Specialty Finance

Credit operations move faster than the systems underneath them.

Lending workflows, portfolio monitoring, and reporting infrastructure for non-bank lenders, built by people who have worked inside credit operations.

Where the work backs up

The gap between a decision and a system of record.

01

Application to funding spanning disconnected tools

An origination platform, a document portal, a spreadsheet model, an email approval, and a funding instruction in a separate system. The file moves, but nothing holds the whole path, so status is a question somebody has to answer rather than a field somebody can read.

02

Covenant and portfolio monitoring in spreadsheets

Tests run monthly by hand against statements that arrive in a dozen formats. A breach is found on the cycle after it happened, and the workbook that found it is the only place the logic is written down.

03

Investor and lender reporting cycles

Borrowing base certificates, waterfall calculations, and performance packages rebuilt each period from the same sources. The deadline is fixed, the inputs are late, and the work happens in the compressed days between.

04

Servicing data that will not reconcile

Payments, fees, and balances that disagree between the servicing system, the general ledger, and the investor report. Each is defensible on its own terms, which is what makes the difference so expensive to resolve.

What we build

Three practices, applied to the credit lifecycle.

01

Automation and workflow engineering

Application-to-funding as one tracked path across the tools you already run, with stage gates, document collection, and conditions cleared against a record instead of an inbox. Covenant tests executed on schedule with exceptions raised the day they occur.

02

Data intelligence and analytics

A governed store for servicing, collateral, and performance data, feeding portfolio, vintage, and delinquency views. Every figure in an investor package traces back to the record it came from, which is what makes a reporting cycle repeatable.

03

Systems integration and API connectivity

Origination, servicing, accounting, and reporting connected so a payment posts once and appears correctly everywhere. Migration off the point-to-point connections that were built quickly and have been fragile since.

A first engagement

Where this usually starts.

One process, scoped and built, chosen because it de-risks the rest. Not a program.

01

One stage of application to funding

Made a tracked record rather than an inbox thread. Normally the stage where files sit longest, which the assessment identifies rather than assumes.

02

Covenant and portfolio tests on a schedule

Executed automatically against the statements you already receive, with exceptions raised the day they occur instead of the cycle after.

03

The servicing to ledger reconciliation

The difference that makes every investor and lender report expensive to produce, resolved at the source rather than in the reporting layer.

How we engage

Four gates, and a fixed scope before any build starts.

Every engagement moves through discovery and assessment, solution architecture, build and implementation, and optional managed operations. Scope and cost are fixed before any build starts, and delivery is measured against the process it replaces.

The first gate stands on its own. Discovery ranks the opportunities in front of you by effort and impact, so you can see what the work is worth before committing to it. The full method is set out on the services page.

Start with the reporting cycle that consumes your month.

A conversation first. A structured assessment when it earns one.
