Fee Accounting and Consulting Services

The Housing Opportunities Commission of Howard County, located in Columbia, Maryland, is seeking a qualified United States-based organization to provide offsite fee accounting and consulting services. The agency requires a vendor to manage financial reporting and analysis for assigned properties to ensure accurate oversight of third-party management companies. The selected partner will resolve the challenge of consolidating disparate financial data into unified reports for management and the commission board. The scope of work covers preparing journal entries and mapping income and balance sheet line items from third-party reports to the commission's chart of accounts within five business days of receipt. The agency requires the vendor to prepare monthly financial statement analyses, review depreciation, investigate budget variances, monitor delinquency trends, and track vacancy levels. Additionally, the vendor must identify accounting misclassifications, consolidate monthly financial statements, provide internal auditing services upon request, and assist with annual financial audit preparations. Eligible bidders must be United States organizations capable of performing all work offsite. The agency is accepting digital proposal submissions via email or an online portal, and bidders must submit all clarifying questions no later than June 16, 2026. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and intends to award a contract for a one-year period.
