Accord Group Holdings (“Accord”), a boutique real estate merchant banking and investment management firm, is seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to join the firm as an Associate.

 

FIRM

With offices in San Francisco, Chicago and London, Accord and its affiliates provide investment management services to institutional and accredited investors targeting the real estate private equity industry and advisory services to private equity real estate sponsors.  Accord’s founding Principals -- Jack Berquist, Desi Co and Jeff Sobczynski -- average over 25 years of real estate experience. The founding Principals, some of whom have worked together for over 15 years, possess a complementary set of real estate skills, including investment, private placement, deal origination, due diligence and underwriting, financing, asset management and financial reporting. Accord’s management team combines experience from major real estate investment management and investment banking firms, including Mesirow Financial, Merrill Lynch, Banc of America Securities and Macquarie Capital.

 

Advisory: Accord provides advisory services with a focus on providing private capital raising and strategic advice to real estate fund sponsors, operators, REITs and other real estate market participants. Accord works with some of the most prominent international and domestic real estate companies to create private equity capital solutions involving institutional and accredited individual investors.

 

Investment management: Accord provides investment management services for its own book as well as for third-party clients, including institutional and high-net-worth investors.  Accord seeks to generate superior risk-adjusted, long-term results by accessing top-tier fund managers in strategies that are underserved or not widely recognized by equity capital sources today, but are expected to be more widely followed over the intermediate-term.

  • Creating and analyzing financial models
  • Participating in comprehensive due diligence on, and performing underwriting of, sponsors, strategies, markets and properties
  • Assisting Accord’s Principals with the underwriting of potential investment opportunities
  • Supporting Accord’s overall internal efforts to ensure seamless execution

QUALIFICATIONS

Ideal candidates will possess a relevant bachelor’s degree and real estate experience in finance or accounting, preferably with investment banking, real estate private equity, investment management or similar background.
