Working for Neyer Properties: VP of Finance & Administration, Bryan Kelley

Consistently pushing for financial growth within the company, Bryan Kelley has successfully positioned Neyer Properties as a leader in Cincinnati Commercial Real Estate. His tireless effort is substantial. Although he is strongly dedicated to his job, Bryan still takes time out for others in the community as evidenced through participation in his parish and non-profit organizations.
As Vice President of Finance and Administration, Bryan has been with Neyer Properties for 4 years now. We sat down with Bryan to ask him some questions regarding his nomination for the 2010 CFO of the Year Award.

Why do you deserve to the nominated for CFO of the year?

In these unsettling economic times, I continue to obtain aggressive financing terms for each of our new acquisitions and developments as well as re-financing maturing loans. My work has provided our organization a platform for growth. I have expanded our lending partners significantly in a shrinking lending environment.
I not only understand risks and opportunities within our company and industry but provide solutions to those risks and convey those solutions to employees who can best implement them within our organization. This recognition has allowed us to profitably expand our business while others are forced to retract or downsize.

How has your work impacted the company’s results over time?

My attention to the risks of the organization ahead of the latest downturn has allowed us to continue our profitable growth in this recession. I have listened to the various market forces, including lenders, partners, and competitors to provide solutions to our own internal concerns as well as external concerns of others. These solutions have set us apart from our competition and have allowed us to take advantage of opportunities in the current marketplace.

How have you contributed to the company’s growth and profitability?

My implementation of the current corporate structure, by streamlining our operations, complimented by creating a more efficient working environment, has truly made us a more profitable organization. Structure and planning complimented by implementation and focus have been crucial to our company’s growth and profitability.

How have you made contributions outside the company?

Currently I am Vice President of my church Parish Council. Additionally, I also coach a variety of youth soccer teams year round. I have run multiple full marathons as well as relay marathons for the Leukemia & Lmyphoma Society and Shoulder to Shoulder non-profit organizations.
I am also instrumental in our corporate commitment to Working in Neighborhoods, a local non-profit, by helping make substantial capital improvements to the homes of those less fortunate.
