Servicing & MSR Advisory

Institutional oversight for your servicing book.

MSR and master servicing oversight, servicing accounting and finance build-out, and transaction support — senior discipline on demand, without adding headcount.

What We Do

Four ways we strengthen a servicing operation.

Built for firms that need senior servicing and MSR discipline but can’t justify a full-time bench.

MSR & Master Servicing Oversight

Subservicer and counterparty oversight programs, performance scorecards, remediation management, and alignment with CFPB, OCC, and state expectations — the oversight regulators now require of every MSR owner who outsources servicing.

Servicing Accounting & Finance Build-out

MSR valuation and mark support, investor accounting, month-end close, reconciliations, management and board reporting, and controls/SOX design — a servicing-CFO’s toolkit, built or rebuilt.

MSR Transaction Advisory

Buy- and sell-side diligence, data-tape and stratification review, valuation support, and servicing-transfer project management — always as your advisor, never as principal or counterparty.

Fractional Servicing CFO

Senior finance and oversight leadership on demand — between hires, during a transfer, or while scaling a retained servicing book.

Who We Serve

How We Work

Assess. Build. Oversee.

Step 01 · Assess

Diagnose the gap

A fixed-fee review of your oversight or servicing-finance function against regulatory and institutional standards — with a gap report and a roadmap.

Step 02 · Build

Stand it up

We build the framework, the models, and the controls — documented, reconciled, and defensible under examination or diligence.

Step 03 · Oversee

Run it or hand it off

Ongoing oversight or fractional-CFO support — or a clean handoff to your team once the discipline is in place.

Saltwater is an advisory firm — not a licensed servicer, MSR holder, or lender. We build and oversee; we don’t hold or service your assets. That keeps us focused on your discipline, your controls, and your outcomes.

Scaling a servicing book? Let’s pressure-test it.

Bring us the portfolio, the transfer, or the oversight gap — we’ll tell you honestly what it needs.
