Private Equity/Holding Companies

As a private equity firm, you understand that accurate financial planning analysis is essential to success. However, if your current software solutions are causing more problems than they solve, it’s time to consider a change. Many firms face common issues such as inflexibility, limited capabilities, poor data management, and security risks. If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to look for a new solution or upgrade your existing software solution to ensure your firm is operating at its full potential.

Here are some of the most common issues private equity firms face with their software for financial planning analysis:

1. Inflexibility: If your software is rigid and unable to adapt to changes in the industry or your specific needs, it can hinder your ability to provide the best service possible to your clients.
2. Limited capabilities: If your software lacks important features or integrations, it can make your work more difficult and prevent you from offering the level of service your clients expect.
3. Poor data management: If your software is difficult to use or doesn’t provide accurate data, it can lead to errors, delays, and missed opportunities.
4. Security risks: If your software doesn’t have robust security features, it can put your firm and your clients’ sensitive information at risk.
5. Different systems in use by subsidiaries: You may have trouble reconciling data and need large amounts of time and manpower to get accurate information from multiple systems used by entities under your umbrella. A standardized system would improve time to collect data and report accurate results.
6. Dealing with Owner reporting can be complex and having tried and true processes to show a controlled consolidation, produce results consistently, timely, and reliable financials is paramount.
7. Selecting the right application that meets multiple workflows can be essential in an acquisitive PE based organization where change is constant, and multiple ERP’s are a given.  A tool that provides robust functionality in close management, consolidation, reporting & planning activities becomes a “have to have” not a “nice to have”
