Background

About Brian Ness

As a global engagement leader and having worked within our National Office, I am responsible for some of Firm’s most complex real estate engagements. I consult on accounting and reporting for real estate transactions including many of our real estate IPO transactions. With over 25 years of experience serving clients in the real estate industry, my work includes the following: public/private real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), real estate investment advisory firms, opportunity funds, commercial developers, and residential homebuilders, as well as extensive transactional real estate investment and acquisition due diligence experience in connection with both property and corporate M&A transactions. Serving clients and managing engagement teams around the world has provided me a global perspective within the real estate and asset management industry. I derive great joy and satisfaction leveraging my colleagues around the world to deliver value and top notch service. Over the years, I have presented our Emerging Trends in Real Estate insights in collaboration with ULI in the US, Europe and Asia. I am also the editor in chief of PwC's quarterly Current Developments in Real Estate. With a passion for furthering youth education locally and around the world, I have led PwC's efforts in the New York area for our "Access Your Potential" program which has made a commitment to address youth education with a focus on financial literacy. I have participated in PwC's Project Belize which teaches financial literacy to teachers and students in Belize City, Belize
