See what's really happening across every portfolio company.

Hobasa is a cross-system intelligence platform that helps organisations identify and resolve hidden operational gaps across Finance and HR initiatives before they impact performance. It transforms disconnected portfolio data into decision-ready information so you can spot risks earlier and act with confidence.

The reality of portfolio oversight

The oversight is the value. The follow-up is the tax.

Portfolio information lives in a dozen systems per company. Significant time goes to reconciling and chasing before any decision can be made. Issues are often identified late, after the impact has already occurred.

What our AI does today

AI that connects your systems, cites its sources and is reviewed by people.

No black-box answers. Every finding is traceable to a record in your systems and validated before it reaches a decision-maker.

  • Analysis across systems that don't normally talk

    Reconcile records from accounting, payroll, HR and operational tools into one view.

  • Answers linked back to the source

    Every finding cites the exact record, row or document it came from.

  • Explainable and reviewable outputs

    Each answer shows the inputs, the rule applied and how it was calculated.

  • Fraud, anomaly and compliance detection

    Duplicate payments, unusual patterns and policy breaks flagged against your rules.

  • Human review before important decisions

    Findings are checked by an analyst before they reach an owner, controller or CFO.

What Hobasa surfaces

A deeper analytical layer across every company you back.

Most investors start with one or two of these and expand. Each runs on top of the systems the operating team already uses.

Portfolio monitoring

Finance, workforce and operational data unified across every company, refreshed continuously.

Early warning signals

Margin drift, workforce risk and process breakdowns flagged continuously, not at quarter-end.

Cross-company benchmarking

Compare like-for-like across the portfolio with a consistent lens on drivers and outcomes.

Anomaly detection

Unusual patterns across systems and periods, surfaced with the context needed to act.

Post-close oversight

Operational visibility across the first hundred days and every quarter that follows.

Board pack validation

Reconcile investor updates against source systems, so what's presented matches reality.

Value creation tracking

See whether operational initiatives are actually taking hold over time, company by company.

Audit & compliance readiness

Continuous visibility into control gaps and compliance posture, not a quarterly scramble.

Enhances the stack

A unified oversight layer, not another tool for the operating team.

Hobasa sits on top of the systems your portfolio companies already run, connecting them, structuring the data and surfacing what matters — while the operating team keeps working in the tools they know.

Value & ROI

Scale oversight without scaling operational complexity.

A connected oversight layer changes the economics of portfolio management. Less manual follow-up, earlier signals, and the room to deliver consistent, defensible decisions across every company.

  • Reduced time reviewing, reconciling and chasing portfolio updates
  • Faster identification of underperformance, risk and operating issues
  • Better allocation of investor attention to the companies that need it most
  • Reduced chance of missing early warning signs
  • Stronger confidence in portfolio oversight and decision-making
  • Earlier identification of value creation opportunities across the book
