Know what your numbers can support before you make your next move.
As your real estate business grows, so does everything behind it — properties, entities, financing, cash flow, tax exposure, reporting, and the decisions competing for your attention.
Heartfelt brings your financial picture together through an ongoing CFO partnership built for real estate owners, investors, developers, and operators. From bookkeeping and accounting to proactive tax strategy and CFO guidance, we help you understand where you stand, what deserves attention next, and what your business can support before you make the next move.
See where your business stands and what may need your attention next.
Your business can outgrow the way its finances are being managed long before you realize it.
- One property becomes several.
- One entity becomes a more complicated structure.
- Debt changes. Cash moves between businesses and investments.
- New opportunities compete for capital.
- Tax decisions become connected to operating decisions.
- Reporting that once felt sufficient no longer gives you the visibility you need.
But as the business becomes more complex, you also need someone connecting those pieces and looking forward with you. That's the role of an ongoing CFO partner.
A financial partner in the business.
Many real estate operators have a bookkeeper recording transactions, a tax professional handling returns, lenders requesting information, and different reports coming from different places. Each person may be doing their job. But the owner is often still the one responsible for connecting everything.
Heartfelt changes that. We become the financial partner helping you bring the pieces together — maintaining the accounting foundation, coordinating tax strategy throughout the year, monitoring cash and profitability, improving property and entity reporting, forecasting what's ahead, and helping you evaluate important decisions before you make them.
You don't come to us only after something has happened. You have someone to call while you're deciding what should happen next.
The right level of partnership depends on where your business is today.
"CFO" can sound like something reserved for a large company with a full executive team. We don't believe it has to work that way. A real estate business with a few properties has different financial needs than a developer managing multiple projects or an operator actively acquiring and expanding a portfolio.
You may need help getting your financial records current. You may need dependable bookkeeping, accounting, and reporting every month. You may be ready for proactive tax planning and ongoing CFO guidance. Or you may need a deeper strategic partnership around acquisitions, financing, cash flow, profitability, capital allocation, and growth.
You don't pay for a full-time CFO before your business needs one.

This is how we help operators turn financial information into a stronger financial foundation for growth. These aren't three separate ideas — each one creates the conditions for the next.
Clarity
Before you can make better decisions, you need financial information you can trust and enough visibility to understand what deserves your attention. We look at the financial picture behind the business — from accounting and cash flow to property and entity performance, tax exposure, profitability, and upcoming commitments. Clarity helps us separate what matters from what is simply noise.
The result: You know where you stand and which financial priorities need attention first.
Structure
Once we know what deserves attention, we build the processes, reporting, planning, and financial cadence required to manage it consistently — stronger accounting systems, property/entity reporting, cash-flow management, tax planning, forecasting, controls, and regular CFO reviews.
The result: Your numbers, systems, tax strategy, and financial team begin working together.
Scale
With clarity and structure in place, the financial conversation becomes more forward-looking. What can the portfolio support? Where should capital go? What happens to cash under different scenarios? Scale is not simply owning more properties or generating more revenue — it's having the financial infrastructure and CFO partnership to grow without losing control of what's happening underneath the business.
The result: Bigger decisions are made with better information, stronger preparation, and a clearer understanding of the trade-offs.
Growth creates new complexity. New complexity requires new clarity. That clarity informs the next level of structure. And stronger structure creates greater capacity to scale. That's why we call it an operating system, not a one-time financial plan.
One financial relationship. A much more connected picture.
Your exact engagement depends on where your business is today, but Heartfelt can bring together the financial functions that real estate operators often manage separately.
Accounting & Financial Foundation
Accurate bookkeeping, reconciliations, monthly close, financial statements, and reliable financial records.
Property & Entity Visibility
Reporting that helps you understand what's happening across properties, entities, and projects — not simply what's in the bank.
Cash Flow & Profitability
Understand where cash is going, what's generating returns, and what upcoming commitments could affect liquidity.
Proactive Tax Strategy
Planning throughout the year so decisions can be considered before tax consequences become year-end surprises.
Forecasting & Planning
Looking ahead at cash requirements, major expenses, financing needs, distributions, and growth plans.
Acquisitions & Growth Decisions
Financial perspective before you commit capital — how a decision may affect cash, debt, taxes, and the rest of the portfolio.
Ongoing CFO Guidance
Regular financial conversations with someone who knows your business and can help identify what deserves attention next.
Because real estate financial decisions don't happen in isolation.
We work with real estate entrepreneurs whose businesses and portfolios have become more sophisticated than basic bookkeeping and year-end tax preparation can support alone.
Real Estate Investors & Portfolio Owners
Building and managing growing portfolios while balancing cash, debt, taxes, distributions, and future opportunities.
Multifamily Operators
Managing property-level performance while making decisions across a broader operating business.
Real Estate Developers
Navigating project costs, financing, cash requirements, tax considerations, timelines, and development decisions.
Founder-Led Real Estate Companies
Building the financial infrastructure behind teams, operations, multiple entities, investments, and continued growth.
Different businesses. Different levels of complexity. One principle: we meet you where you are.
Margo Masri
Founder & CEO | Fractional CFO | Speaker
For more than two decades, Margo Masri has worked at the intersection of business, accounting, tax, and real estate. Her experience includes working alongside business owners as well as understanding real estate from the operating and development side — giving her a perspective that extends beyond producing financial statements.
Margo built Heartfelt around something she saw repeatedly: business owners didn't simply need someone to organize their numbers. They needed someone they could think with — someone who understood the financial picture, could identify what deserved attention, and could help them evaluate the trade-offs behind important decisions.
Today, Margo leads Heartfelt as an ongoing CFO partner to business owners, supported by a team that provides the accounting, bookkeeping, tax, and financial infrastructure behind that relationship.

We'll meet you where you are — and when your business is ready for more, the partnership can grow with you.
