Nataliya Laypa

Director, Accounting and Finance

Nataliya’s primary objectives are to make sure Southstar stays financially agile, able to act on new opportunities in an ever-evolving environment. She also ensures that our development projects have the resources they need to fulfill their vision and that stakeholders have the information they need to allow for data-driven decision making. To make all this happen, Nataliya is on a never-ending mission to optimize processes, enhancing efficiency and transparency. And to foster relationships that lead to new strategic partnerships and secure the most favorable financial terms. Early in her long-established career in public accounting, Nataliya spent a decade working for one of the largest accounting firms in the nation. Just prior to joining us here at Southstar, she was at a well-known San Antonio CPA firm. What excites Nataliya about this new chapter in her career is the opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of how real estate development can serve a broad range of interests. With Nataliya having been born in Ukraine and then living in Michigan, Illinois, Texas and Colorado, we’re not quite sure how she made her way to Texas. But we’re grateful that she did.
