"Fractional CRE CFO Services."
Our Primary Service | Ongoing Monthly Engagement
Your commercial real estate asset or portfolio is too large, too complex, and too important to manage without a dedicated CRE Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). But hiring a full-time CRE CFO costs $280,000 to $420,000 per year (or more, for a really good one) - plus benefits, office space, and related overhead.
For most portfolios between $20 million and $200 million, that is neither practical nor necessary.
HAUTE’s “Fractional CRE CFO Service” gives you everything a full-time CRE CFO provides - monthly portfolio reporting, strategic financial guidance, deal screening, negotiations with capital providers, and unlimited consultation - all at a fraction of the cost, with zero overhead, and the flexibility to scale your engagement as your portfolio evolves.
Greg Laskody serves as your direct and dedicated Fractional CRE CFO. Not a team. Not a rotating associate. No junior people. Just one person with over 30 years of experience across every CRE discipline, personally responsible for your portfolio’s financial oversight, every month, without exception.

How Fractional CRE CFO Services Work.
Step 1: Discovery Consultation
A confidential 60- to 90-minute call. Greg will ask about your portfolio composition, your current challenges, and your overall investment strategy and targeted goals. You will receive an honest assessment of whether HAUTE’s fractional CFO services are the right fit for your situation. There is no cost and no obligation.
Step 2: Asset / Portfolio Assessment
If there is a fit, Greg reviews your current CRE asset or portfolio: property summaries, rent rolls, operating statements, loan documents, lease schedules, partnership agreements, and capital plans. This assessment establishes the baseline for ongoing oversight.
Step 3: Custom Engagement Proposal
You receive a tailored proposal specifying scope of work, deliverables, reporting cadence, and monthly retainer. Every proposal is structured around your specific portfolio size, complexity, and needs. No templates. No one-size-fits-all pricing. All bespoke. All custom.
Step 4: Onboarding (First 30 Days)
A comprehensive onboarding process including full document collection, system setup, creation of your baseline portfolio report, and an initial strategy session to establish priorities. By day 30, your Fractional CFO engagement is fully operational.
Step 5: Ongoing Monthly Service
Monthly reports, review calls, and unlimited consultation become the rhythm of your engagement. Your Fractional CRE CFO is always available. As your portfolio grows, evolves, or faces new challenges, the services adapt with you.
The Investment.
Fractional CRE CFO retainers are structured as monthly engagements, tailored to portfolio size and complexity. A full-time CRE CFO can cost $280,000 to $420,000 per year (or more, for a good one). HAUTE delivers the same expertise at a fraction of that investment, with zero overhead and complete flexibility.
Engagements begin with a minimum commitment of 3 to 6 months, with corresponding fees based on the Client’s scope, objectives, and nature of the guidance required. We recommend scheduling a confidential consultation to discuss your portfolio and receive a custom proposal.
