AVAIO Digital Appoints Matt Cox as Vice President of Construction Accounting

In an exciting development for the future of construction accounting, AVAIO Digital, a pioneering force in sustainable data centers, has announced the appointment of Matt Cox, CPA, as their new Vice President of Construction Accounting. With a robust background that spans over ten years in real estate development finance and project accounting, Cox is set to significantly bolster AVAIO's financial operations as it expands its global portfolio of hyperscale data centers.

A Wealth of Experience

Cox joins AVAIO Digital after a successful tenure at Brookfield Properties, where he played a crucial role in establishing and leading their accounting department. Under his leadership, the accounting function evolved from a fledgling operation into a full-fledged team of seven, marked by the creation of vital processes, controls, and reporting frameworks.

His reputation for meticulous financial planning and management was solidified through his partnership with financial planning and analysis (FP&A) teams and senior management on quarterly forecasts and strategic business initiatives. Managing a staggering $6.6 billion portfolio, Matt was instrumental in coordinating capital calls and distributions, ensuring that funding and cash flow remained disciplined across multiple complex projects.

Before his time at Brookfield, Cox honed his skills at Wood Partners as a Senior Accountant, where he oversaw the financial aspects of multifamily development projects across several states, including Arizona, Southern California, and the Pacific Northwest. His earlier career began at EY, where he operated as an Assurance Associate, once again focusing on financial audits across diverse industries, including real estate and energy.

Strategic Leadership at AVAIO Digital

In his new capacity at AVAIO Digital, Cox will spearhead the project accounting function, ensuring enhanced financial visibility and rigorous controls across their growing portfolio. This strategic leadership is crucial as AVAIO ventures into new development territories and scales its operation.

Mark McComiskey, CEO of AVAIO Digital, expressed enthusiasm about Cox’s appointment, stating, “Matt's experience in building effective accounting functions for complex and expansive real estate portfolios aligns perfectly with our growth trajectory. His financial expertise will be vital in delivering capacity to our customers across various campuses.”

Cox himself conveyed his excitement to join the AVAIO team, stating, “I'm looking forward to contributing to AVAIO’s next growth phase and developing robust financial infrastructures that support the company's objectives.”

Academic Background and Credentials

Cox holds both a Master of Accountancy and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and International Business from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Additionally, he is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), credentials that reflect his depth of knowledge and professional commitment to accounting excellence.
