Control for fee billing

(Formerly Electra Billing)

Bring accuracy, speed and reduced risk to your fee billing operations

 

Investment managers often struggle with operational, audit and reputational risks inherent in error-prone and costly client fee billing processes. Many firms manage fee billing in spreadsheets or platforms that fall short on automation, integration and flexibility. As the complexity of portfolios increases, these outdated processes can have a negative impact on a firm’s bottom line, especially if inaccuracies result in fines, reputational damage and/or lost revenue.

As a controller, CFO, operations, compliance or billing manager, you know how imperative it is to efficiently and accurately manage revenue and cash flows securely, intuitively and dynamically to support business growth on a global scale.
