How Gallagher & Mohan Scaled a Multifamily Firm’s Underwriting Capacity by 3X

The multifamily real estate sector is experiencing rapid growth in 2025, driven by increasing demand for build-to-rent and affordable housing. However, this expansion brings significant challenges for property management firms, especially in managing complex financial operations efficiently. Timely vendor payments, accurate reconciliations, and regulatory compliance are critical to maintaining operational momentum. Many firms are turning to real estate underwriting support and offshore financial analyst success strategies to overcome these hurdles. Gallagher & Mohan has helped leading multifamily firms scale their accounting capacity by providing scalable, expert offshore solutions tailored to fast-growing portfolios. In this case study, we reveal how we tripled a client’s underwriting capacity, enhancing financial accuracy and operational efficiency.

Client Background

Our client is a prominent property management company specializing in multifamily and single-family build-to-rent properties, managing over 10,000 units across nine states in the US. Experiencing rapid growth, the firm needed a strategic partner to provide scalable accounting solutions that could keep pace with its expanding portfolio. As the number of properties grew, so did the complexity of their financial operations, requiring robust systems for vendor payments, bank reconciliations, and regulatory compliance. Their goal was to enhance operational efficiency and maintain financial accuracy without compromising speed. Gallagher & Mohan stepped in with tailored offshore accounting support designed specifically to meet the evolving needs of fast-growing real estate firms like theirs.

Challenges Faced by the Client

Managing financial operations across thousands of multifamily units brought several critical challenges for our client. Ensuring timely and accurate vendor payments was essential to maintain strong vendor relationships and smooth property operations. However, the growing volume of transactions made this increasingly complex. Maintaining seamless accounts receivable processes and conducting regular bank reconciliations became more time-consuming, risking delays and errors.

Compliance with real estate tax regulations was another pressing concern. The client needed a reliable system to manage real estate tax payments accurately and stay compliant with evolving requirements. Additionally, providing reliable financial reports to investors, clients, and management was vital for transparency and decision-making but difficult to achieve with limited internal resources.

Without scalable and specialized support, these challenges threatened to slow down the company’s growth and operational efficiency. The client recognized that outsourcing real estate underwriting support and leveraging offshore analyst success could be key to overcoming these obstacles and sustaining their rapid expansion.
