Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Occupier develops cloud-based lease management software built specifically for commercial tenants rather than landlords. The platform integrates lease administration, real estate transaction management and lease accounting in a single workflow, giving real estate, operations, legal, finance and accounting teams a shared record of each lease. Real estate teams use it to centralize lease data, documents and obligations, receive automated alerts for renewals, terminations and rent escalations, and view portfolio dashboards covering footprint, spend and lease terms. Finance teams use it to generate lease liabilities, journal entries, amortization schedules and disclosure reports, with support for the ASC 842, IFRS 16, FRS 102 and GASB 87 standards.

The company positions the product as one system of record so that changes entered by a real estate team flow automatically into accounting records, reducing manual month-end work and audit discrepancies. Occupier also markets AI capabilities that read leases, structure the underlying details and surface key terms. Alongside the software, it sells professional services including lease abstraction, accounting implementation support, lease amendment support and lease audit services.

Founding story

The company was founded to address the difficulties tenants face managing commercial real estate, on the premise that tenants were using systems originally designed for landlords; Matt Giffune and Andrew Flint are identified as co-founders.

Business model

Software-as-a-service sold to commercial tenants, with optional professional services layered on top of the platform subscription.

Subscription pricing charged per lease and per module, with unlimited users and no per-seat fees; white-glove implementation is included and lease abstraction, amendment and audit services are available as paid add-ons.

Traction

More than 400 customers and over 100,000 leases managed on the platform; the company reported more than 130 customers around the time of its Series A in 2022.

Latest developments

In June 2025 Occupier announced a $16 million growth investment from Unbundled Capital, an Austin, Texas permanent capital firm, to expand product development, accelerate go-to-market and scale platform capabilities; Shane Skiffington joined the board as Executive Chairman.
