CFO-level finance for real estate, without the full-time hire.
Rebo Solutions provides bookkeeping, fractional Controller, and fractional CFO services for property managers, developers, and real estate owners across Canada. Every engagement runs under the senior oversight of founder Sasha DeEll and is delivered with his team, so the judgment stays senior as the work scales. Clean books, a close you can trust, and clear answers on cash and risk.
We do the books. You run the buildings.
A 15-minute introductory call. No pitch, no obligation. We talk about what is happening at your properties and where the finance function is stretched.
Who we help
Property managers running third-party portfolios, owners with their own real estate, and developers with projects on the go. Businesses that have outgrown their bookkeeping but are not ready for a full-time finance hire. If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.
The experience behind the work spans residential and commercial real estate: from small multi-residential properties to commercial retail centres of more than 500,000 square feet, with a focus on essential-services retail — the grocery-anchored and needs-based properties that hold up in every cycle.
Property managers
Owned and third-party portfolios, residential and commercial, where the month-end close and owner reporting set the pace.
- The close drags and owner statements go out late
- CAM reconciliations are behind or disputed
- Bookkeepers need senior oversight they do not have
Developers
Projects in the ground and in the pipeline, where draws, financing, and partner reporting have to line up.
- Construction and CMHC-insured financing to manage
- LP and JV partners expecting clean reporting
- Cash across projects is hard to see in one place
Owners and investors
Families, holding companies, and investor groups with portfolios that span several entities and asset types.
- Several entities, no single view of cash
- A financing maturity coming in the next two years
- An acquisition or sale that needs proper modelling
Three roles. One finance function.
Bookkeeping keeps the records current. The Controller makes sure the numbers are right. The CFO decides what to do with them. Rebo covers all three, and you can start at any level.
The records, current
The day-to-day, done properly.
The foundation everything else is built on: transactions recorded, accounts reconciled, and nothing left to pile up at month-end.
- Day-to-day bookkeeping
- Bank and credit card reconciliations
- Accounts payable and receivable
- Rent rolls and tenant charges kept current
- Month-end support and owner statement preparation
The numbers, right
Whether the numbers can be trusted.
A disciplined close and reporting rhythm your owners, lenders, and auditors can rely on every month.
- Month-end close, done on schedule
- Owner and lender reporting
- Controls and reconciliations
- CAM reconciliations and recoveries
- Clean-up and audit-ready books
- Oversight of your bookkeeping team
The forward look
What to do with the numbers.
Budgets, forecasts, and financing decisions made with a full view of cash and risk, not a rear-view report.
- Monthly and annual cash flow reporting and forecasting
- Financial modelling for acquisitions and dispositions
- Lease reviews
- Budgets and 3 to 5 year plans
- Financing, refinancing, and lender packages
- LP, GP, and JV structures and investor reporting
Project work
CAM reconciliations
Year-end common area maintenance reconciliations and recovery calculations for commercial portfolios, done tenant by tenant with the backup your tenants and auditors expect.
Lease abstracts
Detailed lease abstracts with expert review of the items that cost money when they are missed: step-ups, CAM inclusions and exclusions, options, and key dates.
Year-end packages
Complete year-end packages prepared for your external accountants: all year-end journal entries posted and every supporting schedule assembled, so your accountant starts with clean, organized records instead of a shoebox.
Modelling and systems
Property financial models for acquisitions and dispositions, budgets and business plans, and Yardi implementations and migrations, including Breeze Premier and Voyager.
How an engagement starts
Two ways in. Know exactly what you need? Pick the service and we go straight to a scoped proposal — no review required. Not sure where the problem sits? Start with the optional Finance Review. The review earns its place for one reason: it stops you paying to fix the wrong thing first. It sequences the work, prices it honestly, and names the decisions that cannot wait. If you already know the answer, you never need it.
Book a call
Fifteen minutes to meet, hear what is happening at the property level, and see whether there is a fit.
Pick a service, or start with the Finance Review
Already know what you need — a close, a CAM reconciliation, a model? We scope it and start. Unsure? The Finance Review is a paid look at the books, cash, debt deadlines, and reporting, so the work starts in the right order.
A clear scope before ongoing work
Review clients get a decision list and a 90-day plan: what gets fixed, in what order, by when, and what it costs. Direct-service clients get the same clarity in a scoped proposal. No surprises either way.
Ongoing cadence
A monthly rhythm of close, reporting, and forecast, with direct access when a decision cannot wait for the calendar.
Track record
Career numbers from more than three decades in real estate finance — not just the last few years.
In financing and limited partner capital raised across a 30-year career, spanning acquisitions, developments, and portfolio growth.
In mortgages and refinancings placed and closed, including CMHC-insured and construction financing.
In portfolio value overseen across the career, across hundreds of corporations, holding companies, and partnerships.
Residential and commercial units implemented into Yardi, across Voyager, Breeze Premier, and Genesis setups and migrations.
Previously unbilled management fees found through lease abstracts and CAM mapping at a prior CFO engagement.
About Sasha DeEll
Sasha DeEll has spent more than 30 years in real estate finance, starting in 1992. Few finance professionals in Canada have covered as much ground: multi-residential portfolios, commercial retail up to and beyond 500,000 square feet with a focus on essential-services tenants, condominium development, resort and hospitality properties, and the holding companies and partnerships that sit behind all of them — hundreds of entities over the course of a career.
He has served as CFO of property management and development companies, raised more than $300M in financing and limited partner capital, placed over $200M in mortgages and refinancings, and led finance for a practice serving some 50 clients with a team of 13. He has implemented more than 2,000 residential and commercial units into Yardi.
Through Rebo Solutions, he brings that depth to property managers, owners, and developers across Canada: the books, the close, the reporting, the forecasting, and the financing work, at a fraction of a full-time hire. Sasha sets the approach and oversees the senior work — the forecasts, financing, and decisions — while experienced finance professionals in Canada deliver the day-to-day as engagements grow. The point of the structure is oversight, not one person doing every task: Rebo takes on a limited number of engagements at a time so every file keeps that senior oversight as the firm grows.
His approach starts with three questions. What is actually happening at the property? What does that mean for cash and risk? And what decision needs to be made, and by when?

A good fit looks like this
If two or three of these are true, the Finance Review will pay for itself in decisions alone.
- Several entities and no consolidated view of cash
- A growing portfolio, from a few properties to multi-entity holdings
- Commercial assets with CAM and recovery work
- One or more developments on the go
- LP or JV capital that expects proper reporting
- Financials that are always a month or two behind
- A financing maturity in the next 12 to 24 months
- A finance role you have been unable to fill
Smaller portfolio, or just one thing to fix? You are still in the right place. Project work and smaller engagements are open: a CAM reconciliation, a set of lease abstracts, a year-end package, or a Finance Review to work out what you actually need. There is no minimum size to start the conversation.
