What makes commercial real estate accounting different from other industries?
Commercial real estate accounting involves unique complexities like property-level income and expense tracking, lease accounting under ASC 842, multi-entity structures, and complex revenue recognition for percentage rents and tenant improvements. Unlike traditional businesses, CRE operators must manage multiple properties with different ownership structures, financing arrangements, and reporting requirements simultaneously.

A fractional CFO provides strategic financial leadership without the cost of a full-time executive. For CRE operators, this means expert guidance on property valuations, investment analysis, debt structuring, and portfolio optimization. Our fractional CFOs bring deep industry experience to help you evaluate acquisition opportunities, optimize financing, and prepare for exits, all while providing the financial reporting and analysis your investors expect.

We understand the unique financial considerations and reporting requirements across different property classes.
Can you help us become GAAP compliant for our financial statements?
bsolutely. We specialize in bringing CRE companies into GAAP compliance, particularly around complex areas like lease accounting (ASC 842), revenue recognition for tenant improvements, and proper classification of development costs versus operational expenses. This compliance is essential for institutional investors, lenders, and potential buyers.
How do you handle multi-entity accounting structures common in real estate?
We're experienced with complex ownership structures including joint ventures, syndications, opportunity zones, and multiple investor classes. Our team can manage entity-level accounting while providing consolidated reporting, ensuring proper allocation of income, expenses, and distributions across all stakeholders.
Can you support us through an acquisition or development project?
Yes. We provide financial modeling for acquisitions, development project accounting, and investor reporting throughout the project lifecycle. Our team understands the financial complexities of both value-add renovations and ground-up development projects.
How do you measure success when working with CRE clients?
We establish clear KPIs tailored to your goals, which might include improved NOI margins, enhanced cash flow predictability, streamlined financial reporting, or successful completion of financing or exit transactions. We regularly review these metrics together and provide transparent reporting on our impact on your business performance.
What makes G-Squared Partners different from other accounting firms?
