Helping private markets CFOs guarantee accuracy, improve transparency and build trust with their investors, clients and beneficiaries.
Engineered in Switzerland by private markets experts, qashqade guarantees accuracy, improves transparency and builds trust between GPs, LPs and their beneficiaries.
We do this through an award-winning enterprise product suite that streamlines and automates fee and waterfall calculations and reporting for private funds, replacing manual processes and unstable spreadsheets.
The qashqade platform offers CFOs a modular solution that can handle any asset class and any level of complexity. Headquartered in Zürich, qashqade also has offices in New York, London, and Budapest.
We value and promote professional expertise in everything we do across all parts of the business, from financial analysis and modeling to software development to sales and client service.
Our solution creates trust through transparency, and we encourage all our employees to be honest and transparent with each other as well as our customers.
Everyone’s input matters, and so we encourage collaboration across the business to ensure the best outcomes for employees and customers alike.
Ownership of both the rights and wrongs are crucial to ensuring the company achieves its goals together, admitting mistakes and helping each other to make things right.
