About Eric Zdanowski

with 8+ years helping multifamily + hospitality operators scale through clean monthly close workflows, investor-ready reporting, and high-leverage automation, turning messy property data into clear decision-ready insights.Most operators still run on 2005-era workflows: manual decks, disconnected systems, slow closes. I specialize in modernizing the financial stack so leaders can move faster. • Standardizing close + variance processes so results are trustworthy and on time • Translating property-level performance into clear narratives for partners/investors • Automating KPI reporting so GMs can act on drivers, not chase spreadsheets : • Reduced partner deck creation time %( → ) via KPI dashboard + Power BI automation • Cut close timeline %( → ) by standardizing variance workflows + handoffs • Developed proprietary Excel budgeting model from scratch, standardizing annual business planning methodology across portfolio. • Built a across + allowing hotel-focused external stakeholders to better benchmark performance. • Used AI to analyze + unstructured invoices, identified a hidden % cost driver which led to $+ annual savings across three properties • Managed and mentored offshore analysts; introduced QA standards to improve accuracy and reliability : curious, direct, and systems-first. I’m comfortable owning the numbers end-to-end and aligning finance, ops, and leadership around what matters: I’m into sailing, digital nomad life, and podcasts (AI Daily Brief, TBOY, Morning Brew, LSCRE). Currently reading Essentialism by Greg McKeown.Interested in tech-enabled operators (flexible living / apartment hotels / boutique hospitality). Message me here or email: e••••••••@gmail.com.
