Investment Banking & Deal Accounting

Deal accounting, fee tracking, fund administration, and compliance reporting — built for the pace and precision of investment banking.

Industry Challenges

Pain Points We Solve

Complex Deal Accounting

M&A advisory fees, underwriting revenue, and syndication income each with unique recognition rules. Manual tracking across deal stages is error-prone.

Slow Fee Reconciliation

Advisory fees, success fees, and retainers tracked in spreadsheets. Revenue recognition tied to deal milestones with no automated triggers.

Regulatory Compliance Load

FCA, SEC, and MiFID II requirements demand audit trails, conflict checks, and capital adequacy reporting that manual processes cannot reliably deliver.

Pipeline Visibility Gaps

Deal pipeline, fee forecasting, and banker productivity metrics assembled manually. No real-time view of expected revenue or resource utilisation.
