Background
- A leading US-based private markets manager was looking for support in setting up a robust financial reporting process that reduced turnaround time and enhanced reporting insights.
- The reporting coverage included capturing revenue and capital financials metrics, realizations, deployment, commitment and fundraising.
Solution
- Project planning: Calendar set up with time schedule, planned activities, and outlined pre-cycle and earnings period milestones.
- Model preparation: Identification of new funds and reclassifications prior to earnings period; and roll-forward of models, ready for data refresh
- Review methodology: Introduced checks within the model to flag differences post data refresh, enabling easier data reconciliation
- Market review: Economic situation assessment and study of any impact on financials performance
- Insightful presentation: Performance summaries, with key metrics coverage such as realizations, top deployments, carry values, default rates and return stats.
Impact
- 12 financials metrics coverage for 200 funds, across 4 strategies, for current quarter, year-to-date and prior period comparison.
- 30-40% efficiency by faster turnaround of earnings materials; management review made possible within 2-3 days as compared to earlier 5-6 days.
- Only 30% onshore bandwidth requirement, primarily focused on final review of the material, and ensuring alignment with quarter-based events
- Enhanced insights with presentable visualization and readable commentaries
