Industry Expertise / Alternative Asset Service Providers

Fund Administrators

As alternative asset firms have grown in complexity, so too have their systems. To keep up with change and increase market share, fund administrators must customize their IT offerings to allow them to better support managers with multiple asset classes, strategies and business needs. There is no such thing as a “one size fits all” solution.

FinServ provides IT consulting and systems integration for fund administrators, broadening their service provision to funds with complicated business needs resulting from dealing in multiple asset classes, jurisdictions and strategies. We equip administrators in offering clients specialized fund accounting, valuation, cash flow analysis, redemption management, compensation and compliance services. FinServ facilitates seamless integration between the administrator and its clients, to streamline information flow and improve overall service.

FinServ has the unique experience of sitting shoulder to shoulder with some of the largest and well-known alternative asset managers as they have built their businesses and systems. We hear what our clients like, and dislike, about their administrators and software packages. In addition, FinServ has been responsible for integrating the majority of the systems utilized in the alternative asset management space.

Software Vendors

Many software vendors in the alternative asset management space have focused their attention on creating the best possible product to meet their client’s needs. These firms are staffed with the most talented software developers and creative thinkers in the industry.

FinServ complements these talents with a set of proven implementation methodologies and experienced project managers with specific business expertise. We are able to augment a software vendor’s teams with critical project management skills, overcoming the challenge of software implementations being completed on time and on budget -- ensuring a referenceable client for future software sales.

FinServ further differentiates itself from the typical boutique consulting firm that may specialize in only one piece of software or vertical in the industry. Because FinServ understands the entire industry, including all fund types and processes from front, to middle and back office, we can provide software vendors the keys to critical integrations to or from their software products.

FinServ Consulting has the industry-specific knowledge complemented by strong and rigorous methodologies to ensure software is integrated correctly and efficiently, allowing developers to focus on product enhancements rather than time-consuming implementations.
