ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
Start with SMG
For over 30 years, the Cornerstone Accounting Group operated under another name: the Schonbraun McCann Group. Founded by Bruce Schonbraun in 1973, SMG quickly established itself as an expert in the real estate and real estate finance industries, providing a complete range of accounting, tax, advisory, transaction and specialty financial services.
Today, Cornerstone’s clients include some of the country’s top hedge funds, developers, financial institutions, pension fund advisors, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate operating companies (REOCs). Over the years, the firm has worked for the likes of CB Richard Ellis Financial, Prudential Real Estate Investors, Citigroup, Tishman Speyer Properties and the Sapir Organization. Between 2006 and 2008, it played a role in real estate transactions valued at a total of $100 billion; it’s had a hand in major deals like Gale International’s $30 billion development in South Korea; Beacon Capital Partners’ $6.4 billion acquisition of office properties in Seattle and Washington D.C.; and the IPOs of Northstar Realty, Gramercy Capital and Douglas Emmett.
