Yardi Investment Suite Opens Efficiency for Closing Books 

Closing out books and consolidating financial data at the end of the month or year-end can be hectic and nerve-wracking. The last thing you need is the risk of lost or inaccurate data. That can happen with spreadsheets, disparate data systems and third-party property management systems. 

It doesn’t happen with the Yardi Investment Accounting, part of the Investment Suite, which houses all investment data, from the investor to the asset levels, within a single platform and delivers underlying asset operational data with full transparency and drill down. 

The suite takes time-consuming manual processes off your hands. It automates key accounting processes that would otherwise be done in spreadsheets or disparate databases, such as: 

• Full financial consolidations for all ownership entities clear to the investor, regardless of their complexity 

• Consolidations for different book reporting basis (i.e., GAAP, IFRS, TAX, Fair Value vs Cost, Etc.) and different base currencies for multi-currency funds 

• Eliminations and allocations 

• Investor NAV allocations, fees and tax withholdings 

• Partner transfers, reporting, waterfall distribution calculations and open-end fund management 

With Yardi Investment Accounting, the financial consolidation element of the Investment Suite, the private equity real estate investment firm Unico Properties can effortlessly track ownership percentages and other details in fund or joint venture subscription agreements. The platform also facilitates the calculation of distributions and contribution percentages with a few clicks.

“As an integrated solution that doesn’t require intermediary hubs, Yardi Investment Accounting is much faster, accurate and easier than error-prone spreadsheets.”   

Whitney Wolfe, Senior Manager, Accounting Operations, Unico Properties

• Better client service with customized financial reporting for various fund and asset types depending on a client’s needs

• More effective portfolio management with workers refocused from data entry to analysis. 

By adopting Yardi Investment Accounting, private real estate firm Cohen Asset Management significantly accelerated their book-closing process, transforming what was once a stressful, overtime-heavy task into a more efficient workflow.

“Yardi Investment Accounting has greatly reduced the amount of time we spend closing our books. What used to take weeks takes us two to three days .”
