The #1 Wolters Kluwer CASH Suite alternative for financial spreading

SpreadSpace gives credit teams a clear path from tax return evidence to book analysis, rental review and the lender's memo. Wolters Kluwer CASH Suite is a modular commercial credit analysis suite.

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

Three reasons to choose SpreadSpace

Explain the book and tax difference

SpreadSpace records every return on both a tax basis and a book basis, with the calculation folded beneath each derived figure, and the analyst can use either one or both. Its statement of cash flows separates operating, investing and financing activity and reconciles to Schedule L. The analyst can explain the basis of the credit decision from the return itself.

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 assumptions with the analyst

SpreadSpace lets the analyst choose the EBITDA basis and add-backs for each entity and year. DSCR uses selected document lines and a named recipe saved on the loan, with historical or proposed debt service. The resulting figures retain their supporting calculations for review.

Why SpreadSpace is the stronger choice

SpreadSpace is the stronger choice for lenders that want the analyst to control the working spread and explain its results. Book and tax derivations remain visible, rental properties retain their itemized expenses across years, and each entity's assumptions stay with its analysis. Source links follow reviewed figures into the memo. CASH Suite organizes that work across its modules and configuration services; SpreadSpace places the analysis inside the lender's existing loan origination system in a day.

Choose SpreadSpace when

  • You want to click any figure and see its source line boxed on the page, inside the loan origination system your analysts already work in, from the spread and from the memo.
  • You want every credit-bearing line of a return on the spread, including hundreds of pages of depreciation and amortization schedules, the net operating loss history, and the affiliate schedule on business and personal returns.
  • You want adjusted EBITDA built on the basis you choose, with add-backs that follow that basis and can be applied to one year or all of them.
  • You analyze bank statements alongside the return and want every transaction, daily balances, NSFs, overdrafts, and every financing relationship, with transactions rolled up by counterparty and reclassified when a document proves the relationship.
  • You want your own credit memo template rebuilt as an editable template, with spread visuals at full SVG fidelity and source links that survive into the memo.
  • Lenders reviewing rental real estate need Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I income, itemized expenses and depreciation compared by property across years.

Where Wolters Kluwer CASH Suite falls short

  • CASH Tax Importer includes a human review step before the figures enter the spread.
  • Professional services configure the suite as part of implementation, adding a configuration engagement to the rollout.
  • Sharing analysis with people outside CASH Insight uses PDF, Excel or Word files, creating a separate review artifact.

Integration
Versioned API with three SDKs and an agent guide

A versioned public API with three hand-typed SDKs, an end-to-end integration guide, and an agent skill file that wires the embed for you.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Data back into the loan system

Extracted lines, spreads, and memos come back through the API, so the loan system stays the system of record.

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 Schedule K-1 in the packet, the supporting statement behind every overflow line and the per asset depreciation registers, so a large return yields several hundred lines with a box on every figure. Every parent return checks its own arithmetic, and a failing check ships as an underwriting signal beside the data.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Asset registers and typed loss carryovers

Form 4562 is read in every part, and the preparer's per asset registers, the hundreds of pages behind the totals, are read row by row, with the printed asset fields retained and every printed register total checked against its rows. The register is its own tab on the return viewer with a source jump per asset row, and typed loss schedules retain loss sustained, previously applied and remaining carryforwards.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Align workbook periods across tabs and files

A workbook is triaged sheet by sheet across twelve sheet kinds, a comparative statement is fanned out per year, and periods scattered across tabs or across files are stitched into one standard statement with the rows aligned by label and nothing double billed.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Boxed source lines inside the spread

A click opens the full source document with the exact line boxed. A figure placed in the memo keeps the source link, and a derived figure unfolds into its supporting rows.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Folded derivations behind calculated figures

Every derived figure unfolds into a folded derivation whose lines sum to it, from the book gain on disposed assets to book depreciation, capex, and every cash flow line, so the analyst checks the preparer's math instead of reading a line item.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Entities and affiliates
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, the issuer behind every K-1, affiliates named in return statements, the personal return's pass through and qualified business income rosters, and related party receivable and payable lines. The schedule feeds the entity roster and re-tags matching bank counterparties to intercompany with the naming line boxed.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Schedule K-1 statement pairing and owner linking

Each K-1 is bound to its own supporting statements by a cascade of printed name, partner number, page order and capital account, and its recipient is matched to a person on the loan by identifier, name and address, so a K-1 that lands days later still reaches the right guarantor. No fuzzy person matching exists anywhere, so an unmatched name stays unmatched rather than guessed.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Per-entity documents on one shared canvas

Every business and person on the loan is reconciled from the documents' printed names, with spelling drift folded and the EIN last four splitting or uniting names, and appears in the entity selector, so cards from several filers sit on one canvas with no fixed cap on how many. A K-1, a personal return and a personal financial statement gather on the same person without hand linking.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Return evidence reclassifies bank counterparties

When the affiliate schedule names a counterparty, its bank rows reclassify to intercompany on their own, even when the return arrives days after the statements, with the source line boxed. In an illustrative example, $9,000,000 moved from repairs to intercompany, 12% of operating outflows.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Analysis
Per-entity DSCR from selected document lines

Coverage is configured per entity and per year from the documents' own lines, with debt service assembled from the Schedule L liability balances, the business debt schedule and the implied debt schedule from the bank statements, pro forma with proposed debt and historical, and saved as a named recipe on the loan that renders as its own card.

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

Start from statements, spreadsheets, or the return on a book or tax basis, and the add-backs follow the basis the analyst chose. Every line from every document is available, as a list or by search, for all years or for one.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Tax basis and book basis

Every return is recorded on both a tax basis and a book basis, and the analyst can use either one or both. Book depreciation, book gain on disposed assets, and capex each unfold into the lines that sum to them.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Return-derived cash flow footing to Schedule L

An itemized statement of cash flows in three blocks, operating, investing, and financing, derived entirely from the return and footing to the net change in cash on Schedule L, with a bridge visual, the formal three-block table, and a P&L bridge for every return year.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Bank transactions with counterparties and sources

Every transaction from 234 registered bank layouts with its date, description, signed amount, check number, kind and page box, a balance for every day, and overdraft, insufficient funds, chargeback, returned item and service fee signals. Each transaction rolls up under a named counterparty in one of 58 classes across 13 sections, and every financing relationship, merchant cash advances included, is found from payment cadence and the transaction text.

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

The spread is a canvas rather than a form. Every chart, table, KPI card, text box, line and comment pin lands where the pointer releases, drags anywhere, resizes from any edge and magnifies on its own axis, and the canvas grows sideways and downward as the work needs it.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Reusable canvas layouts without loan comments

A finished board saves as a global template that carries its visuals and arrangement to every loan of that type, re-aimed at that loan's filers, while comments, placed pictures, source links and loan bound cards stay behind on the loan that wrote them.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Source-linked charts and custom ratios

More than 100 charts, ratios, and KPIs built by institutional credit analysts, and a builder for your own graphs, tables, ratios, and KPIs.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Searchable return lines with source-linked visuals

Any extracted line becomes a graph, a ratio with real operators and per term multipliers, an aggregate or a KPI card, picked from a searchable list of the return's lines under thirteen groups, the company statements, the personal return and the personal financial statement, and the built visual keeps the source jump on every line it reads.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Analyst-set coverage inputs and add-backs

The analyst sets DSCR inputs and EBITDA add-backs per entity and year on the loan. Coverage recipes stay on that loan, while canvas templates carry the visual arrangement to later deals.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Memo and audit
Company memo template with source-linked figures

The lender's memo is rebuilt as a company template shared across the team, and spread visuals render as vector graphics in the memo. Figures keep their source links so reviewers can open the boxed line from the memo.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Audited figure corrections with reset

Analysts may edit an extracted value under an opt-in scope. The change writes through to the extraction itself, is audited and traceable, and reverses with one reset.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Immutable action history with before and after

Every action, including undo and redo, is kept for up to seven years in an immutable log, and a change from last week reverses with one click without touching the actions that followed.

Questions lenders ask

Does SpreadSpace replace Wolters Kluwer CASH Suite?

Yes. SpreadSpace provides the spreading canvas, source review and memo builder inside the lender's loan origination system. Shared templates preserve the lender's chosen layout and memo format.

How long does it take to add SpreadSpace to a loan origination system?

A day. The embedded workspace and the upload webhook are the two pieces. Files from the loan's inbox enter the analysis through the webhook, and extracted data returns through the API.

How can a reviewer check a figure?

The source document opens with the exact line boxed. Derived figures unfold into the supporting rows that make the calculation. The source link remains available when a figure enters the memo.

What does SpreadSpace do with Schedule K-1s?

Each Schedule K-1 stays paired with its supporting statements and is matched to its recipient on the loan. That person's later returns and personal financial statements gather in the same place. An unresolved match stays unresolved for review rather than being guessed.

Can SpreadSpace compare rental properties across years?

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.

Who controls EBITDA and DSCR assumptions?

The analyst chooses the EBITDA basis and add-backs per entity and year. DSCR draws from selected document lines and historical or proposed debt service, with the named recipe saved on the loan. Canvas templates carry the layout to later loans without carrying those loan-specific DSCR recipes.

Is there an audit trail?

Analyst actions record who changed what, when, and the before and after values in an immutable history retained for up to seven years. Counterparty corrections have an undo that preserves later independent edits, and the undo is recorded too. Saved boards and memos also retain restorable revisions.

How is SpreadSpace priced against Wolters Kluwer CASH Suite?

The workspace is bundled with the cost of extraction, including the canvas, source review and memo builder. Contact sales for a quote sized to the lender's document volume.
