Get the financial comparison done. Then make the call.
Lease decisions stall in the financial comparison with competing spreadsheets and different metrics, each one telling a different story. We handle that part. Send us the options you're evaluating, and we'll return a single, defensible financial comparison in approximately two business days. So the conversation in the room can be about strategy, not methodology.
Who this is for
For the people making the decision and the advisors helping them get there
Whether you're evaluating options internally or presenting a recommendation to a client, the same problem applies: the financial comparison has to be settled before the strategic conversation can start.
Decision makers
- CFOs and Finance Teams who need to present a lease recommendation to a board or executive committee with a clear financial rationale, not competing spreadsheets.
- Corporate Real Estate Leads managing multi-city footprint decisions where different brokers are presenting options in different formats.
- Founders and Operators facing their first significant office commitment, where the wrong choice is a multi-year obligation on the balance sheet.
Advisors and brokers
- Tenant-Rep Brokers who want to present a structured, presentation-ready comparison that positions their recommendation on financial merit rather than gut feel.
- Occupier Advisors evaluating lease vs. purchase decisions, short-term flex vs. direct lease trade-offs, or complex incentive packages across multiple submarkets.
- Any situation where the client needs to walk into a room and explain clearly and defensibly, why one option is better than another.
How we help
A lease is a capital investment decision. We treat it that way.
Lease decisions are time-bound. There's a site, a shortlist, a board meeting. The analysis has to land before the decision closes, and it has to be clean enough that no one in the room can argue with the numbers and redirect the conversation.
We take every cash flow for every option — rent steps, operating cost structures, TI timing, relocation costs, free rent periods, lease-end obligations — account for its timing, and convert the whole thing into a single comparable monthly cost. One number per option, regardless of term length, incentive structure, or upfront capital required.
The result is a comparison you can walk into any room with. Option A costs $X/month. Option B costs $Y more per month. Here is exactly what that premium buys. Now you're having the strategic conversation, not relitigating the financial one.

How it works
Three steps. No long engagements.
Start with a free conversation to scope the work. If it makes sense, we build the analysis and hand it back to you in ReturnSuite, ready to present, and yours to update as the deal evolves.
Free scoping call
We spend 45 minutes understanding your situation including how many options you're evaluating, where you are in the process and what the decision actually hinges on. We’ll confirm whether a full analysis is warranted, and if it is, agree on scope and timeline before any work begins.
45 minutes · FreeWe build the financial model
Send us whatever you have: term sheets, broker proposals, informal offers. No required format. We model every cash flow for every option: rent steps, operating cost structures, TI timing, relocation costs, free rent periods, lease-end obligations. Each one discounted at your cost of capital into a single comparable monthly cost.
If anything is ambiguous or missing, we'll reach out directly rather than make assumptions that distort the comparison.
~ 2 business daysYou get a live model, not just a report
The deliverable is a working model in ReturnSuite, not a static PDF. It's presentation-ready from day one, clear enough for a board presentation, detailed enough for your finance team to interrogate. And as negotiations evolve, you can update assumptions and re-run the comparison yourself or reach out, and we'll make the tweaks. Whatever works best for you.
