Invest in competitive advantage that knows no bounds

We assist with accounting activities necessary for SPVs of alternative funds on a large scale that can enhance the quality of financial information. As part of our Cascade Suite software, we can leverage the Accounting Hub for automated data analysis, which can help drive daily coverage of operations, acquisitions, and dispositions.

We offer scalable, automation-driven assistance with calculation and administrator oversight and perform what-if scenario forecasting around investment and fund performance. Additionally, we help prepare stakeholder reports on fees/waterfalls, performance, net asset value, capital accounts, and investor allocations.

We can help administer carry, coinvest, and compensation plans for fund managers using our automated administration platform. Our integrated participant portal in Cascade Suite allows our clients’ employees to track compensation and rewards, including executing new awards through DocuSign.

Portfolio valuation can be challenging and typically requires an in-depth understanding of the markets, the asset in question, the company and its competitors, and financial and nonfinancial information. Our valuation specialists can assist with all of these areas, particularly when investment managers require more rigorous and objective valuation of diverse or illiquid investments. 

We perform periodic asset-level valuations and analysis and assist entities to validate internal valuations using managed service and co-sourcing service models. Our valuation insights are delivered via ValueD™, a technology platform designed to change the valuation experience for clients.

We help calculate fund performance metrics (e.g., internal rate of return, multiples, ratios) for investor reporting and benchmarking. We look at your investments, investors, funds, and portfolios.

We can utilize our technology ecosystem to help automate investor and regulatory reporting to produce drafts of streamlined reporting packages of financial statements, disclosures, and supporting documents related to applicable accounting standards for management’s review and consideration.

We assist alternative investment fund managers in allocating their expenses. One feature of our Cascade Suite software includes a time entry portal with approvals to allow staff time allocations to be one basis for allocation. The portal can integrate with general ledgers to import expenses and track product profitability.

We help automate lease administration activities through abstraction of lease terms. In addition, we perform property statement analysis procedures to help drive greater efficiency in lease operations.

We help automate portfolio management and create efficiencies in the credit/underwriting process by leveraging our proprietary, low-code platform Surveillance Suite™. This technology can also help to perform complex borrowing base calculations, collateral monitoring (e.g., limited partner commitments, fund investments), relationship management, and analysis of aggregate risk exposures across various groupings.

We leverage our proprietary technology and leading tools to assist with your investment management reporting requirements, including:

• Form PF.
• AIFMD Annex IV.
• Ad hoc and supplemental reporting across the portfolio.

We uncover business insights using our Finance Technology platform to analyze financial and nonfinancial attributes from your various data sources. User-based dashboards and reporting capabilities can help drive decision-making and risk monitoring.

We assist to oversee reconciliation of key, defined financial elements in property reporting to identify potential adjustments.
