The #1 Baker Hill alternative for financial spreading

SpreadSpace gives lenders on Baker Hill a detailed credit workspace for the returns, entities and rental properties behind a deal. Baker Hill is a loan origination platform with spreading inside its suite.

An extracted figure opens its supporting document with the printed line boxed.

Three reasons to choose SpreadSpace

Review beyond the return totals

SpreadSpace extracts the supporting statements, loss carryovers and asset registers behind the tax return totals. Each figure opens its boxed source line, and arithmetic checks expose differences for review. Analysts can examine the details that change repayment capacity without reconstructing the packet by hand.

Compare rental income by property

SpreadSpace turns Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I into a property schedule with years side by side. Each property keeps its income, itemized operating expenses and printed depreciation line, with the supporting figures available for review. Analysts can isolate a building and see what changed before relying on the total.

Keep the spread on the loan

SpreadSpace opens as a tab inside Baker Hill, with the workspace and upload webhook connected in a day. New loan documents enter the analysis through the webhook, and finalized spread data returns through the API. The lender keeps the loan record, pipeline and booking in its existing system.

Why SpreadSpace is the stronger choice

SpreadSpace is the stronger choice for lenders that want to review a Baker Hill deal beyond the imported spread. Analysts can inspect supporting tax schedules, compare properties across years and keep borrower and guarantor analysis side by side. The source line and calculation remain available as the review moves into the memo. SpreadSpace connects as a tab in a day while Baker Hill keeps the loan record, pipeline and booking.

Choose SpreadSpace when

  • Your analysts want to open the source line behind any figure inside the tab in your loan origination system, boxed on the page, with the math behind a derived figure beneath it.
  • You want the whole return on the spread, including the per asset depreciation registers, the net operating loss history and every affiliated entity the return names.
  • You underwrite rental property and want a schedule of rental real estate income built from Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I, each property as one row across years with its gross rents, its itemized operating expenses, its depreciation as printed and its income or loss.
  • You spread multi-entity deals with several guarantors and want every Schedule K-1 paired with its own statements and attached to the right person without hand linking.
  • You underwrite on bank statements and want every transaction classified by counterparty, with daily balances, NSFs, overdrafts and every financing relationship surfaced, and your overrides kept and logged.
  • You want to keep Baker Hill as the system of record and add spreading depth as a tab, with a one-day embed and files that flow from the loan's inbox through a webhook.

Where Baker Hill falls short

  • Spreading is a module of the loan origination platform, with the analysis organized inside that system.
  • The preconfigured origination deployment carries a three-month implementation timeline.
  • Tax return figures enter the spread through a machine learning read, requiring the lender to review the imported results.

One public API with an OpenAPI 3.1 contract, 82 operations across 13 resource groups, versions pinned by date stamp and kept for at least twelve months, three hand-written SDKs in TypeScript, Python and C#, fourteen signed webhook events with automatic retries, and a skill file that lets a coding agent wire the embed and the webhook receiver.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Loan-inbox webhook with automatic linking

A webhook forwards every file that lands in a loan's inbox, the intake resolves or creates the borrower and the loan from your own reference, and a file already extracted on the loan is answered as a duplicate instead of being processed twice.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Documents and extraction
Tax detail with boxed source review

Every line of Form 1065, Form 1120-S, Form 1120 and Form 1040 with their schedules, every supporting statement anchored to its form line with its printed total checked, every Schedule K-1, Form 4562, Form 4797, Form 8825, Form 1125-A, Form 1125-E and Schedule M-3, more than 500 lines on a large return with a box on every figure.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Schedule K-1 pairing and owner linking

Each K-1 is bound to its own supporting statements by the printed partner name, the partner number stamp, page order and the capital account, the recipient is matched to a person on the loan by identifier, name and address with no fuzzy matching, and that person gathers every later personal return, personal financial statement and K-1 without hand linking.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Depreciation registers and loss history

Hundreds of pages of preparer depreciation and amortization registers are read asset by asset with every printed register total checked against its rows, the net operating loss carryforward schedule is typed year by year with a box on every cell, and the preparer's comparison worksheet extends the income statement a year or two before the oldest return.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Source-backed statements and aligned workbook periods

Profit and loss statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, receivable and payable agings, debt schedules and personal financial statements read from PDF and from Excel to one standard, with a workbook whose periods are scattered across tabs or files triaged, fanned out per year and stitched back into one statement that keeps every detail.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Bank transactions with counterparties and sources

Every transaction with its signed amount, check number, kind and page box, a balance for every day, overdrafts, NSFs, chargebacks and returned items, every transaction resolved to a counterparty and classified into one of 58 classes across 13 sections, every financing relationship with its advances, repayments and implied payment cadence, merchant cash advances included, and the undisclosed accounts the transactions mention.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Boxed source lines inside the spread

Every extracted figure opens its full source document with the line boxed on the page, inside the tab in your loan origination system, a figure summed from several lines boxes every line it was summed from, and the box follows the figure through the spread and into the memo.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Analysis
Tax basis and book basis with the proof

Every return is recorded on both a tax basis and a book basis, and the analyst can use either one or both. Every derived figure folds open to a derivation whose lines sum to it.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Cash flow statement from the return

A statement of cash flows in three blocks, operating, investing and financing, derived from the return and tied to the change in cash on Schedule L, drawn as a bridge and as the formal three-block table.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Basis-aware EBITDA with line-level add-backs

Adjusted EBITDA starts from the company's statements, from the return on a book basis or from page one ordinary business income on a tax basis, every printed line of the return is a candidate add-back with a checkbox per year, and the add-backs follow the basis the analyst chose.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Per-entity DSCR from selected document lines

DSCR is configured per entity and per year from the documents' own lines, pro forma with proposed debt service or historical from the balance the loan held at the start of the year, with every balance cell click to source, the bank statements' implied debt schedule and the business debt schedule available as legs, and each recipe saved by name on the loan and rendered as its own card.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Return-detected affiliates and bank reclassification

Every affiliated and intercompany entity named anywhere on the business and personal returns lands on one schedule, ownership link or not, K-1 or not, from the ownership tables on Form 1120 and Form 1120-S to the issuer behind every K-1, affiliates named in return statements and the related-party receivable and payable lines, and a named affiliate re-tags its matching bank counterparties to intercompany with the naming line boxed.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Rental real estate by property

Every property on Form 8825, across continuation sheets, and each property on Schedule E Part I becomes a row with income, itemized operating expenses and printed depreciation, with years side by side. Each property keeps its source lines, while Form 4562 and the depreciation registers provide the supporting depreciation detail in the return viewer.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Working the spread
Free placement and resizing on a canvas

Every chart, table, KPI card, text box and comment pin is a block that lands where the pointer releases, drags anywhere, resizes from any edge and magnifies on its own axis from half size to three times, and the split tool cuts a multi-year visual into per year pieces that rejoin.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Source-linked visual catalog and custom builder

59 curated tax cards, 40 company reported cards, 13 personal return and personal financial statement cards, 14 personal KPI cards and 20 bank tiles with 7 bank KPI cards on four catalog tabs, plus card sets minted per partner, per owner and per K-1 issuer from the documents themselves, each a graph and table pair with click to source on every cell.

IncludedNot demonstrated
The builder and line-level search

A builder with graph, ratio and KPI modes over a searchable pane of the loan's extracted lines from the filed return, the company statements, the personal return and the personal financial statement, with real operators and per-term multipliers, and every custom visual a recipe of line ids that rebuilds on any loan.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Every entity on one canvas

Every business and person on the loan is reconciled from the documents' printed names with the identifier's last four splitting or uniting respellings, appears in the entity selector and spreads on the same canvas with no fixed cap, and an unnamed document is moved onto its entity from a link modal.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Reusable canvas layouts without loan comments

A finished spread saves as a template that starts every loan of that type in one click and carries its visuals and arrangement, re-aimed at the new loan's filers, while comments, images and loan bound cards stay on the loan they were written on.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Shared canvas with comments pinned to visuals

Up to twenty five analysts work one board with live cursors, selections, drags and typing, a colleague's save lands silently, comment threads pin to a chart, a table or a bare point with replies and resolve, and a fold one analyst opens is open for every peer.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Memo
Company memo template with source-linked figures

Upload the memo your bank already uses as images, a PDF or a Word file and SpreadSpace rebuilds it as an editable template of text blocks, type-in grids and exhibit slots over the ghosted page, made once and shared across the team, or keep the Word file live with exhibits anchored into its flow.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Vector memo visuals retaining source links

Spread visuals import as a deep copy from the live workspace or any saved board, render as vector graphics that stay sharp at any size, place freely on the page, and keep their boxes, so a number placed in the memo still opens its full source document with the line boxed.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Memo prose linked to the source

Any sentence in the memo can link to a document line through the four-door picker, tax returns, bank statements, financials and guarantor, and print preview is the print, so a block that straddles a page break continues on the next sheet exactly as shown.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Control and audit
Audited figure corrections and persistent reclassification

An analyst edits a figure or caption in place and the edit is a document scoped override that every derived figure above it follows, recorded with the printed label, the column, the previous value and the new one, reversible with a reset that logs its own row, and restating a figure is its own permission that no other permission implies.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Targeted undo after later corrections

The counterparty audit log lists every correction with who made it, an Undo on any row reverses a mistake from last week after later actions have piled on, and the undo is itself recorded rather than erasing the record of the edit.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Immutable audit history

Every action lands in an append-only log that a database trigger keeps from being edited or deleted, retained up to seven years on every plan, with the last ninety days live in the app, the full history exportable, and every jump from a figure to its source page recorded as a source view.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Finalized spreads to your system

Finalize freezes the board into an immutable snapshot of 124 attributes and 21 ratios beside a machine twin built from the documents alone, fires a signed webhook, and your loan origination system reads the snapshot by id with every configured DSCR recipe under its own key.

Running SpreadSpace with Baker Hill

SpreadSpace runs as a tab on the loan record inside Baker Hill, named whatever your administrator chooses. A webhook forwards every file that lands in the loan's inbox, the active loan links itself the moment the first document arrives, and the extracted figures return through the public API and the finalized snapshot, so Baker Hill stays the system of record for the application, the approval, the documents and the booking. You keep Baker Hill for the loan record, the pipeline and booking, and the spread, the analysis and the memo move into the SpreadSpace tab.

Questions lenders ask

Does SpreadSpace replace Baker Hill?

Yes, for the spread, the analysis and the credit memo. SpreadSpace extracts every credit-bearing line of the return, builds the spread on a shared canvas inside the loan record and fills your own memo template with every figure still boxed to its source line. You keep Baker Hill for the loan record, the pipeline and booking, and SpreadSpace does its work in a tab inside it.

How long does it take to add SpreadSpace to Baker Hill?

A day. The embedded workspace and the upload webhook are the two pieces. The workspace mounts as a tab on the loan record, the webhook forwards every file that reaches the loan's inbox, and a developer can follow the integration guide or hand the skill file to a coding agent and let it read the docs and do the wiring.

Is Baker Hill NextGen the same as UN/FY?

UN/FY is the name Baker Hill gave its loan origination platform in November 2025, and the NextGen name retires in 2026 with the suite carried under the new brand. Statement spreading and the tax document reader are modules of that platform. SpreadSpace embeds in it the same way it embeds in any other loan origination system, as a tab on the loan.

What does SpreadSpace do with Schedule K-1s?

Each K-1 in a packet is read on its own and bound to its own supporting statements by the printed partner name, the partner number stamp, page order and the capital account, and a statement that cannot be placed is left unresolved rather than guessed. The recipient is matched to a person on the loan by identifier, name and address, and that person's later personal returns, personal financial statements and K-1s gather in the same pool. Distributions and guaranteed payments come off the K-1 itself, and a long K-1 packet is never cut short by a context window.

How do I check a figure against the source document?

Click it. The full source document opens with a box around that line, inside the SpreadSpace tab in your loan origination system, so you never leave the loan record. A derived figure folds open to the lines that add up to it, and a figure placed in the memo keeps the same link.

Does SpreadSpace use AI to extract the figures?

No figure on a tax return or a financial statement comes from a language model. Extraction is proprietary, and AI handles document screening and splitting. Every figure carries its printed box, every parent return is checked arithmetically, and a null means the document printed nothing while a zero means it printed zero.

Is there an audit trail?

Every analyst action lands in an append-only log that records who acted, what changed, when and the before and after values, and a database trigger blocks every edit or delete of those rows. The history is retained up to seven years on every plan, with the last ninety days live in the app and the full history exportable. A mistake from last week comes out with one Undo from the counterparty audit log, and the undo is itself logged.

How is SpreadSpace priced against Baker Hill?

The embedded workspace is bundled with the cost of extraction, so the canvas, the counterparty dashboard, the memo builder and the API carry no separate license, and the compliance bundle with seven-year retention is included on every plan.
