Purpose-built for fund managers who need precision, independence, and a partner who speaks your language.
A systematic view of where your capital is concentrated, where your downside lives, and where your blind spots might be.
Track how fast you're deploying, where bottlenecks live, and whether you're on pace to meet your targets.
Ongoing strategic guidance. We're your second opinion on portfolio composition, risk metrics, and fund health.
Our audits are objective. We have no investment position in your fund, no conflict of interest, and no incentive other than delivering you an accurate picture. That independence matters — especially in LP conversations.
Every engagement is governed by strict NDAs and confidentiality protocols. Your fund data, deal flow, and LP information are handled with the same rigor you apply to your own due diligence.
See why leading Canadian funds choose a dedicated PE-specialist over generalist auditors or in-house teams.

We don't sell audit templates. We build a precise, fund-specific view of your risk and capital position.
We've worked inside funds. We understand your structure, your timelines, your LP constraints, and your real operational challenges.
You get plain-language reports that highlight what matters. We don't hide insight behind technical language or unnecessary complexity.
Every fund is different. We design our audit and advisory approach to fit your specific structure, stage, and goals.
We don't disappear after delivering reports. You get ongoing access, quarterly check-ins, and advisory support when you need it.
A five-step process built for funds that need rigor without disruption.
We review your fund structure, current risk profile, and what brought you to us. This informs everything we do.
We dive into your portfolio data, investment agreements, financial positions, and operational metrics. We look systematically for risk and opportunity.
We run concentration analysis, stress-tests, deployment models, and scenario analysis. All custom to your fund.
You get a written report with findings, context, and next steps. We walk through it with your team and answer every question.
Quarterly reviews, annual updates, and advisory calls. We stay plugged in and evolve the analysis as your fund grows.
Our work speaks through the people who've trusted us with their portfolios.
"Their deployment analysis helped us reallocate how we approach new investments. We close deals faster now. That's not what we hired them to do, but it's what happened."
Partner, Investment Team — Zenith Capital (Toronto)
"Gildenfell's portfolio risk dashboard is something we show LPs now. It's become part of our fund story, not just an internal tool. That's huge."
Chief Operating Officer — Harbor Growth Advisors (Vancouver)
"We asked them to audit us. They ended up redesigning how we track portfolio health. Best decision we made this year."
Managing Director — Summit Equity Partners (Calgary)
Answers to the questions we hear most often from fund managers.
Gildenfell Finance LLP was built by practitioners who spent years inside private equity firms before founding an independent advisory practice. We know what fund managers actually need — not what general-purpose auditors think they need.
Based in Toronto, we work with Canadian fund managers from pre-first-close through mature fund wind-down. Our independence is our most valuable asset — we're never conflicted, and we always tell you what we actually find.
