walkup is built for Illinois condominium associations today, including the Illinois filings. Email us and we'll tell you when your state is ready.
Only if you want them to have one. Owners can sign in to see what they owe and how to pay, and to report a repair. They never see the association's books.
Whatever you send them. Walkup drafts the email with the figures and the files to attach. You can also give them time-limited read access to the books.
It's yours. Export the ledger, documents and owner list any time. There's no contract.
Every account uses two-step sign-in. Each association's data is walled off at the database, and every change is logged. Read the details on our Security page.
