Holland Mountain advises private capital firms worldwide
What's holding GPs back from scaling their finance operations?
Having worked with 200+ Private Capital firms across strategies and geographies, we understand the operational pressures that emerge as firms grow — and why finance functions are often the last to catch up.
Finance & operations services for Private Capital firms
Our capabilities extend beyond fund finance into management company operations. We acknowledge that both must align to realise efficiencies across the operating model.
Our focus: scaling your back-office platforms and processes in line with AUM growth.
Finance Operating Model
A targeted review of your finance and back-office functions, designed for private equity firms navigating growth. We assess fund finance, corporate finance, and management company operations — delivering a future-state target operating model and a prioritised roadmap aligned to your firm's strategy.
Process & Control Optimisation
We identify inefficiencies and control gaps across your private equity firm's finance processes — building the foundations for scalability, risk management, and technology adoption. Our methodology produces current-state and future-state process maps, a controls framework, and a clear remediation plan.
Treasury & Cash Management
We assess and strengthen treasury and cash management processes for private equity firms — reviewing controls across all entities, fund structures, and fund administrator relationships. Our review addresses multi-jurisdictional payment processes, cash visibility, and liquidity controls. Where a treasury management system (such as Hazeltree) is required, we support selection and implementation.
ABOR & GL Support
We support private equity fund finance teams with their accounting book of records (ABOR) and general ledger (GL) processes — improving data accuracy, reconciliation workflows, and the interface with fund administrators. Our work ensures the fund accounting infrastructure is scalable, audit-ready, and aligned to best practice across IFRS and fund reporting standards.
Financial Reporting Automation
We evaluate reporting processes and systems for private equity firms — identifying opportunities to automate LP reporting, fund reporting, and management company financial reporting. Where a reporting tool is the right solution, we support the full selection and implementation process, reducing manual effort and improving accuracy and timeliness across reporting cycles.
ROI & Cost Analysis
We help private capital firms evaluate the true cost of their technology investments - assessing vendor pricing structures, licence models, and total cost of ownership across their finance and operations stack. Our work gives firms a clearer basis for vendor selection decisions, renewal negotiations, and investment prioritisation across their software portfolio.
Finance System Optimization
We provide targeted support to ensure your finance system runs at its best. From data quality and feature roll-out to configuration and reporting, we review and remediate your system so it delivers its full potential for your team.
AP & Expense Management
We streamline accounts payable and expense management processes for private equity firms — reducing manual effort, improving controls, and readying your finance function for automation. We assess current-state AP workflows, define requirements, and where an AP automation solution is selected, we support the full implementation from vendor selection through to go-live.
