Accounting
Full-service fund administration, encompassing fund accounting, treasury services and investor services, is the cornerstone of Catalyst’s single source solution. We provide clients with independent fund administration services that deliver transparency, efficiency, and reporting excellence regardless of asset class.
By combining state of the art technology with a team of seasoned fund accountants, and our ‘concierge’ client service, we offer a market leading NAV reporting product that can be tailored to suit a range of intervals and valuation periods.
Catalyst’s corporate services offering provides a comprehensive range of middle and back-office services to investment managers, family offices, financial institutions, and corporate entities. This suite of complementary services supplements our core fund administration, fund accounting and financial statement preparation services by providing support for all of the routine tasks, ad-hoc activities, and compliance with the statutory obligations associated with maintaining a Cayman Islands or Delaware company in good standing.
These services are specifically designed to provide our clients with greater efficiency, reduced costs, increased procedural controls and a robust delivery framework.
Financial accounting is the final component of our single-source service solution. Designed to perfectly complement the fund administration, and corporate and fund services offerings, Catalyst’s highly experienced accounting team is able to facilitate core periodic accounting, financial statement preparation and audit support services for all types of investment vehicles.
AN EXPERIENCED PARTNER
Understanding our clients, their strategies and their markets is vital to our approach; we consider ourselves an extension of our clients' teams.
We have a wealth of experience across the investment management, private wealth, fund administration, and broader financial services landscape. This exposure to different aspects of the market has allowed us to design a comprehensive product suite that caters to a wide range of client types, alternative investment strategies, structures, and asset classes.
These services are powered and supported by an industry leading platform that has been tailored to deliver capabilities that are ground-breaking within the fund administration arena.
Digital Assets
Catalyst is a pioneer in the digital asset fund administration space. Our specialist digital asset team has created a proprietary platform to track and reconcile an expansive portfolio of coins, tokens, and digital assets, including Decentralized Finance (DeFi) products, in real-time. This has allowed us to provide our clients a robust and dynamic fund administration solution that encapsulates everything from periodic NAV production, portfolio accounting and reconciliation to AML/KYC Services, registered offices and investor services.

We do things differently.
We do things better.
WHAT DOES BETTER LOOK LIKE?
The world of investment, of managing money, and in some instances, the very concept of ‘money’ is evolving at a phenomenal pace. Yet our industry is saturated with legacy systems, manual processes, and fragmented client service experiences. Financial services firms are being outpaced by their clients, inhibiting their ability to innovate and deliver the investor experience they aspire to.
We’ve found the opportunity in the paradox.
We are creating a spark in the industry by embracing innovation, automation, and high-quality, personalized client experience to deliver a service that enables our clients to succeed in a multi-jurisdictional setting.
