Karim Hutson – Genesis Companies
Genesis Companies is a full-service development and construction firm enhancing communities in New York and New Jersey. Genesis Companies develops high-quality affordable and mixed-income housing. Founder Karim Hutson initially engaged SBF in 2008 for tax services when the company was in its early stages only managing a few housing projects.
As time went on, Genesis’ portfolio and accounting needs grew. Karim determined that placing their entire accounting needs with SBF would be the most effective way to move forward.
Now, SBF handles all aspects of Genesis’ day-to-day accounting including dealing directly with financial institutions, coordinating draws to keep new developments on track, and acting as an outsourced CFO in a high-level advisory role.
Karim and his colleagues have only positive things to say about working with SBF. “Since SBF took over our accounting function, it has been night and day,” said Karim. “The improvement in the quality of our accounting records and processes has been remarkable. We rely on SBF as a trusted advisor, using their experience with other businesses in industries like ours to help us make decisions.”
