Portfolio BPM for Private Equity Investors

BPM Analyst across the portfolio

Every company on one governed semantic layer, so revenue means the same thing everywhere. Each month signed off by a Fortivis analyst before it reaches you, covenants tracked against the actual facilities, and an AI analyst that answers why from the headline to the transaction.

Why PE monitoring breaks in Greek SMEs

You know the pattern: late closes, Excel chaos, numbers that don't reconcile. Portfolio companies absorb your time instead of creating value.

The reporting reality

  • Month-end closes on day 20+ with adjustments
  • Different COAs making consolidation impossible
  • Board packs manually rebuilt monthly
  • Numbers change after submission

FP&A doesn't exist

  • Static budgets obsolete by Q2
  • Variances explained, not actioned
  • No link between KPIs and value drivers
  • Scenario planning when crisis hits—too late

Cash blind spots

  • Working capital surprises every quarter
  • Covenant calculations in spreadsheets
  • No weekly cash visibility
  • Bank reporting inconsistent

myDATA & compliance risks

  • Audit surprises from poor documentation
  • Tax exposures discovered late
  • No portfolio-wide view
  • English translations unreliable

The day you invest, you buy a plan

BPM Analyst keeps that plan measurable every month, from entry to the day you sell.

What you get, every month

Measure.

Every company on one set of definitions, signed off each month by a Fortivis analyst and measured against plan. Covenants tracked against the actual facilities.

Understand.

When a company slips, you or the deal team ask why and get the answer in minutes, from the headline to the transaction, with the evidence.

Plan.

Each company's model is built with its management. What the month teaches goes back into the forecast, so the next board meeting starts from where the company is heading.

One portfolio company, as you would see it

Where the year is running against its budget, client by client, and your AI analyst answering on the same numbers. The company is the Dunder Mifflin demo company.
