How Portfolio Monitoring Works

01

Upload reporting materials

Drop in board decks, monthly reporting packages, and investor updates for each portfolio company: PDFs, Excel files, and presentations in one drive.

02

Define the metrics you track

Tell the AI Analyst which KPIs matter: revenue, EBITDA, gross margin, cash burn, headcount, covenant ratios. Describe your plan and reporting cadence in plain English.

03

Get cited dashboards in Excel

Receive KPI dashboards and variance-vs-plan tables with real formulas, every value cited back to the exact page of the board deck or reporting package it came from.

Why Portfolio Monitoring Is Still a Manual Grind

Portfolio teams spend the days after each reporting cycle re-keying numbers instead of interpreting them.

Every company reports differently

Board decks and reporting packages arrive in different formats, layouts, and metric definitions. Getting them into one comparable view means manually mapping each company's numbers by hand.

Numbers buried in slides and PDFs

The KPIs you track live inside board decks, appendix tables, and narrative commentary. Pulling revenue, burn, and margin from dozens of slides every quarter is slow and error-prone.

Variance-vs-plan built by hand

Comparing actuals to budget and prior period means rebuilding the same variance tables each cycle, then reconciling them against a plan that lives in a separate model.

No audit trail for LPs or IC

When a portfolio number is questioned, tracing it back to the specific board deck page it came from is nearly impossible after a manual copy-paste workflow.

Why Compound Excels at Portfolio Monitoring

01

One consistent view across holdings

Compound normalizes different reporting formats into a single comparable KPI set, so you can track the whole portfolio side by side instead of one deck at a time.

02

Variance vs plan with real formulas

Actuals, budget, and prior-period variance come as an editable Excel model with live formulas: audit the logic, adjust the plan, and extend it in your own workflow.

03

Cited back to every source page

Each KPI links to the exact page of the board deck or reporting package it was pulled from, so quarterly reviews and LP reporting stay fully auditable.
