Does your system prepare your covenant certificate every month?

Most loan agreements require a compliance certificate on a schedule. Our platform builds it from your closed books, inside a bank-ready package. It will not report a pass on a covenant nobody has defined.

SIDE BY SIDE

What your software does, and what we add

You keep the accounting software you use today. The platform works from its standard reports.

TYPICAL ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

  • Standard financial statements your lender can read
  • No covenant tests, borrowing-base page, or compliance certificate
  • The lender package is assembled outside the software, usually by hand

THE BRADLEY & COMPANY PLATFORM

  • A covenant certificate testing current ratio, tangible net worth, debt service coverage, and leverage
  • A capital structure and borrowing-base page
  • A transmittal letter, so the package goes to the bank ready to send
  • A covenant with no requirement entered shows as not tested. It never shows PASS by default.
HOW IT WORKS
1

We record each covenant requirement from your loan agreement once, at onboarding.

2

Each month the platform calculates the ratios from your closed, tied-out statements and compares each one to its requirement.

3

The certificate, capital structure page, and transmittal letter go into one package. You review and sign it. The bank gets a complete package.

WHY IT MATTERS
Your books show what happened. We tell your banker you’re in compliance, and prove it.

A compliance certificate is a signed statement to your bank. A wrong PASS can do more damage than a late report, so the platform is built to never produce one.
