Daily Cash Report

Automated Daily Cash Reporting Across 200+ Investment Funds

Client

Multi-Fund Asset Manager (Front-Office & Treasury Operations)

Business Problem

Fund managers and operations staff were manually querying a web-based application to retrieve daily cash balances across nearly 200 investment funds, in which each fund required a separate query. 

The process of consolidating results into Excel and compiling weekly and monthly reports was time-consuming, error-prone, and poorly scalable. These delays hampered investment decision-making and increased operational risk, particularly when errors slipped into the 'Top 10' cash outliers.

Solution Delivered

We built an Excel-based automation tool that eliminated the need for manual fund-by-fund queries and consolidation.

The solution included:

  • A one-click data pull from the source system, automatically aggregating cash positions across all funds managed by a selected individual
  • Built-in report generation for daily, weekly, and monthly summaries, including a dynamic ‘Top 10’ largest balances view for quick portfolio oversight
  • A maintenance dashboard enabling non-technical users to assign funds to managers, configure recipients, and adjust frequency—without editing formulas or code
  • Automated data validation to detect anomalies or missing values before reports are sent

The solution delivered a significant efficiency uplift while enhancing accuracy, control, and delivery consistency.

Results

  • Reduced daily cash reporting effort from hours to under 5 minutes per manager
  • Achieved 100% accuracy in cash summaries with automatic anomaly detection
  • Improved report turnaround time, supporting faster portfolio allocation decisions
  • Freed up fund managers from manual querying, redirecting time to investment activity
  • Established a repeatable reporting process adaptable across other teams and data sources
