When Fredrik Strömberg and his colleagues set out to build Essoge, a boutique multi-family office, they knew that getting the reporting infrastructure right wasn't optional. It was foundational. With over 25 years of industry experience across some of Sweden's most prominent advisory firms, Fredrik had seen firsthand what poor reporting cost in time, trust, and ultimately clients. Essoge was built to do things differently from the start.
Essoge serves a small number ofhigh-net-worth families with a highly tailored, long-term advisory model. Fromthe outset, the team wanted to offer their clients something rare in theindustry: a truly consolidated view of their entire wealth, spanning listedassets, private holdings, real estate, and forest properties, regardless ofwhere those assets were held.
The legal reporting side wasalready handled by their custodian. But that covered only part of the picture.The team needed something that could bring everything together and present itin a way that reflected the quality of their advisory offering.
"The badwill is so muchgreater than the goodwill if something goes wrong," Fredrik explains."One incorrect figure and clients don't just lose faith in the report.They lose faith in us."
Having spent years evaluatingreporting systems across multiple markets and firms, Fredrik approached thesearch with clear criteria: flexibility, data quality, and a team that trulyunderstood the complexity of multi-asset wealth management.
The path to Jay came through anunexpected route. While evaluating another portfolio system provider, thevendor themselves suggested Jay as a better fit. "They said: we'reprobably not the right solution for you, but there's a Finnish system calledJay Solutions that works with this type of firm," Fredrik recalls."That kind of honesty was itself a good signal."
"We felt that Jay spokethe same language," says Fredrik. "These were not salespeople pushinga product they barely understood. They had a background in the industry. Theyknew what we were dealing with."
The combination of platformflexibility, data quality, consolidated reporting across asset classes, and aprice point that made sense for a newly launched firm sealed the decision. Jaybecame one of the first investments Essoge made as a business.
From the beginning, Essoge andJay worked closely together to build something that reflected Essoge's standardof client service. A team of four Jay analysts collaborated with the Essogeteam to craft a monthly investor report that was pixel perfect, fully tailoredto each client's preferences and holdings.
"If we say we work withthe whole picture, we need to actually show it," Fredrik explains."We can't tell clients we manage everything and then hand them an Excelwhen it comes to reporting."
For Essoge, the value of Jay ismost visible not in what the platform does, but in what it eliminates. The teamcan trust that the data is accurate without double-checking it themselves,freeing them to focus on the advisory work that actually differentiates them.
That confidence has a directcommercial impact. Essoge uses the platform as part of their sales process,demonstrating to prospective clients what a consolidated wealth overview lookslike in practice.
"The value isn't justin what we gain," Fredrik reflects. "It's in what weak reportingwould have cost us. Clients we couldn't have won, and clients we might havelost."
Essoge's ambition is to growcarefully, adding a handful of clients per year, each with a deeplypersonalised service. That model puts a premium on everything being tailored,and Jay's upcoming J-Ray views are squarely aligned with that direction.
"Our whole offer isbuilt on the idea that clients are not the same," says Fredrik. "Theability to customise what each client sees when they log in. That's exactlywhere we want to go."
