Real Estate Investment Companies

Audit & Assurance Services

The structure complexity and volume of entities associated with real estate investment companies requires an audit and assurance team with the right combination of depth and breadth to effectively service your needs. LGA’s real estate investment company team has national and regional firm experience so we can deliver timely, quality financial statements to you under a client-centric service model. These audits are performed under a cost-efficient model and we work closely with your team to ensure that the financial statements are issued in accordance with the agreed upon dates.

Experience the LGA way and the difference will be apparent to your internal financial team, as well as those charged with governance.

Business Valuation Services

Reliable valuation reports are an essential element to issuing meaningful and appropriately presented financial statements. Whether you are looking for an independent CPA firm to prepare business valuations  for the various properties to provide to outside auditors or want a firm with assurance and attest experience internally to evaluate the externally prepared valuations, LGA has the team to meet your needs. Work with a team that takes the time to understand the unique aspects of your properties to arrive at a valuation that is appropriate and makes sense and eliminate the frustration of what often becomes a commoditized process.

Business & Individual Tax Services

Special profit and loss allocations, carried interest, and preferential liquidating distributions are just a few of the areas that are often reported inaccurately on tax filings for real estate investment companies. At LGA, we’ve got you covered. We have been servicing clients with complex entity structures with blocker entities and foreign investors, as well as complex operating agreements and related provisions for decades so we know what to look for to ensure that the related tax compliance properly reflects these provisions. Tax minimization is always a priority to ensure that the funds are available for future investment.  We are committed to keeping current with the ever-changing tax landscape, and to providing proactive and timely communications about regulatory changes to ensure that the decisions that you are making along the way are well informed.  Learn more about our tax services for businesses and investors.
