Valence

Disrupting the antiquated workflows plaguing fund administration.

Valence, powered by Vector, is our proprietary, cloud-based platform that is revolutionizing fund administration. Created by industry experts, our platform is shifting the way teams work by vastly improving historical fund accounting processes.

We believe software made to replace accountants is flawed; our approach is to develop software that enhances the service-first model.

Valence is designed to:

  • Streamline the work done by our staff to eliminate burdensome, Excel-based processes and reduce burnout and incidents of human error;

  • Utilize a general ledger as the single source of truth, honoring the fundamental rule of database management –to leverage accounting data versus duplicating efforts;

  • Reduce friction between stakeholders by providing access to data through an intuitive and nimble platform; and

  • Allow for complex reporting that has historically been prohibitively difficult to accomplish using existing applications or Excel-based processes.

We give our clients access to accurate data and untapped reporting functionality – all while delivering the exceptional service expected from your fund administrator.
