Ceviche

For accounting professionals in private equity and venture capital, the quarterly close is a high-stakes process plagued by manual work. Ceviche directly replaces the fragile, error-prone spreadsheets and email chains used for expense allocation. Instead of manually splitting hundreds of invoice lines from legal, travel, and software bills, you define your LPA's expense policy — including caps, thresholds, and exclusions — as structured rules within the system. Ceviche ingests invoices from your existing AP systems like Bill.com or Ramp, applies the correct rules, and presents the allocations for review. The core benefit is speed and accuracy: the platform claims to cut close times by 75%, from four weeks to one. Crucially, every allocation is traceable to the source PDF, the rule applied, and the approver, creating an unassailable audit trail. This transforms SEC exam or year-end audit preparation from a fire drill into a one-click report pull. As a SOC 2 Type II compliant platform, it provides the security and process integrity required for institutional-grade fund management.
