aprovecharse de


Explanation:
to turn something to account is to make use of or obtain value from somrthing.

The equivalent in Spanish would be 'aprovecharse de' but another more 'financial' expression might be more appropriate. The fact is this is pure legalese, so perhaps the exact equivalent turn of phrase doesn't exists or is different in Spanish.

More than that i can't help you.
