Industries We Serve
As retail margins tighten, even small inaccuracies in lease or AP operations can significantly impact profitability. Here's where we see retailers struggling most:
Our audits consistently find 8-12% in CAM overcharges across retail portfolios. Excluded costs being passed through, incorrect pro-rata calculations, and capital expenses buried in operating charges. It adds up fast when you have many locations.
Renewal option windows. Kick-out clause triggers. Co-tenancy notification requirements. Miss these dates and you lose negotiating leverage, or worse, get locked into unfavorable terms. Higher premiums on renegotiations are common when leverage is lost.
Every landlord sends invoices differently. Every market has different expense structures. Your team spends more time translating and organizing data than actually analyzing it. The inconsistency creates blind spots.
Escalation clauses triggered without notice. Percentage rent calculations unchecked. Hidden common area charges. Without centralized visibility, costs creep up silently across your entire portfolio.
THE BOTTOM LINE: A multi-location portfolio with average CAM overcharges, missed deadlines, and inconsistent data can lose significant margin annually in direct costs and lost leverage.
Retail organizations increasingly outsource these functions to gain control, reduce risk, and scale efficiently.
Lease administration and CAM audits require specialized expertise that is costly to maintain in-house. Access our deep bench of retail lease professionals without the overhead.
Internal finance teams are stretched managing transactional workloads across stores. Let them focus on strategic analysis while we handle the operational details.
Outsourcing improves accuracy, consistency, and turnaround time while reducing fixed overheads. Scale your portfolio without proportionally scaling your back-office team.
