How do our legacy conversions work?
1) On-Site Consultations
Clearwater values durable partnerships with every client and wants a strong start to our relationship. Our team will travel to your office for a free consultation for you to identify the pain points of your current operating model and understand how Clearwater can shape your team’s future model.
Here’s how your current technology might be limiting your organization:
- Interface cannot be customized without help from IT or report builder
- Data such as pricing, amortization, and accruals aren’t validated daily – stale prices can lead to incomplete analysis
- Lack of sophisticated pricing hierarchies prevent accurate analysis
- Data warehouse is not included, meaning you must aggregate and transform your own data from external sources
“The training and implementation was great at getting us what we needed. Clearwater took great care of us, and immediately showed its value even beyond the solution, with the people who provide regulatory expertise and service. The people are so helpful and knowledgeable and it has been eye-opening to see how much more we can do with Clearwater! -Rene Martello, Finance Director, Montana State Fund”

2) Provide Enhanced Reporting
Unlock 450+ in-depth reports
Does your current reporting efficiently provide everything you need? Are you able to reconcile between accounting basis such as GAAP vs STAT vs Tax or does this require spreadsheet gymnastics? How do you perform time-series analysis?
These are just a few of the many problems we solve for users today. Clearwater provides over 450 out-of-the-box reports for accounting, compliance, performance, and risk reporting for multiple asset classes and currencies, including GAAP, Statutory, Tax, and IFRS.

Our dedicated transformation team annually converts over 125 organizations from other technology. We understand how to convert your current processes, reports, and tasks into Clearwater seamlessly, and want to share our best practices with you to ensure an easy conversion.
What else does can a dedicated team do for you?
- Ensure data is reconciled on time, daily
- Provide unlimited training, guidance, report building, and access to industry leading subject matter experts (SME’s)
- Co-own month-end processes alongside with you
“Nothing had ever worked ideally right out of box. At one point, I’d found myself trying to account for fixed-income assets using systems designed for equities. Making them almost work correctly was time-consuming and tedious, plus they were siloed, so none of them were able to communicate with one another. It represented an unacceptable status quo.”
– Steven Boyd, Principal, Halyard Asset Management.
