Questions, Answered.

We’re here for the follow-up questions too — reach out and a partner will respond within one business day.

What types of companies do you serve in this industry?

Developers, owners, operators, general contractors, and design firms running capital-intensive, deadline-driven projects.

Do you place project and field leadership, or only corporate-office roles?

Both. Alongside corporate functions like finance and technology, we place project and field leadership and the design talent that keeps a project on schedule and on budget.

Can you help with real estate-specific accounting and investor reporting?

Yes, our Interim Solutions: Real Estate Finance & Accounting practice covers property and project accounting, lease and investor reporting, fund accounting, and FP&A and budgeting.

Do you support ERP or systems implementations for these industries?

Yes, our Tech Optimization practice assesses, selects, and implements the ERP, CRM, and finance technology platforms these businesses run on.

How do you help protect a project’s schedule and budget through the right hire?

In an industry where schedule and budget are everything, we focus on placing people who’ve operated in capital-intensive, deadline-driven environments before. That’s how, for example, a six-month interim engagement rebuilt a business unit’s finance foundation without slowing down its integration into a much larger enterprise.
