Other Expertise
Feasibility analysis and capital raising: Before construction starts, we can create financial projections to help maximize the project's return and then identify the range of appropriate financing possibilities, from tax credit allocations to attracting equity investors. Application preparation: We help in the development and review of applications for tax credits, tax-exempt bonds and other programs, scrutinizing them as program administrators will and thus increasing their chances of success
Financial statement audits: We conduct the financial statement audits that both the government and investors will require, and prepare tax returns for the property.
Maintaining compliance: Once the deal has closed, we can help with issues that may threaten continued tax credit eligibility such as construction delays and cost overruns. We also have unique experience with the complexities of HUD-mandated cost certification.
