Case Study
Treasury Automation and Error Reduction
KKR Financial Services
The Operational Challenge
At KKR Financial Services, managing ultra-high-net-worth family office operations involved fragmented treasury processes, leading to high error rates in funding for private equity, alternatives, hedge funds, charitable foundations, and real estate portfolios. With 13 direct reports across four teams (Operations, Treasury/Banking, AP/AR, Client Service) and a $500K+ budget, inefficiencies in vendor oversight, manual settlements, and data flows risked compliance breaches, delayed client service, and suboptimal cash management – hindering the firm’s goal of resilient, scalable operations amid growth.

What Our Fractional COO Services Delivered
Leveraging EOS tools, I collaborated with leadership on a V/TO refresh to align the Core Focus on “seamless UHNW operations” with Rocks like “Automate treasury workflows in 90 days” and “Reduce errors to under 5%.”
In weekly Level 10 Meetings, I used the Issues List to IDS bottlenecks, such as manual AP/AR processing. For the Process Component, I documented and redesigned six core treasury processes (e.g., funding management, contract negotiation, entity oversight) in Notion, incorporating automation via Zapier and Flowdash for seamless integrations.
I led RFPs as project manager, conducting legal/IT due diligence for tools like general ledger bill pay, document retrieval, password vaults, and treasury platforms – assigning owners via the Accountability Chart and setting quality gates for each phase.
The Traction Component was reinforced with a Scorecard tracking weekly measurables (e.g., error rates, settlement times), while the People Component involved training sessions and performance alignment to Core Values, ensuring buy-in from all 13 reports.
Complex family office and treasury operations demand senior leadership that understands both the technical and human sides of financial management. When firms choose to hire a Fractional COO, they gain a Fractional Chief Operating Officer who brings structured process design, vendor oversight, and measurable accountability from day one. This engagement is a clear example of how Fractional COO services eliminate operational risk and drive efficiency across high-stakes financial environments.

Don't take our word for it, take theirs!
Just a few kind words from a handful of our amazing clients!
“These guys get RESULTS! Have been working with Divulge for a while now and cannot say enough about how happy I am with their marketing. They took the time to understand my product, my needs, and then presented a strategy that fit within my budget. I have seen such good response to their marketing that I've increased my monthly budget and couldn't be happier”

"1764 programs sold at $10 in 16 hours and the website was down for 2 hours!"
"Our campaign was apparently the best they ever had in terms of getting calls scheduled. It totally took off, and we had to ask them to slow down!! They even helped us on our messaging and sales scripting! We are SO thankful we didn't go with the other guys. Highly recommend them!"
