About Room Zero

Built by practitioners. Shaped by clients.
Trusted by the industry

Room Zero was founded by investment management practitioners: people who spent their careers designing and delivering data, finance, and distribution solutions across some of the UK's largest asset managers. They knew the right platform didn't exist, so they built it.

Trusted by leading investment managers

What we believe

"I have learnt more about my area of the business in the past 15 minutes than I have in the last 18 months."
GAM Investments
Regional Sales Head

Finance and Distribution should never be working from different data

Ending up with different AUM figures is what happens when the calculation layer underneath was never built to give both teams the same answer.

Accurate numbers and timely numbers shouldn't be a trade-off

Investment managers have been choosing between fast numbers and accurate numbers for decades. With Room Zero, month-end takes two days.

Meet Room Zero

After two decades facing these challenges, we built the platform we'd always needed.

Room Zero began as a consulting firm in 2017, founded by practitioners who had spent their careers inside the problem. By 2021, a SaaS platform was born, crystallising everything they had learnt the hard way. The platform has kept evolving since to meet client needs and solve investment managers’ biggest challenges.

“Room Zero AUM has given our distribution teams greater visibility across all client assets.”

Mark started his career in offshore custody and fund management before graduating into the tech crash of 2002 — which meant picking up genuine front-to-back experience across asset management. He's since spent the majority of his career delivering Front Office, Distribution, Finance, and post-M&A integration programmes as both a project manager and business analyst.
