August 09, 2021
Lionpoint Co-Founder, Jonathan Balkin, spoke to Mariya Stefanova of Private Equity Accounting Insights for the release of the PEAI Carry Directory, a definitive guide to ‘all things carry’.
The PEAI Carry Directory is a definitive guide to ‘all things carry’ – from designing or certifying Excel-based waterfall models to finding an automated platform to run waterfalls and/or carry allocation & carry plans on (for GPs/PE Managers), or to finding a carry/fee validation solution (for LPs/Investors in Private Equity).
For the launch of the PEAI Carry Directory, Lionpoint Co-Founder and Executive Director, Jonathan Balkin, answered a few questions, such as how Anaplan shines against Excel when it comes to better, faster calculations and forecasts, and top tips for GPs to organize their data in preparation for building their waterfalls.
