MRI Software Consulting: Automate Month-End Close Fast

MRI Software consulting is essential for real estate firms looking to automate month-end close, reduce manual accounting work, and improve reporting accuracy.

REdirect is a leading MRI Software consulting partner with over 25 years of experience helping organizations optimize MRI environments, implement automation, and scale financial operations efficiently.

From SaaS migrations to bank reconciliation automation, our work focuses on eliminating operational bottlenecks and accelerating financial close cycles across complex real estate portfolios.

Some partnerships are transactional. Ours with MRI Software is not. 

For more than two decades, REdirect has operated as a leading MRI Software consulting partner, helping real estate organizations extract measurable performance from one of the industry's most configurable platforms. From SaaS migrations to financial close automation, the work focused on solving operational complexity at scale. 

In 2025, MRI named us Partner of the Year. We don’t lead with that because it’s a credential. We lead with it because it reflects something true about how we operate: we go deep, we stay committed, and we build things that hold up over time.

What Does an MRI Software Consulting Partner Actually Do?

An MRI Software consulting partner helps real estate organizations configure, optimize, and automate MRI Software to improve system performance and reduce manual processes.

This includes:

• Automating month-end close workflows
• Improving financial reporting accuracy
• Streamlining bank reconciliation processes
• Optimizing system configuration based on operating models

For most firms, the biggest ROI comes from MRI automation—especially in reconciliation, reporting, and financial close processes.

Strategic Context: MRI's Flexibility Requires Specialized Expertise

MRI Software is highly flexible, but most implementations are under-optimized. Without specialized MRI consulting, organizations often struggle to fully leverage the platform.

Common challenges include:

• Inconsistent system configuration across portfolios
• Manual processes layered on top of automated capabilities
• Non-standardized reporting and reconciliation workflows
• Legacy implementation decisions that limit scalability

MRI consulting services address these gaps by aligning system configuration with business operations and introducing automation where it delivers the greatest efficiency gains.

How It Started: MRI’s First Certified Consulting Partner

REdirect’s relationship with MRI predates the modern partner ecosystem. When MRI formalized its consulting structure, REdirect became its first certified partner.

That designation followed years of embedded client work across implementations, upgrades, and operational optimization.

The firm was built on a simple premise: The most effective consultants come from the industry itself.

REdirect’s team includes former:

• Controllers

• CFOs
• Property managers
• Asset managers 

That context changes everything about how we configure, train, and support an MRI environment. It’s why clients like Newmark Knight Frank have relied on us since 1999, describing our work as consulting services “you just don’t typically find elsewhere.”

"We have relied on REdirect for our real estate technology needs since 1999 when they got us up and running on MRI. Beyond the initial implementation, they have continued to prove indispensable in helping us to get the most from our systems."

What Platinum Partner Status Actually Means for You

REdirect holds MRI Platinum Partner status — the highest tier within MRI’s partner program.

Enhanced MRI resource access: Our team has direct lines into MRI’s product, support, and technical teams. When a client issue arises, we’re not navigating the same support queue as an end user — we resolve issues faster.

Product roadmap visibility: We stay aligned with what MRI is building next, which means our clients aren’t surprised by platform changes — they’re prepared for them.

Certified consultants: Every REdirect consultant working on MRI engagements maintains current MRI certifications. That’s not a checkbox — it’s a standard we hold ourselves to because the platform evolves and our clients deserve consultants who have evolved with it.

Proven satisfaction: Across MRI implementations, REdirect carries a 95% client satisfaction rating. For a firm that does this work at scale, across diverse portfolio types and geographies, that number means something.

"Allied has engaged REdirect Consulting for a number of MRI related projects. In each case REdirect has demonstrated their professionalism and total commitment to the project. Their extensive background understanding of MRI and knowledge of the real estate industry allows them to really understand the user’s needs and requests."

Bank Rec Automation: REdirect x MRI Partnership

Bank reconciliation is one of the most time-consuming components of the month-end close process in MRI Software environments.

REdirect’s  Bank Rec Automation solution automates transaction matching, flags exceptions, and integrates bank data directly with the general ledger.

This reduces manual reconciliation work and significantly accelerates financial close timelines.

With MRI automation, organizations achieve:

• Faster month-end close cycles
• Reduced reconciliation errors
• Improved audit trails
• Less manual data entry

Bank to Book Automation further enhances efficiency by connecting financial data across systems with minimal human intervention.

MRI Ascend: Where Partnership Becomes Collaboration

REdirect is an Executive Sponsor of MRI Ascend, MRI’s flagship North American users conference. We’re at the table because we’re invested in where the platform is going — not just in servicing where it is today.

Our presence at Ascend reflects the nature of our relationship with MRI: it’s collaborative. Our consultants engage directly with MRI’s product teams, surface real client feedback from the field, and contribute perspective on what the next generation of MRI capabilities should address. That’s the kind of partnership that benefits clients downstream — because the platform improvements we advocate for are grounded in operational reality.

Why It Matters for MRI Users

Most organizations using MRI Software are not limited by the platform—they are limited by how it is configured and utilized.

Key constraints include:

• Inefficient system configuration
• Manual accounting and reconciliation processes
• Limited internal resources for continuous optimization

MRI Software consulting bridges this gap by improving system utilization, introducing automation, and aligning technology with operational needs.
