one record, four readers

Fund it, build it, book it — on one set of numbers.

Investment management, construction and accounting in one place, not three. One set of numbers, whoever is asking — the sponsor, the team on site, or the people who funded it.

three doors, one set of records

Investment management, construction and the books, on one set of numbers.

Whichever one you start in, the others are already reading the same records.

the funder's door

Fi Invest

principals and investor relations

Deals, capital and what the funders see.

Investor and lender rooms for the people who funded it

Investors get positions, statements, transactions and onboarding, signed and funded without an email chain. Lenders get the draw package with its backup, in a room you control.

the project's door

Fi Build

project managers and owner’s representatives

Cost, change and the team on site.

The project team for general contractors, subcontractors and consultants

RFIs answered in a thread rather than a mail chain, change orders sent for signature, and every response landing back against the budget line it affects.

the vendor's door

Fi Book

controllers and bookkeepers

Payables, reconciliation and the statements behind both.

Vendor Portal for vendors and subcontractors

Their own statement and payment status, so the question about an unpaid invoice is answered without reaching you.

how it worksfive stages

intake to books

What happens between a document arriving and the books being right.

Five stages, in one direction.

intake
email · every 2 minSharePointGoogle DriveSlackbank feedvendor portalone record,read and checked
six inboxes, not one drop zone

Work arrives from the places it already lands.

Email is polled every two minutes. SharePoint channels, the Drive mirror, Slack threads, the bank feed and vendors uploading to their own portal all arrive the same way. Six inboxes watched, not one drop zone.

reading

twenty-two workers, six groups

Every document is read and checked against the books.

Classification, field and line extraction, five OCR backends, orientation, vendor resolution and cost coding — twenty-two workers in six groups. Bank transactions are matched against ledger lines, invoices, commitments and cash events.

three things that leave

What leaves the building is assembled from the same records.

Rooms, packages and drafts are built from the project itself, not collected by hand the week they are due.

proposal
a proposed entrythe accountanta confident matchback to the deal teaman unclear one
one entry, two desks

The entry is written before anyone opens it.

How sure the agent is decides who gets asked to look at it. A confident match goes to the accountant; an unclear one goes back to the person who knows what the money was for.

books
v4currentv3supersededv2supersededv1as underwritteneveryreportevery report reads the current one
nothing is overwritten

Numbers move together, and nothing is lost when they change.

Twenty-two kinds of record are versioned — budgets, deal models, valuations, positions, vendors, entity facts, draws and loan terms. Change an assumption and every report moves; the old one is still there.

Nothing posts on its own — every entry comes back for you to approve.

Answers are computed against the books as they stand, not a copy.

stored, not assumed

Approvers are set for the company and for each project. Nothing automated runs until it is switched on.

The tie-out between QuickBooks, AppFolio and Cellect is a stored reference, not a hope.
