Building the Financial Backbone of a $1B+ Business

Anywhere Real Estate's financial operations ran on siloed, manually reconciled legacy systems that slowed month-end close and limited leadership's visibility into performance. Trident replaced them: a $3M-a-year, multi-year enterprise accounting platform built to centralize reporting and support $1B+ in transaction volume.

01Situation

Anywhere's financial operations ran on legacy systems that were siloed, inconsistent, and reliant on manual reconciliation.

That created real drag: delays in month-end close, high operational overhead, limited transparency into financial performance, and increased compliance and audit risk.

Trident was built to replace those outdated processes with a centralized, automated, scalable financial accounting platform, one built to process $1B+ in real estate transactions across the business.

Why it mattered

Financial data touches everything a real estate business runs on. A platform this central couldn't just work, it had to be accurate, auditable, and fast enough to keep month-end close from becoming a bottleneck.

02Challenge

A high-visibility, API-heavy platform feeding data across the entire Anywhere ecosystem, with legacy data, scale, and compliance all colliding at once.

Multiple legacy systems, each with its own inconsistent data structure, had to be integrated into one platform
Workflows had to be designed to scale across thousands of agents without breaking under the load
Audit-ready controls and compliance mechanisms had to be built into the platform, not bolted on after the fact
Distributed teams across technology, operations, and finance came in with competing priorities that all had to land on one plan, and several of those partner teams were led by their own program manager and were just as large as the core Trident team
Trident was API-heavy, feeding data to several other applications across the Anywhere ecosystem, so instability anywhere in the platform had ripple effects company-wide

03Action

Led delivery of Trident as Program Manager, a high-visibility, multi-year transformation spanning technology, operations, and finance.

Coordinated a core team of 25+ engineers, a product manager, and business users, while also aligning with partner teams elsewhere in the organization, each led by its own program manager and comparable in size to the core team.

Directed the integration of multiple legacy systems with inconsistent data structures into Trident's API-heavy architecture, which fed data to several other applications across the Anywhere ecosystem.

Built audit-ready controls and compliance mechanisms into the platform's core workflows, addressing the compliance and audit risk the legacy systems carried.

Maintained delivery predictability and stakeholder confidence across distributed teams and competing priorities throughout the program.

Trident isn't a project with a finish line, it's the system Anywhere runs its financial operations on. Leading it meant replacing a fragmented, manual process with a centralized platform built to scale, stay audit-ready, and give leadership real visibility into performance, all while keeping technology, operations, and finance stakeholders aligned around one plan.
