Responsibilities

Peña Alcántara Consultants was responsible for conceptualizing and developing the accounting and proactive management system at ALCO Real Estate. We used ALCO’s extensive in house capabilities to manage real estate and deal with payments from over 2000 real estate listings. Peña Alcántara Consultants had to integrate the cash flow from the real estate with the expenditures to maintain the real estate. The system also informed ALCO Real Estate of each real estate expenditure and the actions necessary to recoup the investment. In addition, the system gave ALCO a view of market trends in terms of quality and price of real estate based on real estate renting price and real estate improvements.
