Seth Walker

As the company’s chief financial officer, his role is the management of the corporate accounting and finance department; ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting to all of their stakeholders, including owners, managers, and banks. Seth manages the company’s owner and lender relationships and work with their operators to identify and exploit opportunities and spot negative trends before they become issues.

Seth worked his way through college preparing individual and business tax returns at a local CPA firm, eventually earning a Master’s Degree in Accounting from the University of Florida. After college, he moved to Atlanta and joined Deloitte, conducting audits in the construction, retail, real estate, and software industries. Subsequently, he accepted a role with PwC in the financial due diligence arm of Mergers and Acquisitions, working on deals ranging in size from $40-million to over a billion dollars, primarily in healthcare – including senior housing. It was this valuable experience that eventually led me to his current role at SRI Management.

From a business standpoint, senior housing has a reputation for being old and dated (not ironically…) and many companies are slow to make changes. Forward-thinking organizations like SRI Management are rushing to integrate the digital world, pushing the benefits of technology, information-driven services, and decision-making.

Seth believes the future of senior housing will be targeting the middle-income market. The current construction boom has primarily focused on high-end and high-cost communities. The impending growth from the aging baby boomer generation will dictate a huge need for quality and economical products, which do not exist in large capacity today.
