Sacramento, CA (July 22, 2013) – TRI Commercial/CORFAC International President Tom Martindale, SIOR announced that Andrew (Drew) Murbach was among 17 regional executives honored by the Sacramento Business Journal  as the top chief financial officers in the region.

Murbach was the only CFO of a commercial real estate firm recognized at a luncheon last Friday that was attended by more than 350 of Sacramento’s business and community agency leaders, staff and family members.

He was one of three of the region’s top CFOs honored in the category for ‘small private companies.’ Other honorees in this category were James Kim, CFO of First 1st Community Bank and Darla Colson, CFO of Gilbert Associates Inc. Other categories included ‘medium private company,’ ‘large private company,’ ‘small nonprofit/public agency,’ ‘large nonprofit/public agency’ and two individual awards by the judges’ choice.

“When Ed Benoit (Senior Vice President & Sacramento Regional Manager) and I decided to nominate Drew for CFO of the Year, we both said in near unison that ‘no one is more deserving than Drew.’ He’s not only a great colleague to work with, his leadership skills contribute to our strategic planning while his technical and financial management skills were essential to getting us through the recent recession,” said Martindale.

Murbach’s duties include responsibility for all accounting functions, payroll, vendor relationships, human resources and the company’s IT department. In recent years, Drew has become a genuine expert in cloud computing and data storage by maximizing the operating platforms of Windows and Apple for business presentations and other applications. He has also evaluated dozens of enterprise ‘Apps” or software applications and adapted them to TRI’s operations as applicable.

Recent accomplishments on TRI’s behalf include the successful execution of sound accounting practices in support of TRI Commercial’s Property Management Division, which has recently expanded the scope of its operations to include numerous mobile home parks, a previously un-tapped market niche.  As a result, Property Management has grown to over 3 million square feet under management.
