Fundsflow Management
The moment of closing a multi-party, high-value transaction is a point of maximum financial complexity. The precise and simultaneous movement of funds between numerous accounts must be flawlessly choreographed. Aether provides a complete, end-to-end service, architecting the definitive blueprint for the settlement and executing it with absolute precision on closing day.
Our Role
We act as the central architect and independent agent for the entire closing funds flow process. We transform a complex and fragmented set of payment obligations into a single, coherent, and validated plan, and then execute that plan flawlessly under the pressures of a live closing.
We liaise with the buyer, seller, lenders, and all respective advisors to identify every source and use of funds. We then build a clear and comprehensive funds flow model that reconciles all accounts, creating a single, authoritative schedule of payments for sign-off by all parties.
We meticulously gather and verify the precise details for each payment, including the exact amount, payee, and full banking instructions. This rigorous, impartial process eliminates the risk of last-minute disputes over payment instructions.
On the closing date, we act as the central clearing house, receiving all incoming funds into a secure, segregated client account. Upon instruction, we execute all outgoing wire transfers to sellers, advisors, and creditors exactly as specified in the memorandum.
We provide immediate confirmation of receipt as funds arrive, allowing the closing to proceed without delay. Post-closing, we provide all parties with a complete and transparent report of all funds movements, confirming financial settlement and creating a definitive audit trail.
Architecting Certainty
By placing the construction of the funds flow memorandum in the hands of an independent specialist, all parties gain confidence that the mechanics of the closing are robust and accurate. Our rigorous process creates a definitive "source of truth" that ensures a smooth and orderly settlement, providing an unimpeachable plan that protects the integrity of the deal.
Execution Under Pressure
Our dedicated team is highly experienced in managing the complexities of a live closing. Our robust internal controls and secure banking platforms are designed to handle high-value, time-critical transactions, eliminating operational risk. By channelling all funds through Aether, all parties benefit from the security of a neutral third party, providing absolute assurance that capital is being managed securely and disbursed only in accordance with the agreed instructions.
