Financial data ingestion and reconciliation
Ingestion from portfolios, loan tapes, trustees, servicers, brokers, administrators, internal systems and spreadsheets; normalisation, matching, break identification and controlled resolution.
Financial Services
Financial-services technology built for control, evidence and operational resilience.
Connected Intelligence designs data and workflow systems for firms where every exception, calculation, decision and change must be explainable.
We modernise financial operations without weakening the controls on which the business depends.
Control is not a layer added at the end
Financial software must do more than produce the right answer. It must show which data was used, which rule applied, which version was in force, who reviewed an exception and how the final decision was reached.
That requirement changes the architecture, data model, workflow and testing approach from the beginning.
Financial teams often continue to rely on spreadsheets because spreadsheets are flexible and inspectable. The difficulty is uncontrolled logic, duplicated data, weak change records and repeated manual reconciliation.
We preserve the transparency users value while introducing stronger data structures, controlled rules, workflow and evidence.
Where we help
Compliance and rule-based testing
Versioned rule engines, coverage and concentration tests, eligibility assessments, policy validation, exception management and evidence-backed review.
Operational workflow and case management
Maker-checker processes, review queues, approvals, escalation, complaints and redress workflows, client servicing and operational task management.
Document intelligence
Source-backed extraction of terms, clauses, obligations and evidence from agreements, policies, reports and other unstructured documents.
Scenario analysis and decision support
What-if analysis, portfolio and operational scenarios, calculation engines, management information and decision-support views.
Operational resilience and assurance
Systems supporting service mapping, dependency records, impact-tolerance evidence, scenario testing, incident and remediation workflows, third-party oversight and board reporting.
Client and intermediary platforms
Client, broker, adviser and partner portals with controlled access, data exchange, documentation, workflow and management information.
A financial control model made explicit
- Field-level source lineage and data ownership
- Deterministic calculations where exactness is required
- Versioned rules, assumptions and reference data
- Reconciliation status and break ownership
- Materiality and exception categorisation
- Maker-checker and segregation of duties
- Complete review, approval and change histories
- Role-based access and tenant or client-data isolation
- Repeatable test packs using representative and edge cases
- Controlled release, rollback and production change
- Exportable evidence for internal and external review
The aim is to make the necessary control activity more reliable, visible and efficient.
AI in regulated workflows
AI can assist with document ingestion, classification, clause extraction, search, review and the preparation of evidence. It can also support triage and identify unusual patterns in operational data.
It should not obscure the basis of a decision.
We design bounded use cases, approved sources, confidence thresholds, human review, benchmarked evaluation and release controls. Calculations and final control decisions remain deterministic where they should.
Selected product
CalcBridge
CalcBridge is Connected Intelligence’s controlled platform for collateralised loan obligation compliance and operational review.
It is being developed to connect deal documents, trustee, servicer and portfolio data, calculations, coverage and concentration tests, exceptions, scenario analysis and review evidence within one traceable workflow.
The underlying approach is applicable well beyond CLOs: wherever financial teams reconcile multiple sources, interpret documented rules and need to evidence a high-consequence decision.
Typical requirements
- Replace a material spreadsheet-led control with a governed application
- Reconcile data across front-, middle- and back-office sources
- Automate compliance tests while retaining review authority
- Create a source-backed document-to-data pipeline
- Improve complaints, redress or Consumer Duty evidence workflows
- Build operational MI that can be traced to source
- Support operational-resilience mapping, testing and remediation
- Integrate acquisition, broker, client or portfolio data
- Build a secure client or intermediary portal
- Introduce AI into a professional workflow with an explicit assurance model
Built for the people accountable
We work with asset and investment managers, lenders, financial intermediaries, administrators, specialist finance providers and regulated firms with complex operational data.
Typical sponsors include chief operating officers, operations directors, chief technology and data officers, compliance and risk leaders, heads of change, investment operations teams and product owners.
Modernise the workflow without losing the control.
Bring us the reconciliation, rule, document or operational process that is important to the business but difficult to run safely through the present systems.
