Our Expertise

Building better communities takes creative solutions

In the affordable housing landscape, challenges like finding and retaining talent, high-volume deliverables, tight deadlines, succession planning, and rising operating costs can be daunting. If you want to grow, expand, or forge relationships in this dynamic industry, you can count on us for valuable support.

Our experts serve more than 1,200 affordable housing entities, including for-profit and nonprofit developers, investors, public housing authorities, low-income housing syndicators, property management companies, and lenders. We’re also well-versed in low-income housing tax credits, opportunity zones, HUD loans and subsidies, the Rental Assistance Demonstration, state-based programs, and more.

With our deep expertise and professional relationships, we’re regularly invited to speak and share our knowledge at industry events across the country, including the Consortium for Housing and Asset Management (CHAM) and the Affordable Housing Association of CPAs (AHACPA), as well as various state-based affordable housing conferences.

We also serve a broad mix of other industries, including financial services, not-for-profit, healthcare, senior care and living, and the public sector — all of which impact and are involved in the affordable housing industry. This diverse experience enables us to deliver a well-rounded perspective and broader skill set, acting as a single point of contact for our clients’ audit, tax, or consulting needs.

Our clients say

Cinnaire has worked with Plante Moran for nearly 20 years. The accountants and advisors at the firm are like family – they’ve watched our company grow over the years and have been a huge part of that growth. They have local presence and knowledge, but they also have strong national experience and are at the table for national policy decisions. We get the best of both worlds.
