My name is Howard Altshuler. I'm an assurance partner with Weaver and the firm's Real Estate Industry Leader, focused on providing to our clients the power and experience of Weaver's Real Estate Industry Group. Our clients include real estate owners, operators, developers and service providers, covering all types of real estate assets. Our clients also include homebuilders, land developers, real estate funds and other private equity owners and portfolio companies. While Weaver is headquartered in Houston and I am located in Fort Worth, our team's locations and technology allow us to provide high-quality, value-add service to our clients, regardless of where they are located.Prior to joining Weaver, as a consultant and previously as an EY partner with over 30 years of experience, both in the US and abroad, I have served real estate and private equity clients gaining significant experience working with many different types of investments and company structures. Throughout my career, here is where I have impacted my client's business.• Looking beyond just the audit. While completing projects on time, looking at the bigger picture of the client's business and operations and identifying areas for improvement, efficiencies or savings, and providing access to the right people to help with those areas.• Strategic operating and financial decisions, including market analysis, tax structuring, accounting systems, financing, investor relations and financial reporting.• Advising companies regarding SEC accounting and reporting standards, business combinations, valuation, consolidation, stock compensation, leasing and sales, internal controls and corporate governance. • By building strong networks with C-level executives at companies, and other stakeholders such as investment officers, board members, bankers, attorneys, IT professionals and appraisers to provide exceptional service to both internal and external clients. As a people person and an exceptional coach and mentor, I have been consistently recognized by my leaders and my teams as an effective leader. I am equally comfortable speaking with a new staff accountant or a CEO; in a one-on-one setting or public speaking. I am a committed volunteer for the Real Estate Council of Greater Fort Worth and the Urban Land Institute.
