accredev is your tech-powered analyst. As such, we support your operations in the manner you’d expect from an in-house analyst, but with a full suite of software and analysis tools that supercharge our efficiency and precision.

Specifically, we help with underwriting, fundraising, and asset management prior to stabilization.

We accomplish this via financial modeling, analysis, reporting, research, and data management.

We also make ourselves available for phone and/or video calls. These meetings can be used as working sessions to input new project data, run scenarios, or anything else you’d want from your analyst.

accredev does not offer bookkeeping, accounting, tax, or other controller-type services.

With that said, we can use your project ledger and financial statements as analytical frameworks to guide our forecasts.

We also do not offer advisory services at this time.

Broadly speaking, we deliver underwriting models, budgets (for fundraising), and asset management support in the form of reforecasting. A big part of each of these steps is reporting.

As far as reporting goes, accredev offers quite a long list, so let’s just start with a non-exhaustive selection of some of the most relevant ones!

• Comps Analysis

• Feasibility Studies

• Capital S&U Budgets

• Loan Payment Schedules

• Financial Statement Forecasts (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow)

• Project Returns Forecasts

• Sensitivity Analysis

• Tax Abatement Analysis

• And much more…

Perhaps most important, we offer our time to collaborate with you over video calls, running scenarios and ideating with you how to best fundraise and execute your project(s).

FTE analysts are expensive, ranging between $80,000 and $200,000 (after taxes and benefits). Hiring is also time-consuming, and training is costly.

accredev, on the other hand, can onboard you in a week and start adding value to your operation ASAP, for about half the cost of a FTE!

We accomplish this by leveraging our powerful all-in-one financial model combined with our breadth and depth of experience.

(This question is specific to the Starter Plan and Pro Plan.)

Once subscribed, you're able to add as many analysis requests to your queue as you'd like, and we will deliver them one by one.

For the Starter Plan, we turn your requests around in 5 business days. This means we can produce 4 deliverables per month.

For the Pro Plan, we turn your requests around in 2 business days. This means we can produce 10 deliverables per month.

For the Executive Plan, we turn turn your requests around in 1 business day. This means we can produce 20 deliverables per month.

Most often, multiple requests can be grouped into a single work cycle, meaning we can manage multiple requests in parallel.

After onboarding (which takes no more than a week in most cases), we get to work ASAP.

For deliverables that can be generated from our existing suite of standard reports, accredev will deliver what you need in:

• 5 business days for the Per Deal offering and for the Starter Plan;

• 2 business days for the Pro Plan; and

• 1 business day for the Executive Plan

These timeframes begin at the time we receive all the information required to conduct a complete analysis.

For requests that require structural changes (new reporting features) to our toolset, we will provide a delivery estimate, as the programming requirements may be simple or extensive. Once we program the feature in our model, it will become part of the standard report set and the next time, we will do it in our standard timeframe.

Through 2024, you will work directly me, Stephon Smith, founder of accredev.

We use Dropbox to share and manage access to sensitive documentation. Dropbox has a robust set of security features which you can review here.

If you’d like to apply additional security measures, we can activate 2-factor authentication.

We are also happy to sign any NDAs to demonstrate our commitment to keeping your project information private and secure.

accredev uses a proprietary Excel-based financial model that we developed over thousands of hours. This is what makes us “tech-powered.” For needs that cannot be handled using our financial model's native feature set, we will create a custom widget in our model that empowers us to produce a robust analysis that will deliver the answers you require. Over time then, our model will grow to accommodate your specific needs.

We of course strive to deliver a fully satisfactory product on the first go-around, but if we can't, we'll continue to revise until you're 100% satisfied.

accredev has a “Per Deal” offering that is suited exactly for this purpose. If you have only one project that you’d like to underwrite, and you’re not interested in partnering with us past underwriting, the Per Deal product is probably for you.

We do not offer refunds for work produced.

accredev analysts are available to meet between 4 and 20 hours per month, depending on your plan. See below for details.

For our Per Deal offering (underwriting only), we will meet for up to 1 hour (max 2 meetings) after delivery to review the model and any reports generated from it.
