Accounting firms for multifamily and affordable housing

Multifamily owners, and especially affordable housing properties, answer to HUD, state housing finance agencies and tax credit investors, each with its own audit and reporting deadlines. A firm that knows HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) financial submissions and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit compliance avoids late or rejected filings.

Where to start: Pease Bell, CPAs lists multifamily and affordable housing among its core industries and serves it with audit and assurance, tax advisory and client accounting as a regional firm headquartered in Cleveland.
