As part of CapGrow’s 20th Anniversary Celebration, we’re highlighting our Team with Tenure. It is with pride we feature Nina, who has been with CapGrow for 10 years.
When I came on in 2015, we were a much smaller organization with just under 200 homes and ambitious plans to grow. One of my first major contributions was strengthening the foundation of our financial reporting — organizing and streamlining accounting processes to better support our future as we scaled up. Those early efforts set the tone for how we’ve built financial discipline into every stage of our growth. Today, CapGrow has expanded to over 1,100 homes nationwide, and it’s been incredibly fulfilling to help shape that journey.
Q: How has your knowledge of the industry evolved over your time with CapGrow?
A: My knowledge of the industry has grown significantly since joining CapGrow. We transitioned from tax-basis to GAAP-basis accounting, which required a deep dive into technical standards and reporting requirements. I also had to quickly get up to speed on the unique tax and accounting rules that apply to non-traded REITs, as CapGrow became part of that structure.
In the present, I spend most of my day focused on strategic financial oversight. I am managing cash flow and capital planning, performing financial underwriting for new leases and evaluating purchase & sale opportunities to ensure they meet our return expectations. A big part of my role also involves working with lenders — from navigating loan structures and negotiations to handling compliance reporting and covenant monitoring.
My goals for the Accounting Department are to create scalable, automated processes that allow us to move quickly without compromising accuracy. I want our team to be seen not just as number-crunchers, but as proactive partners who bring clarity, control, and confidence to every part of the business. We’re fortunate to have an incredibly strong team, and it’s because of their talent and dedication that we’re able to deliver at such a high level.
Q: What should CFO’s know about CapGrow?
A: CFOs should know that CapGrow is more than just a real estate company — we operate at the intersection of real estate and social impact. Our lease structures are long-term, triple-net or modified-net and backed by providers serving individuals with disabilities–which brings stability but also requires thoughtful underwriting. We’re focused on sustainable, mission-aligned growth, and we take financial discipline seriously at every level.
Whether it’s making CapGrow’s national presence known, deepening relationships with lenders and investors, or helping a new provider navigate their first lease with us, I see finance as a bridge — connecting our mission to the resources and structure we need to keep growing.
