Stewart Grounds, CPA
Chief Financial Officer
Through a fortuitous twist in 2009, Stewart and Jimmy’s professional lives re-linked post AIMCO and they headed to the success we know today as Arnold-Grounds.
Stewart’s story actually begins much earlier when he graduated from University of Texas at Austin, with a B.A. in the Business Honors program and began his career as an auditor with Ernst & Young in Houston, Texas. His career path included multiple director and managerial positions including Crescent Real Estate Equities in Fort Worth, ProLogis in Chicago and Regional Vice President of Finance and then Operations for AIMCO’s Dallas Region managing a portfolio of 63 properties totaling approximately 15,000 units in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee.
In 2009, Stewart joined Jimmy Arnold at Eureka Multifamily Group and brought the company back into compliance and established controls to the cash management function. Today, Stewart heads up the financial side of A-G and prides himself in providing clean, accurate, GAAP-compliant and understandable financial reporting to the end user. When Stewart is not at work, you will find him with family, volunteering at his church, and running in half-marathons.
“I consider it a noble effort to provide a safe, quiet residence for people to call home. In turn, if our apartment communities are filled with residents enjoying a safe, quiet lifestyle experience the properties will become more profitable. There is great satisfaction in seeing value delivered to the owners.”
