Case study:
Helping a real estate investment trust
achieve greater operational efficiency
Because of organic growth and acquisitions, a leading real estate investment trust
focused on the healthcare industry was faced with an extremely complex operational
model. CohnReznick was invited to help the company evaluate and redesign business
processes in accounting, tax, financial reporting, and information management. Our
Real Estate Advisory team worked with the company to streamline operations and
better align its organizational structure with reporting and consolidation needs.
As a result of our work, the company was able to condense the four-week
financial close and reporting cycle to one week, significantly heightening its
efficiency and providing meaningful expense reductions.

Case Study:

leading global real estate advisor
A leading global real estate investment advisor and one of
North America’s foremost providers of real estate services

impediments to productivity. The resultant information
management strategy recommended the most efficient
