Solutions
For investment managers
Give your LPs faster answers across all your operating partners.
Data arrives from each operator in a different format, on a different schedule, using a different chart of accounts. Every quarter you translate it into a view that still requires hours of audit before anything goes to investors.
Credence ingests every operator's financial packets into one normalized layer, so you produce portfolio- and fund-level reporting from a single source, with a traceable path behind every number.
Best fit
Investment managers and reporting teams who receive periodic financial packets from multiple operators and need aggregated reporting without being locked to each partner's format or methodology.
Credence normalizes all of your partners' data. Your team amends reports with business commentary and variance guidance.
The real cost
Distributed management breaks reporting every single period.
The aggregation pipeline gets rebuilt from scratch each time.
Seven operators. Seven formats. Seven COAs that do not match yours. Every quarter, someone on your team opens the same spreadsheet and starts translating - again. The work is not hard. It just should not exist.
Institutional CRE management is distributed. The investment manager is often beholden to the accounting systems their operating partners use, with limited visibility into or influence over the data pipeline. Partners provide periodic reports in different formats, classified into different charts of accounts, on unreliable schedules. Assembling a portfolio view requires manual transformation every single period. This connect-the-dots work steals time from your team and still results in numbers without a defensible provenance.
What would you do with 3 fewer days on close?
Most investment management teams that come to Credence are spending 5 or more days on consolidation every reporting cycle. Within one quarter on the platform, that time, and more, comes back as the normalization work compounds.
Walk us through your reporting cycleHow it works
One pipeline from partner files to defensible rollups.
Ingest
GL exports and report packets from your partners - in whatever format they come (Yardi, MRI, QuickBooks, Excel, etc.).
Normalize
Credence maps operator charts of accounts to one normalized, industry standard COA. You amend the map as needed.
Report
Portfolio- and fund-level reports generated automatically. You focus on review, not rework.
Trace
Clear audit trail from any aggregated figure back to its source. Surface inconsistencies before investor materials go out.
Share
Report with confidence. Give your investors the answers they need, in the form they expect.
Partner exports are ingested, normalized to a governed chart of accounts, rolled up to portfolio views, and traced back to source records, so you can answer any LP question on the spot.
What changes
Faster closes. Confident LP answers. Less siloed knowledge.
Close in days, not weeks No more reconciliation sprint across entities and COAs. The normalization work runs once and compounds.
Catch inconsistencies before LPs do Surface cross-partner anomalies and missing support before materials go out and LPs start asking questions.
Answer LP questions on the spot Every figure has a clear path to the underlying source. No chasing down emails or waiting on the operator for a one-off question.
Reporting that survives team changes When the person who knows "how we map that COA" leaves, the knowledge stays in the system.
Thinking ahead
Start with ingestion, grow into native feeds.
As your relationships with operating partners grow, Credence grows with you. Operating partners who adopt the full Credence accounting platform feed your aggregation layer directly with no export, no redundant mapping, and no reconciliation between systems.
Start with low friction and expand when the organization is ready. The ingestion layer is valuable on its own and gets stronger as more of the stack lives on Credence. Expanding the workflow aligns the interests of operators and property managers, so capital events, rent rolls, and contracts roll right into the full reporting stack.

We're here to help.
Your questions, answered.
No. You ingest what partners already send: GL exports, report packets, spreadsheets.
Normalization and traceability apply to whatever you receive today.
When a partner runs operations on Credence, you can forego all export-and-map work.
You set the rhythm to match your reporting calendar. The point is repeatable ingest
each period so portfolio rollups are systematic, not a one-off project.
Credence maintains the industry best practice COA and automatically maps your COAs upon first ingestion.
At the end of the day, your team owns the mapping rules. When a partner’s export changes,
you update mappings in one place so portfolio reporting stays consistent.
Aggregated fund and portfolio figures retain pointers to the source financial lines that fed them.
When an LP asks “where did this number come from?”, you answer from the system rather than
from a folder full of saved files.
