Accounts Payable Management

Your community manager will review all invoices upon receipt and SFMC will pay all routine services on a weekly basis; however, Board of Directors approval will be solicited for large or unusual expenditures. A detailed disbursement ledger will be provided to the Association on a monthly basis and all invoices will be made available to the Association’s auditor for year-end accounting purposes.
