For PE-backed roll-ups and portfolio companies
Cash forecasts. Valuations. Reporting. Across your portfolio.
In Project Falcon, financial planning and analysis (FP&A) saved about 1.5 hours per week per portfolio company. We build cash forecasts, live three-statement and valuation models, and sponsor and bank reporting around your companies’ books, with scope and validation agreed for your group.
Free, 20 minutes. For accounting and CAS firm owners. No access or install.
One set of actuals for the sponsor’s next question.
The sponsor wants cash visibility, current valuations and reporting it can use. Each portfolio company has its own chart of accounts, calendar and reporting requirements. Exporting those actuals into separate models and packages adds repeated preparation before the analysis starts.
We connect accounting and FP&A around those books. Selected workflows and connections are scoped, built and validated for your group. Your team sets the assumptions, reporting requirements and who can approve changes to the books.
Built around each companyDifferent charts of accounts, bank feeds and reporting calendars need agreed mappings and checks. We define those before the data feeds a forecast, model or reporting package.
A 13-week cash forecast per company.
Connect forecasts to ledger and bank activity, reconcile them weekly, and update assumptions as actual activity changes. Finance can review and override assumptions for each company.
Monthly valuations from live GL data.
Maintain three-statement and valuation models with your team’s assumptions. Use researched industry transaction comparables to inform valuation projections, without another Excel data dump.
Sponsor and bank reporting.
Generate financial statements, sponsor packages and bank covenant schedules from closed actuals. Agree each package’s formats, covenant definitions and review requirements as part of the scope.
Accounting and finance, in one platform.
Accounting closes the month. Finance uses those actuals for forecasts, models and reporting, with fewer exports and handoffs between the two teams.
Forecasts, valuations and reports from the same books.
Choose the workflows your group needs. Your engagement defines which ones we build and validate, using each company’s books, assumptions and reporting requirements. A person you name approves anything that reaches the books.
Only what you needAgree the selected workflows and connections before the build. The first close and later FP&A work each have their own scope and validation.

Thirteen weeks of cash, per portfolio company
Use open bills and invoices, bank activity and recurring payments to maintain a 13-week cash forecast for each company. Reconcile it against the general ledger and bank weekly. Agents update payment assumptions from actual activity; finance can review and override them when it knows something the books do not.
A forecast that updates from actual activity, with assumptions finance can review.
-
Three-statement models and monthly valuations
Feed live general ledger data into the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow model, using your team’s assumptions. Research recent industry transactions to inform valuation projections and track valuations across the portfolio each month without exporting the books to Excel.
The valuation models and the books start from the same actuals.
-
Financial, sponsor and bank covenant reporting
Generate financial statements, sponsor reporting packages and bank covenant schedules from closed actuals in the same platform. Set the formats, definitions and review requirements for each company. Your team reviews the agreed package before it goes to the sponsor or lender.
Accounting closes the month. Finance generates and reviews the reports.
-
A close dashboard
A checklist for each period, with due dates and what depends on what. Each task has a named preparer. The list checks itself against the live books. When the period closes, it locks.
The close stops being a workbook one person carries. It becomes a process you can see.
-
Loan terms, checked between report dates
Configure each facility’s covenant definitions and account mappings against the company’s books. Run the agreed calculations between report dates, with headroom and flags for your team to review. The scope sets the definitions, adjustments and evidence those checks need.
Review covenant headroom between reporting dates.
-
Bringing a new firm on
When you buy a firm, its accounts, its calendar and its setup are planned from its own books. You review the plan. Then it is applied. No one sets it up by hand from the last one.
A repeatable onboarding plan, built from the new company’s own books.
-
The PBC list and the evidence file
Audit and diligence requests are tracked as lines. Each line has its evidence bound to it. Ask for the binder and it is put together on demand.
The PBC list is no longer an email thread. Forty files, and a spreadsheet no one owns.
-
All open work, in one view
Done, left to do, blocked, and who owns it. One view, without copying a single source row. From it, a handoff pack is built. It carries the blockers, the missing evidence, stale conclusions and the decisions still owed.
Someone quits, takes a week off, or a stand-in controller steps in. It is no longer a rebuild job.
Each selected workflow is configured against your companies’ own books, calendars, charts of accounts, thresholds and approval rules. Scope and validation are agreed before live use.
AI drafts. Code checks. A person you name says yes.
One rule holds across every job above. The AI reads, sorts, drafts and proposes. Plain code does the sums and the checks. A person you name approves anything that reaches the books. Nothing posts on its own. There is no setting that turns that on.
Why this mattersIf you cannot show how a number was made, you end up defending it by hand. The proof is the product.
- Four levels of risk
- Every action gets a risk level. If it touches the books or a customer, a person must say yes first. If the system does not know an action, it treats it as the riskiest kind.
- Two people, two jobs
- The one who prepares is never the one who approves. You set who can approve what, per firm and per amount.
- Plain proposals
- Before, after, the source, the risk, who must approve, and when it expires. All on one screen.
- One record
- The prompt, the run, each step, the proposal, the yes or no, and the post. One chain. You can walk it backwards.
- A circuit breaker
- If a task starts to get things wrong, the system takes away that task’s freedom and tells you. It can only step down. It can never step itself up.
- Answers show their source
- Every answer says the period, the basis, the source, and when the data was synced. If it could not check a thing, it says so.
What changed for FP&A in Project Falcon.
In Project Falcon, FP&A saved about 1.5 hours per week per portfolio company. The team automated its 13-week cash forecast, maintained three-statement and valuation models from live GL data, and generated financial and bank covenant reports in one platform. Accounting also closed the books about 40% faster within 60 days. The case study shows how the work changed and the five rules that came first. Four of those controls were checked against the source code, not a slide deck.
A case study is not a promise for your group. We still look at your close, your controls and your baseline before a build starts.

Each rung stands on its own. Nothing commits you to the next one. You keep the code.
