Audit-Ready Files. Compliance Confidence. Financial Protection.
Zeffert’s file review services unlock the full financial potential of affordable housing by ensuring that every certification supports your bottom line. We turn complex compliance into a strategic asset, protecting credits, expediting 8609s, and preserving funding. Without this layer of expertise, even a small oversight could cost thousands in lost credits or failed audits.
Why It Matters
File errors don’t just lead to findings, they lead to lost credits, reputational risk, and many more problems. Zeffert’s review process offers an expert set of eyes, ensuring certifications align with eligibility, income calculations, and program requirements.
What Zeffert Provides and How It Helps You
We strategically review files not just to identify errors, but to shield clients from financial risk and reputational harm. With deep program expertise, our process streamlines corrections, accelerates approvals, and builds investor trust, making compliance a proactive asset, not a reactive fix.
What are File Reviews?
File Reviews evaluate tenant certification files for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with complex housing program rules. At Zeffert & Associates, File Review isn’t just an administrative checkpoint, it’s a frontline defense against financial penalties, credit loss, and regulatory findings. As layered financing and regulatory oversight increased, file reviews became critical to long-term credit preservation. HUD’s 4350.3 Handbook, IRS Section 42, and evolving state overlays require mastery to navigate. Zeffert brings that mastery to every file we touch.
- Full file review for move-ins, annuals, interims, and corrections
- Blended program layering guidance (LIHTC/HOME/HUD/RD)
- Summary findings with itemized corrections
- Certification approval or deficiency documentation
- File audit preparation and post-review consultations

Our role is to make sure our clients never lose what they’ve earned simply because of avoidable compliance errors. That’s the kind of precision that turns mission into margin.” —Jeffrey Promnitz, CEO
