FOR FUND FINANCE AND GP SOLUTIONS
Stop running your book on people and spreadsheets.
centerbeam consolidates your fragmented data into one AI-ready system of record, so you can run your entire book from one place, inside your own environment.
No code. Live in weeks.
The problem
Fragmented at the source. Disconnected by design. Reassembled manually.
What arrives
No two sources alike. Few arrive clean.
What the firm runs
Bought or built. Each one a silo.
People & spreadsheetsWhere messy data meets rigid systems. The gap widens every quarter.
- Market data
- Cash activity
- Administrator reports
- Agent notices
- Borrower & GP reporting
- Legal agreements
- Loan and investment administration
- Portfolio monitoring
- Credit and risk reporting
- Investor reporting
- Entity management
- Accounting
Why it's still unsolved
Every deal is different. Analysts connect it all by hand.
Agreements define the rules. Sponsors send PDFs and spreadsheets. People connect what the agreement says, what the sponsor sends, and what the systems record.
Numbers don’t agree.
Reports are rebuilt by hand. Exposure questions take days.
Risk is hard to see.
Triggers get missed, and numbers don’t trace back to their source.
Growth depends on people.
Every new facility adds work. When an analyst leaves, knowledge leaves too.
Until now, two options
Centerbeam: the fit of a custom build, at the speed of buying software.
How it works
Configured, not coded.
Live in weeks, not a year-long implementation, and every change after that is an edit, not a project.
Configure your book.
We start with how your book actually runs: the side letters, the deals that don't fit, who approves what. Then we configure around it, alongside the systems you already use.
It fits your book.
Every deal modelled exactly as its agreement reads, outliers included.
Weeks, not a project.
No code, no consultants, no year-long rollout.
Yours to change.
Your team handles new deals and amendments directly, with every change on record.
The value unlock
What changes when the whole book lives in one place.
See every deal, fund and investor as of any date, on one screen.
Capture borrower and manager reporting the day it lands, not the week after.
Answer any question about your book on the spot, whoever is asking.
Close quarter-end and send every report without the spreadsheet scramble.
Move every review and sign-off through the system, not your inbox.
Defend any number years later: its source, its history, who approved it.
Why centerbeam
Built for firms where one wrong number is one too many.
Fast has always meant fitting someone else's template. Yours has always meant waiting on engineers. Configuration ends that trade-off.
Made for complexity.
Deterministic.

Security & trust
Governed by design.
Your own instance.
A dedicated instance, database and storage, in your own environment. Nothing is shared with another firm.
Your org chart, enforced.
Define roles around your firm’s permissions. Changes take effect instantly.
Nothing changes without a trace.
Every value is versioned and every action is logged. Any report reproduces exactly as of any date.
Every input, verified.
Data is validated against your rules on arrival. What fails is held for review, never loaded quietly.
WHY THIS EXISTS
Every build-or-buy decision I faced ended in a build.
Khalid Al-Masri, Founder
For years I ran operational infrastructure for a multi-billion-dollar fund finance platform. Data arrived from ten sources in ten formats, and the deals never stopped changing. Nothing on the market could handle that complexity, so I ended up building the systems myself. It worked, but it took years and a team most firms don't have.
Centerbeam is the third option I never had.
Before you ask
The questions we hear first.
What finance and operations leaders ask before anything else. Anything we missed, bring to the first call.
Request a demoIt stays. The systems that produce your numbers — and the counterparties that send them — keep doing what they do. centerbeam takes what they send you and holds the one record your firm actually operates on. Today that record doesn't exist anywhere. It's assembled by hand every month from their outputs — statements, notices, extracts — in spreadsheets that nobody fully trusts. centerbeam is where those outputs land, get checked against each other, and become numbers your reports, workflows and close run from. Nothing gets ripped out. The month-end assembly job disappears.
Your administrator maintains the book of record for the fund: NAV, capital accounts, investor allocations, audit. Their system, their timeline, their processes. But the fund's books and the manager's record are two different things. The administrator accounts for each fund; your firm operates across all of them — the positions, counterparties, documents, approvals and deadlines that are yours whichever vehicle holds them. That record lives in spreadsheets, inboxes and people's heads, and it's rebuilt every time the administrator's numbers and yours need to agree. centerbeam is the manager's record. The administrator's output is one of its inputs, checked against everything else — and when the two differ, you see it the day it happens, not at the next close.
Each client runs in its own isolated environment with a dedicated server, database, and private storage: never pooled with other clients, never routed through a shared platform, so there is nothing to leak across. Every request passes through a zero-trust gateway that checks who's asking and what they're allowed to see, down to the individual record. There is no master key that skips that check. Not for your administrators, and not for us. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Every change is kept as a dated, attributed version; nothing is ever overwritten, and the audit trail can't be edited after the fact.
You describe your firm, and the platform takes its shape. Nothing is hard-coded underneath: nothing assumes what a fund, investment, facility, or counterparty looks like until you say so. You define the record in your own terms: what you track, how it relates, what's calculated from it and who approves what. The side letter with its own fee basis. The facility with three tranches that share one borrowing base but carry different advance rates. The borrowing base whose concentration limits step down after year two. These aren't exceptions to work around; they're fields and rules you add once. From then on, everything downstream (reports, workflows, schedules, the audit trail) already knows about them.
Once your record is defined, history loads through the same door as everything else — prior positions, transactions and period-end figures, from your existing extracts and spreadsheets, checked and approved like any other file. And it loads as of when it happened, not when you loaded it. A March 2023 position is recorded as of March 2023, so from day one you can reconstruct any prior state, on any date, exactly as it stood in your record. How far back is a decision, not a limit.
