About Ben

Fractional CFO for founder-led commercial real estate owners and property management companies. I build the cash and scenario tools, prepare portfolios for lender and investor scrutiny, and own the financial judgment behind major capital decisions. Before CRE FO, I spent 15+ years in CRE finance, starting in audit and diligence at Big 4 and regional firms, then as CFO of institutional platforms and family offices. I'm a New York CPA who works hands-on with owners running multi-entity structures.
