Condo Q&A

Are Condo Association Office Managers required to be licensed?

I live in a 227 unit Illinois Condo Association, and we are currently looking for an office manager. I’m not referring to a property management company, simply an individual that would be in charge of bookkeeping and collecting fees for the association. It would be a role more similar to an office manager at a larger company.

I’d done this type of work for about twenty years. We used accounting software and contracted out our auditing services. The person we are considering has the experience of managing an office of a huge complex. Is it required that they are licensed in property management, or in the process of becoming licensed?
