Who we serve

Four situations, one underlying cause.

  • Emerging managers

    $50m – $300m

    Launched on spreadsheets and the PB portal. Institutional allocators are now asking operational due diligence questions you cannot answer from a workbook.

    What we deliver

    • Daily reconciled positions and cash
    • Exposure and risk pack for the IC
    • ODD-ready controls and audit trail
  • Multi-strategy funds

    $300m – $2bn

    Several strategies, several brokers, and a different sheet for each. Firm-level exposure requires a person to assemble it, so it is always a day late.

    What we deliver

    • Sleeve-level P&L and attribution
    • Cross-strategy exposure aggregation
    • Derivatives and financing modelled properly
  • Single-family offices

    Any size

    Assets across custodians, funds, direct deals, and real assets. Nobody can produce one consolidated balance sheet without weeks of manual work.

    What we deliver

    • Consolidated multi-entity balance sheet
    • Look-through into funds and SPVs
    • Capital call and liquidity forecasting
  • Multi-family offices

    10 – 200 households

    Client reporting is a monthly fire drill assembled by hand, and every new household adds linear operational cost.

    What we deliver

    • Templated household reporting at scale
    • Fee, billing, and performance calculation
    • Client portal or branded PDF delivery

By function

Every desk pulling from the same current.

Operations, IR, compliance, finance, and the investment team each get the view they need — all computed from one reconciled book of record, so no two teams ever quote different numbers.

Operations

Stop assembling the truth by hand every morning.

Custody, prime broker, and administrator files land automatically, get normalised, and reconcile themselves against the ledger before your team logs on. Breaks are surfaced with the underlying records attached, not as a difference on a summary line.

  • Automated multi-source ingestion and normalisation
  • Daily position, cash, and transaction reconciliation
  • Break queue with ageing, ownership, and resolution notes
  • Corporate actions, financing, and fee accruals modelled

Morning close measured in minutes, not hours.

Investor relations

Answer the allocator question the same day it arrives.

Investor-level capital, performance, and exposure come straight out of the book of record, so statements, tearsheets, and bespoke DDQ cuts are generated rather than rebuilt. Every figure sent out is traceable to the position that produced it.

  • Investor allocations, series, and side-letter terms
  • Templated monthly statements and tearsheets
  • Custom exposure and attribution cuts on request
  • Data room and consultant template population

Ad-hoc allocator requests answered in hours.

Compliance

Evidence that the control actually ran.

Mandate, concentration, restricted-list, and leverage rules are evaluated against live positions with the result stored, not just displayed. When a regulator or auditor asks what the book looked like on a given date, you reproduce it exactly.

  • Pre- and post-trade mandate and restriction checks
  • Immutable audit trail with effective-dated history
  • Personal account dealing and restricted-list workflow
  • Regulatory and ODD reporting extracts

Any prior day reproducible on demand.

Finance & accounting

A close that does not depend on one person.

Management and performance fee calculation, expense allocation, capital activity, and NAV build run as scheduled, reviewable steps. The administrator becomes a party you check against rather than a party you wait for.

  • Management and incentive fee calculation with crystallisation
  • Expense allocation and accrual schedules
  • Capital calls, distributions, and commitment tracking
  • Shadow NAV reconciled against the administrator

Month-end close cut from weeks to days.

Investment team

Exposure you trust enough to trade on.

Portfolio managers and analysts see current exposure, attribution, and risk against the same reconciled ledger that operations and finance use, with look-through into funds, SPVs, and derivatives instead of notional shortcuts.

  • Firm, strategy, and sleeve-level exposure aggregation
  • Attribution by sector, factor, geography, and instrument
  • Look-through into funds, SPVs, and structures
  • Scenario and stress views on live positions

One number, agreed across every desk.

Technology & data

Infrastructure that does not become your problem.

Everything runs on standard, well-documented components deployed in your own cloud accounts. Monitoring, upgrades, broken vendor feeds, and new instrument types are handled as part of the ongoing arrangement.

  • Version-controlled pipelines with automated testing
  • Monitoring, alerting, and data quality checks
  • Feed and format changes absorbed as they happen
  • Deployed in your cloud, under your access controls

No in-house data engineer required.

Engagement shapes

Three ways an engagement usually starts.

Every engagement begins with a paid two-week diagnostic, so scope and price are fixed before any build commitment is made.

Engagement A

First institutional build

You have no system of record. We build the data layer, book of record, and reporting from scratch, sized for where you will be in three years rather than three months.

Typical: 10–14 weeks to first live daily NAV.

Engagement B

Platform migration

You are leaving a vendor platform or an inherited internal system. We model the target state, migrate history with reconciliation proof, and run parallel until you sign off.

Typical: 12–20 weeks including parallel run.

Engagement C

Targeted repair

The core is fine but one seam leaks — reconciliation, private-market look-through, or LP reporting. We fix that seam and leave the rest alone.

Typical: 4–8 weeks, fixed scope.

Typical scenarios

What changes once the plumbing is fixed.

Illustrative examples of the problems we build against. Bring us your own setup and we will tell you plainly which of these it resembles.

Scenario · long/short equity

Nightly spreadsheet assembly replaced by a reconciled ledger

Prime broker and administrator files are ingested and reconciled automatically, so exposure is available before the open instead of being rebuilt by hand each evening.

Scenario · single-family office

One consolidated balance sheet across many entities

Multiple custodians, fund positions, and direct holdings unified into a single effective-dated record with look-through, so the quarterly close stops being an archaeology exercise.

Scenario · multi-family office

Client reporting reduced to a scheduled job

Statements generated straight from the book of record with fee and performance calculation built in, so reporting ships on a fixed business day rather than whenever the data is wrangled.
