The problem

Where deal execution breaks down

Every complex transaction carries the same hidden risk. Stakeholders work in parallel, each reconciling their own numbers against everyone else's, dozens of Excel versions circulate by email, and rarely is there a single thread holding it all together.

Tax advisor

Can miss entity by entity cashflow gaps when weighing the structuring options.

Treasury

High error exposure on FX conversions and back to back transfers, where not one cent can be missed.

Legal team

Version misalignment compounds with every pass, turning cap table finalisation into a struggle.

Accountant

Reconstructs the deal weeks later to book the transaction and reconcile the bank.

Deal team

Carries the most pressure, accountable for making everything reconcile at the end.

Nearly every closed transaction has an almost crashed moment, saved only by an all nighter, extra hours, or both.

Why we built FundsFlow

A better model, not another tool.

We have watched the pattern play out. A missing FX buffer nearly derailed a closing the morning it was due. A non cash consideration misclassified as cash had already triggered an unnecessary bank loan before anyone noticed.

The pattern never changed, and the answer was never a new piece of software. It was a better model. So we built one. Across more than two hundred closings we worked alongside our clients to rebuild every deal closing requirement into a single live model that carries every close output, for every stakeholder.

“One live model. One input point. One source of truth.”

One modelEvery stakeholderZero ambiguity at close

Scope of services

One model. Every output.

The market's funds flow stops at a Sources and Uses table and a list of payments. Ours takes the deal's own documents as inputs and models every close output that each stakeholder needs, all from a single source.

Credential case study

Clean close, complex structure.

Deal

€2.3 billion PE acquisition

Structure

Complex multi party share exchange

Result

40 to 50 senior hours saved

The hidden structural friction

The transaction included a legal step for the target's shareholders reinvesting into the fund's BidCo entity on a share for share exchange. The target's fair market value was locked into the sale price for reinvestors, while the BidCo share price depended dynamically on the value of shares issued right before the reinvestment. That triggered a decision on the point of exchange, and later the fractional share and rounding issues that a standard funds flow never includes.

The value of trusted coordination

Because FundsFlow held the share exchange mechanics in one live model, these compounding discrepancies were surfaced, quantified and presented in decision ready form, preventing an execution failure and the compliance exposure that would have followed at the legal drafting stage. In the client's own estimate, it saved 40 to 50 hours of their senior consultant's time.

Questions we hear before a first deal

How quickly can a model be running?

A working FundsFlow model is up and running within three to four working days of receiving the Tax Structuring Memo and the Share Purchase Agreement, and each change from there is just in time.

Which platforms do you work on?

Google Sheets, Microsoft Live or SharePoint, whichever suits your environment, with role based, need to know access so every party sees only what is relevant to them.

How do you charge?

The commercial terms are your choice, whether a one time fixed fee, an hourly rate for tight fee control, or a monthly retainer regardless of volume.

Do you replace our lawyers, tax advisors or fund administrator?

No. FundsFlow coordinates rather than competes. We sit alongside your existing advisers and Big 4 teams and hold the numbers everyone relies on in one place.

How is our data kept secure?

Access is role based and aligned to each stakeholder's involvement, the model is configured to support GDPR and applicable confidentiality and data protection requirements, and the audit trail is locked and timestamped, sealed at close and ready for review.
