About Financialyst

Built by the people who built the industry's CRE risk models.

Our mission is to bring clarity and confidence to commercial real estate investment by transforming complex data into trusted, actionable intelligence.

Our story

Why we built Financialyst

We spent our careers building the models the CRE credit industry runs on: the default model that became the market's benchmark, the stress-testing systems global banks file with their regulators, and the pricing and valuation models trading desks use every day. We know what those tools get right, and we know where they stop.

They stop at the point where the work actually happens. Analysts still rebuild cash-flow waterfalls in private spreadsheets that never reconcile. Construction loans get modeled as riskier commercial mortgages, so banks over-reserve. The market report, the valuation and the credit memo come from three vendors and tell three different stories. And when a credit officer asks where a number came from, nobody can show them.

Financialyst is the platform we wished we had. One loan-level dataset, one set of models and one workflow, so a lender or investor can go from a loan tape to a property mark, a stress test and a committee-ready memo in the same project, with every number traceable to its inputs. In the app, as an API, or as a feed into your own systems. Built by people who have been on the hook for the answer.

Leadership

A team of leaders in CRE risk and quantitative modeling

Matt has spent his career building the credit risk models that banks, regulators and institutional investors rely on. As co-founder of Foresight Analytics, later acquired by a leading CRE data and analytics provider, he was the architect of the CRE default model that became the industry benchmark for credit risk in commercial real estate lending. He went on to lead the design and launch of the bank portfolio analytics and stress-testing platforms that financial institutions use to analyze their loan books, from commercial mortgages to construction loans.

After the financial crisis, Matt testified on bank stability before the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP. His analysis has appeared in The Wall Street Journal and American Banker. At Financialyst he leads client relationships and the credit-model roadmap. He holds an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley, and a BA in German Literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

JP has spent his career building the models that banks, investors and trading desks run their businesses on. He has led quantitative teams that developed and extended a widely used suite of CRE risk analytics, including default, loss, valuation and pricing models, built front-office trading and valuation models for structured credit, and designed CCAR, DFAST and PPNR forecasting models and stress-testing programs for global banks.

At Financialyst he leads product and engineering and stays close to the work, from the data pipeline to the cash-flow, credit and pricing models and the API that exposes them. He pairs traditional econometrics with machine learning to sharpen CRE risk forecasts, while keeping every model explainable under the Federal Reserve's SR 11-7 model-risk guidance. He holds an MBA in Finance and Accounting from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business and a BS in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, and is a CFA charterholder and certified FRM.

How we work

What we believe

01

Show the work

Every valuation, default rate and bond payment can be traced back to its inputs. If a credit officer can't follow it, it isn't finished.

02

One deal, one story

Comps, market narrative, valuation and memo come from the same data, so the committee pack agrees with itself.

03

Model the loan you have

A construction loan is not a riskier mortgage. We model draws, reserves and lease-up month by month, the way the loan actually behaves.

04

Say what's AI

Generative AI drafts and reads. Statistical models estimate. Checks and scores are rules your model-risk team can inspect. We label which is which.

What we do

One platform for CRE lenders, investors and capital markets teams

Market intelligence. CRE Market Pulse and CRE Market Report track delinquency, maturities, cap rates and metro conditions.

Lending. Valuation Engine, Construction Model and Loan Underwriter take a deal from property mark to credit decision.

Capital markets. CMBS Analytics runs loan cash flows through an explicit bond waterfall, with stress, pricing and risk on one run.

Platform. Every product is also an API, and our market data is available as a separate feed.
