MCA & Syndication

Merchant cash advance & syndication accounting

Syndication ledgers that actually reconcile. Merchant cash advance accounting is our specialty — deal-level syndication included. Most bookkeepers can't track participation across funders, fees, and collections; we built our practice around it.

The challenge

Where it gets hard

These are the places generic bookkeeping breaks down for mca & syndication — and exactly what we account for.

  • Syndication participation split across multiple funders and deals
  • Factor rates, fees, and commissions muddying real revenue
  • Collections, renewals, and defaults that have to be tracked deal-by-deal
  • Generic bookkeepers who don't understand the MCA model

Our approach

What we do about it

Specialist bookkeeping, AI-assisted and then human- and CPA-reviewed — built for how your business actually runs.

  • Deal-level syndication ledgers: participation, fundings, and collections by funder
  • Revenue recognition done right — deferral or accelerated, explained in plain language
  • Clean separation of factor income, fees, commissions, and broker payouts
  • Syndicate / investor reporting you can actually hand to partners
  • CPA-reviewed financials built for lenders, partners, and tax time

The tool we built

DealHawk

MCA tracked the way it actually works — deal by deal, funder by funder.

Generic accounting forces merchant cash advance into accounts it was never built for. So we built a tool that models the deal itself — participation, fundings, fees, and collections, by funder and by deal — with revenue recognition stated in plain language. The edge no off-the-shelf product can match.

FAQ

MCA & Syndication accounting, answered

The questions we hear most about mca & syndication books — answered straight.

  • A merchant cash advance isn't a loan — it's a purchase of future receivables. It has to be recorded as a liability with the principal and the financing cost split out, and in a syndication the participation has to be tracked deal-by-deal across funders. Generic bookkeeping treats it as a single transaction, and that's where the numbers stop tying out.
