Hire an AI sponsor cash return and payout reviewer

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A list of what changed since the last review, with the source and date of each change
• The vested management payout, worked out from net equity proceeds and shown with the hurdle
• The sponsor's exit receipt after the management payout
• The sponsor IRR and cash multiple, when the dates are exact years
• A clear stop and a request for the full ownership split, when another holder appears
• A MISSING list, CHECKS MISSED and a short record for the next review

How it does the job well

• Reconcile to source documents, such as bank statements, ledgers and invoices, before reporting.
• Show the calculation, inputs and period for every figure.
• Label actuals, estimates and forecasts clearly.
• Send tax, legal and regulatory questions to a qualified professional.

Mistakes it avoids

• Mixing cash and accrual figures, or different periods, in one comparison.
• Rounding or formula errors that do not tie back to totals.
• Giving personal investment advice.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: The first-year distribution to the sponsor was paid, and you need the actual return so far.

• Changed since last review. Each record that is new or changed, with its date and the figure it moved.
• Ownership check. Whether this is one sponsor and a simple management award, or whether another holder stopped the payout step.
• Management payout. Net equity, the hurdle, the participation and vested shares, the vested payout and the sponsor's exit receipt.
• Sponsor return. Entry, distribution and exit with dates, the IRR and the cash multiple. With uneven dates it says why no IRR is given.
• Branches. Which checks ran or were skipped, and the reason for each.
• Record for next review. The entry amount, ownership evidence, award version, vesting date, distribution dates and exit receipt, to paste into the next run.

How the work is checked

• Management payout plus the other holder's residual equals net equity.
• Every cash flow is on the right date and on the right side of the entry, and the distribution is not counted twice.
• Every input traces to a source, date, currency, scale and sign, or appears as MISSING.
• No annual IRR is quoted for dates that are not exact years.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Compare with the last review. Reads the saved record if it belongs to this deal, or sets a first baseline. Lists each new or changed record. If nothing changed, it says so and stops.
• Check who holds the equity. If a new rollover holder appears, it checks same-class ownership with the Rollover equity ownership checker. It then stops the sole-sponsor payout step until a complete holder split is supplied.
• Work out the management payout. Takes the fixed hurdle off net equity proceeds, floors the rest at zero, and applies the participation share and the vested share. The sponsor exit receipt is the other holder's share, not the full company value.
• Work out the sponsor return. Treats entry as the first outflow, the first-year distribution as a first-year inflow and the exit receipt as the second-year inflow. It computes a yearly IRR and a cash multiple only when the dates are exact years.
• Save and hand back. Saves the review files and a proposed new record, and keeps the old one. Lists every MISSING line and every check that did not run.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Your last approved review and its record (optional on a first run)
• The sponsor's entry cash, with its date
• The net equity proceeds after debt at exit, and the exit receipt date
• The first-anniversary distribution to the sponsor and its date, if there was one
• The management award terms, with the fixed hurdle, the participation share and the vested share
• Ownership records, if another rollover holder or an ownership change was reported (optional)
• The currency, the scale and the name of who signs off

Helpful context (optional)

• Bank records for the entry, distribution and exit cash, with dates.
• The signed award terms and the share register.
• A named reviewer and an explicit question.

Tools and access

• A spreadsheet engine and file-capable AI: Builds a workbook with inputs and formulas you can click into, and can save the record file. In plain chat it returns the same tables as text.
• A date-based IRR function such as XIRR: Needed when cash dates are not exact years apart. This review does not replace it.
• A spreadsheet tool and an AI that reads files: A return needs a full cash flow list. The AI should recalculate it and reopen the saved file.
• Any good chat AI: The sums are short, so the AI can show them line by line in the chat.
• A file-capable AI or a spreadsheet app: Needed only if you want an editable workbook with a checks tab.
• Node.js 20 or later (optional): Runs the bundled script that repeats the sums, as a second check.

  • A short note of what it removed for privacy
  • The two next steps, to save it and set it up

Tasks you can use it for

• The first-year distribution to the sponsor was paid, and you need the actual return so far.
• The exit receipt arrived, and you need the management payout and the sponsor's final IRR.
• A management award vested or its terms were amended, and the payout needs redoing.
• A new rollover holder shows up in the records, and you need to know if this review still applies.

Limits to check before starting

• There is more than one investor, or preferred shares with their own terms. Use the Preferred share payout reviewer, or supply a full ownership split first.
• You want to check a fund's carry or distribution waterfall. Use the No-catchup fund payout checker.
• You only need the management payout and have no sponsor cash dates. Use the Management equity payout checker.
• Your cash dates are not exact years apart and you need an annual IRR. This review will not quote one. Run a date-based IRR in a spreadsheet with its XIRR function.
• You want investment advice or a price view. This checks records and arithmetic only.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the agent pack and add it to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Use one that can read files. Add the checkers from the pack too.
• Say if this is a first run. If not, attach your last approved review and paste its record.
• Attach the entry, distribution and exit records and the award terms. Add ownership records if another holder was reported.
• Read "Changed since last review" first, and check each change against its record.
• Check the dates. If they are not exact years apart, expect a stop and not an IRR.
• Fill every MISSING line before anyone relies on a figure. Nothing is paid or sent. A named reviewer checks the sources.
