Institutional Finance Automation
Data architecture, reporting engines, and compliance pipelines for the modern financial institution.
Loan-Level Data Pipelines
Ingest, normalize, and store loan tapes from disparate sources. Our pipelines handle the chaos of raw loan tapes, automating the ingestion of diverse formats (Excel, CSV, PDF, API), mapping them to a unified schema, and applying rigorous validation rules. We build canonical key generation, entity resolution, automated validation with error flagging, and real-time SQL warehouse integration.
Tape Cracking
Automated parsing of inconsistent lender tapes into a canonical format.
Data Governance
Strict type checking and business rule validation before ingestion.
Excel-to-SQL Modernization
Stop running your business on fragile macros. We analyze your existing spreadsheets to understand the hidden business logic, then rebuild it in a robust SQL environment with a modern frontend, giving you the flexibility of Excel with the stability of a database. This includes macro-to-procedure conversion, reference data schema design, and secure role-based access control.
Logic Extraction
Reverse-engineering complex VBA into maintainable SQL procedures.
Version Control
Git-backed change management for all business logic.
Fund & Portfolio Engines
Move from static reports to dynamic analytics. Our engines calculate IRR, MOIC, and waterfall distributions in real-time, allowing you to model “what-if” scenarios and visualize portfolio performance across multiple dimensions instantly. We support multi-portfolio roll-ups, automated waterfall calculations, and multi-currency handling.
Real-Time Calc
Instant recalculation of portfolio metrics upon data updates.
Scenario Modeling
Stress test portfolios against market shifts and assumptions.
Audit & Compliance Automation
Turn compliance from a burden into a byproduct of operations. We build systems that maintain a perfect, queryable history of every data change and report version, creating an immutable audit trail that makes passing due diligence effortless. This includes audit-ready data lineage, automated regulatory reporting, and role-based access with activity monitoring.
Immutable Logs
Cryptographically verifiable history of all data modifications.
Auto-Reporting
One-click generation of 13F, TIC, and investor reports.
Client Perspectives
“Jake understood our systems better than most of our internal team within the first two weeks. He didn’t just build what we asked for — he identified problems in our data architecture we didn’t know we had and fixed them before they became audit issues.”
Vice President, Technology — Institutional Lender
“What sets Jake apart is that he actually ships. We’ve worked with consultants who produce decks and recommendations. Jake produces working systems — tested, documented, and ready for production.”
Project Manager — Financial Services
“The fund-level reporting and waterfall models Jake built replaced a process that used to take our team days of manual reconciliation. The board now gets real-time analytics that they actually trust.”

Case Study: National Institutional Lender
A top-50 U.S. middle-market lender managing a $20B+ portfolio was running on 1,200+ disconnected spreadsheets. GrayBeck designed and implemented a complete data infrastructure overhaul — reducing reporting latency from 3 weeks to under 2 days, achieving 100% audit-trail coverage, and cutting new fund setup time by approximately 80%.
