Challenges of running financial operations in an investment firm
The world of Financial Investments and investment management firms is maze of numbers and arithmetic. These firms continuously make and track financial transactions related to individual securities, funds and portfolios, and reports numbers to customers, shareholders, and authorities. This play of numbers involves people and paperwork, right from acquiring skilled human resources, legal experts and admins for handling the various levels of tasks such as billing, collections, payments, etc. to name a few. And it goes without saying that running these accounting operations with all the exacting paperwork can be highly demanding. In a nutshell, it requires firms to invest a huge dollar amount to run the accounting operations.
” Ploughing through heaps of accounting tasks can be like untangling mathematical noodles. “
When the top line stalls and the bottom line suffers
How much ever daunting the task may be, the firms still need to make a profit. Asset Management companies make their profits in three ways – increasing the number of customers, increasing the returns for those customers and thereby earning a good commission, and reducing expenses to improve operational alpha.
Operations related to financial transactions are categorized into various functions like accounting, tax filing, customer and regulatory reporting, and other administrative activities. Each of these functions perform complex activities that cost a significant time and money to any financial institution. Apart from the cost factor, inefficiencies in operations due to less experienced hands/unskilled resources may result in loss of precious time and unpredictable issues.
Helping Asset Managers focus on investment decisions
When the marketing is growing, the asset management firms generally get away with inefficient operations. When the growth in the top line stalls the focus is on improving profitability by reducing operational expenses. The pressure is on reducing cost, the cycle time for each activity, and most importantly acquiring skilled human resources.
There are several good companies that specialize in providing services in one or more of the above functions. However, there is hardly any firm in the market that offers the entire breadth and depth of services needed for a growth seeking asset management firm. And outsourcing sections of your financial operations to different vendors may not be a wise decision.
