Case Study: Horseferry Trading gains three analyst hours a day with FundCount

Gained three analyst hours a day with automated accounting

Horseferry Trading, a Singapore-based single-family office, was spending too much time managing a fast-growing portfolio in spreadsheets. Trades, prices, FX rates, and interest accruals were entered manually, which limited visibility, created reconciliation work at quarter-end, and consumed about three staff hours every day before analysis could begin. Horseferry needed a way to capture trades automatically and get same-day insight from its accounting data.

FundCount set up a live data feed between Horseferry’s brokers and a single general ledger, then added dashboards and reporting views on top. The system automated postings across public and private equities, options, credit, FX, and futures, cutting daily analyst work by three hours and bringing back about fifteen analyst hours a week; six months in, books were closing before lunch instead of at day’s end, and quarter-end close fell from two weeks to seven days.
