About Hugh Nelson

As a seasoned financial executive with over three decades of experience in accounting and finance, I serve as the Chief Financial Officer at Southeast Capital Companies, LLC, a leading multi-family real estate development firm in the Southeast. My career reflects a proven track record in managing complex financial operations, driving strategic growth, and fostering collaboration across stakeholders. I specialize in overseeing financial and operational aspects of corporate, construction, and property-level entities, including financial reporting, budgeting, treasury services, and risk management. My expertise extends to managing investor relationships, navigating intricate real estate transactions, and developing comprehensive pro formas and cash flow models. Throughout my tenure, I’ve played a pivotal role in driving financial efficiency, including the reconciliation and recording of acquisitions and dispositions, approval of construction draws, and monitoring partnership agreements. I’ve developed and maintained strong banking relationships, facilitated debt procurement, and provided insights that contribute to our organization’s long-term success. In addition to my real estate experience, I’ve honed my skills across diverse industries, including retail development, public accounting, property management, and non-profit organizations. My early career in audit and senior accounting roles shaped my analytical acumen, strategic problem-solving abilities, and attention to detail.
