Data, Reporting & Controls
Every report a client, board or investor receives should trace to one reconciled record.
Overview
When the investment book of record, the accounting book of record and the custodian disagree, every report becomes rework: client statements checked by hand, board packs assembled from competing versions, and regulatory reports built from extracts nobody fully owns. The cost sits in operations, and the doubt sits with everyone who reads the numbers.
We build the single reconciled record that reporting depends on: fund accounting and custody integrated with the investment platform, ownership and lineage assigned for investment and client data, and reconciliation and control routines built into the daily process rather than run at month end. Client, investor, board and regulatory reporting are then produced from that one governed dataset. Delivered work includes a private-wealth operating-model rebuild that reduced reconciliation breaks by 58%.
We work with COOs, heads of investment operations and heads of data at asset managers and wealth businesses. Engagements run from fixing a single reporting chain to building the data ownership, controls and reporting architecture for the whole estate.
What we do
Every important number gets an owner and a traceable path: which system it originates in, what transforms it, and where it is consumed. We assign ownership with the business, document lineage where it matters, and set quality standards that are measured rather than asserted.
We build reconciliation between the investment record, the accounting record and the custodian into the daily process, with breaks surfaced and owned the day they occur. Delivered work includes a wealth operating-model rebuild that reduced reconciliation breaks by 58%.
The accounting record and the custodian's record are integrated with the investment platform so the three views align by design. We define which system owns each element — positions, cash, NAV — and build the interfaces and checks that keep them aligned as products and volumes grow.
Statements, valuations and performance reports are produced from the governed dataset on a dependable cycle. The number a client sees matches the ledger and the custodian, and the reporting team's work shifts from assembling and correcting to reviewing and releasing.
Regulatory reports, board packs and investor summaries are treated as standing outputs of the same reconciled record, each with a defined owner, source and schedule. When the underlying data is right once, every reporting category draws on it rather than rebuilding it.
With one governed dataset in place, management reporting and analytics stop being a separate industry. We build the flows, costs and performance views executives actually use, drawn from the same record that produces the client and board numbers.
What to expect
The first weeks take one reporting chain — a client statement, a board pack, a regulatory return — and trace every number back to its source. That shows where the record diverges, where the manual correction sits, and what to fix first. Delivery then builds the reconciled record and moves reporting onto it chain by chain, with the improvement measured in breaks and hours each cycle. A Capmark principal leads throughout.
