Financials
Overview
The Management Company Financials view provides a trial balance-style overview of the management company accounting records. It is designed to help users review account-level balances by period, validate that postings are correctly mapped, and export data for further analysis or external reporting.
This page works as an accounting workspace rather than a high-level KPI dashboard. Users come here to inspect the underlying general ledger structure, check balances against source systems, and maintain the integrity of the management company accounts in Valuat.
What users can see
The page includes the management-company navigation menu with Dashboard, Portfolio, Investors, Operations, Financials, Reports, and Documents. It also includes a global navigation area with AML, Campaigns, Users, and Valuat Symphony, plus internal links for SFTP and valuatServices.
Within the Financials area, the user can access the Trial Balance section. The Trial Balance view shows the total number of accounting lines currently visible and exposes month selectors, export and import controls, and an editable table of accounts and balances.
The main content area contains a table listing each account with its code, description, and monthly balances. Typical lines include capital and equity accounts, investor share classes, investments in related parties, and trade creditors, each with balances for selected months such as March, April, and June.
Main sections
Financials navigation
This section lets users access the accounting workspace from the management company context. It is the entry point into the Trial Balance and related financial data views.
Trial Balance header
This section displays the Trial Balance name, the number of lines in the current view, and the month selector. It sets the reporting context for the balances shown below.
Month selector
This horizontal selector allows users to choose one or more months (Jan to Dec) to display in the table. The selected months appear as columns with balances for each account.
Actions bar
This area contains the Export and Import actions. Export allows users to download the current trial balance data for offline use, while Import lets them load accounting data from an external source into the management company ledger.
Accounts table
This is the main working area of the page. Each row represents one account and shows its code, descriptive name, and balances for the selected months. Some cells are populated with amounts, while others remain blank when there is no posting for that period.
Table columns
Element | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The descriptive account name, such as capital accounts, investor share classes, investments, or creditors. |
Code | The numeric account code associated with the account name. |
Monthly balance columns | One column per selected month (for example, Mar, Apr, Jun) showing the account balance for that period. |
What users can do
Users can review the management company accounts as a trial balance, making it easier to reconcile totals with external accounting systems or auditors. By scanning the table, they can see which accounts carry significant balances in each month.
Users can change the month selection to focus on specific periods. This supports month-end or quarter-end review workflows and comparisons across different accounting periods.
Users can export the trial balance for further analysis in external tools. This is useful for detailed reconciliations, management reporting, or passing structured data to finance teams and auditors.
Users can import updated accounting data when new postings or adjustments are available. This keeps the Valuat ledger aligned with the primary accounting records.

Tips for users
- Start with this page when performing period-end reviews or reconciling management company balances.
- Use the month selector to focus on one period at a time when validating closing balances.
- Scan for unexpectedly large or zero balances in capital, investment, and creditor accounts as a quick check for mapping issues or missing postings.
- Use Export whenever you need to perform detailed analysis, pivoting, or cross-checking in external tools such as spreadsheets or BI systems.
- Use Import to keep the Valuat trial balance synchronised with your primary accounting source, particularly after posting adjustments or new periods.
Example use case
A finance and operations user opens the Financials view at month-end to reconcile the management company trial balance. They select the relevant month, export the data, compare balances against the external accounting system, and then import an updated trial balance once corrections are finalised.
