Mid-Atlantic multifamily owner, operator, and renovator ROSS Cos. has announced the promotion of Billy J. Edwards to CFO, effective immediately. He is the first CFO at ROSS to serve in a stand-alone position.
Edwards has served as senior controller of ROSS Cos. since January 2016. In his new position, he will oversee ROSS’ accounting, finance, reporting, and tax compliance, and support overall company growth.
Before joining ROSS, Edwards worked in public accounting as a member of the Private Enterprise Practice Group with CohnReznick. He is a certified public accountant and holds a master's degree in professional accountancy from West Virginia University.
"Our rapid growth and continued focus on increasing our management client base has made it necessary to make CFO a stand-alone position, and Billy is an excellent fit for the role,” said Dave Miskovich, CEO of ROSS Cos., in a statement to the press. Miskovich served as CFO and COO prior to assuming his current title last year. "As our portfolio of owned and managed apartment communities grows throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, Billy will be a valuable resource in helping us maximize the return on every investment and management assignment we pursue."
ROSS Cos. currently manages 14,150 apartment units across 48 communities.
