We’re accountable.
DNI’s accounting department provides clear and concise reporting to our clients through detailed monthly financials that clearly track all activity. Association funds are held in an FDIC-insured bank account that is in the name of the client (absolutely no comingling of funds). Individual accounting specialists are assigned to each community which allows homeowners to communicate with the same representative who is familiar with their association. While some competitors have been acquired by large national companies with out-of-state accounting departments, DNI remains committed to its independent ownership and 100% St. Louis-based operations.

- Process Billing – coupon books for monthly payers or invoices for annual payers.
