My AI Loan Servicing Journey – AI FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS REVEALED!!!

How GOLDERSUN uses Clik.ai to extract, organize, analyze, and elevate borrower financials & rent rolls

If you’ve ever worked inside a commercial loan servicing operation, you already know the drill: the loan documents are one thing—but the monthly and quarterly financial reporting from borrowers is something else entirely. PDFs, spreadsheets, scanned statements, property operating statements, rent rolls, trailing-12s, annual budgets, tax returns, variance explanations… it’s a firehose. And someone, somewhere in your shop, is responsible for sorting it, spreading it, validating it, reconciling it, analyzing it, and finally reporting the findings back to lenders or investors.

This is the part of servicing that hardly anyone outside our world understands. It’s tedious. It’s critical. It’s high-risk. And it is absolutely ripe for transformation. That’s what this edition of My AI Loan Servicing Journey is all about.

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on how we at GOLDERSUN Commercial Loan Servicing use Clik.ai to automatically extract financial and rent roll data, accelerate our spreading process, and turn raw borrower reporting into meaningful insight—faster, cleaner, and with far less frustration.

Welcome to AI Financial Statement Analysis Revealed!!!

Why financial statement analysis is the hidden backbone of loan servicing

Commercial loan servicing involves dozens of responsibilities—cash processing, reporting, inspections, tax monitoring, insurance, covenant compliance, special servicing triage, and more. But one of the most mission-critical responsibilities is financial performance monitoring. For income-producing real estate, the property is the collateral, and its income, expenses, occupancy and cash flow determine everything:

• The health of the loan

• The risk rating

• Covenant compliance

• Whether the DSCR is sufficient

• Whether a lockbox should activate

• Whether reserves should be swept

• Whether special servicing intervention is needed

• Whether maturity is realistically refinanceable

For decades, the industry has relied on human analysts to manually read PDFs, transcribe numbers, spread them into templates, reconcile line items, and calculate metrics. And while we have brilliant analysts in this industry, the process has been slow, error-prone, and expensive in human labor.

• Meanwhile, borrowers send financials in every imaginable format:

• Accrual or cash

• PDF or Excel

• Exported from Yardi, RealPage, AppFolio, QuickBooks, MRI, Entrata, or custom systems

• Scanned or digital

• With or without notes

• With new line items added every month

• The inconsistency is endless.

• As our portfolio grew, we realized we needed to modernize the entire workflow—not to replace people, but to give them superpowers.

That’s where Clik.ai entered the story.

Why GOLDERSUN selected Clik.ai

We evaluated a range of tools, from general-purpose OCR systems to embedded document-processing modules within servicing platforms. But we wanted something purpose-built for commercial real estate—something that understood NOI, CAM reimbursements, concessions, market vs. contract rent, tenant delinquency, expense recoveries, leasing costs, and the full CRE reporting ecosystem.

Clik.ai stood out because:

• It is built specifically for CRE underwriting, portfolio management, and servicing.

• It ingests entire borrower reporting packages and extracts structured data with impressive accuracy.

• It handles both property operating statements and rent rolls.

• It supports multi-document ingestion, which saves us hours per loan per cycle.

• It integrates with our workflows and exports clean data for downstream analysis.

• It creates metrics automatically—DSCR, DY, occupancy, collections, concessions, debt service, expense ratios, etc.

• It dramatically reduces manual data entry, freeing our analysts to focus on judgment, trend interpretation, borrower communication, and risk insights.

For a servicing business like GOLDERSUN—precision-driven, compliance-focused, and client-centric—Clik.ai became an undeniable accelerator.

How GOLDERSUN uses Clik.ai for financial and rent-roll analysis

Let’s walk through our typical process.

1. Borrowers submit financial statements & rent rolls

Every month or quarter or annually, depending on the loan agreement, borrowers send:

• Property operating statements

• Trailing 12 or trailing 3 reports

• Monthly actuals

• Annual budgets

• Rent rolls (point-in-time or monthly)

• Leasing reports (sometimes)

• Collections reports

• Variance explanations

These come in widely different formats—some clean, some messy, some scanned, some exported. Historically, this is where analysts spent the most time.

2. We upload the data package to Clik.ai

Clik.ai allows drag-and-drop uploads of entire reporting packages. Unlike traditional OCR tools that choke on variability, Clik.ai is trained on CRE financials. It understands:

• Revenue categories (base rent, CAM, percentage rent, parking income, etc.)

• Operating expenses (utilities, repairs, payroll, taxes, insurance, etc.)

• Net operating income (NOI)

• Capital expenditures vs. operating expenses

• Tenant-by-tenant rent roll details

• Lease terms, expirations, delinquency, concessions, recoveries

Once uploaded, Clik.ai processes everything in a matter of minutes.

3. Clik.ai extracts structured data automatically

This is the magic moment.

The system converts PDFs and spreadsheets into normalized datasets. It even handles scanned images through OCR + their proprietary AI mapping. The extracted dataset includes:

• Income lines, normalized and mapped

• Expense lines, normalized and mapped

• Total revenue

• Total expenses

• Net operating income

• Capital improvements

• Reserves (if included)

• Debt service (if provided)

• Net cash flow

• Rent roll structure: tenant name, suite, SF, lease start/end, rent, escalations, reimbursements, occupancy status, delinquency

• Occupancy percentages

• Delinquency totals

• Weighted average lease term (WALT)

This standardization is priceless. When you’re servicing 10, 50, or 500 loans—consistency is the difference between chaos and clarity.

4. Analysts review, validate & reconcile

AI is powerful, but human oversight remains essential—especially in financial stewardship roles.

Our analysts use Clik.ai’s interface to:

• Compare extracted data to the PDF

• Validate line-item correctness

• Add or correct new categories

• Resolve ambiguous OCR segments

• Annotate special circumstances (concessions, reimbursements, CAPEX spikes, unusual repairs, etc.)

• Ensure mapping to GOLDERSUN’s standardized chart of accounts

• Confirm tenant-level accuracy in rent rolls

This step transforms “machine output” into auditable, investor-quality servicing work product.

5. Automated metrics power our analysis

Here’s where Clik.ai really adds value to a servicing operation.

With validated data in place, the system automatically generates key performance indicators that we use for internal decision-making and lender reporting:

Core Metrics

• Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)

• Debt Yield (DY)

• Occupancy (%)

• Physical vs. economic occupancy

• NOI margin

• Expense ratio trends

• Collections and delinquency

Trendlines & comparatives

• Monthly or quarterly NOI movement

• Expense inflation vs. prior periods

• Seasonality patterns

• Rent roll rollover risk

• Expiring leases

• Concession activity

• Exposure by tenant/industry

• T-12 vs annualized trends

Risk triggers

• Declining DSCR

• Negative NOI trends

• Spikes in expenses

• Increases in delinquency

• Drop in occupancy

• Tenant bankruptcy or move-outs

Every lender and investor wants to know: Are we ahead of the risk or behind it? With this kind of data automation—we stay ahead.

6. GOLDERSUN creates internal and external reports faster and cleaner

Once Clik.ai produces clean structured data and analytics, we feed the insights into our servicing reports:

• Monthly asset summaries

• Quarterly lender reporting packages

• Portfolio health dashboards

• Watchlist evaluation

• Covenant compliance monitoring

• Borrower communication sheets

• Special servicing escalations

What used to take hours per loan now takes minutes, allowing our analysts to focus on interpretation and communication rather than mechanical data entry.

This is where AI shines:Humans make better decisions when machines handle the grunt work.

Workflow with Clik.ai

The value Clik.ai adds to a commercial loan servicer

After deploying Clik.ai, we saw clear benefits:

1. Speed: 60%–80% faster processing

Manual spreading can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours per financial package, depending on complexity.Clik.ai cuts most of that time. For high-volume portfolios, this is a game-changer.

2. Standardization = cleaner data

Borrower financials are famously inconsistent.Clik.ai normalizes them into one format, allowing us to:

• Compare assets

• Spot red flags

• Monitor trends

• Build dashboards

• Keep auditors happy

• Keep investors fully informed

AI-driven normalization ends the “every borrower does it differently” problem.

3. Fewer errors = less risk

Manual keying inevitably creates mistakes.AI reduces data transposition risk dramatically, and human review catches the rest.For lenders, fewer mistakes means:

• More reliable risk ratings

• Better forecasting

• Lower portfolio surprises

• Improved compliance

4. Stronger borrower and investor communication

When you have clean, real-time data, conversations change.Borrowers appreciate faster responses.Investors appreciate clearer narratives.Lenders appreciate proactive risk management.

Clarity builds trust.

Trust builds long-term business.

5. Analyst time shifts from clerical to analytical

Your best analysts weren’t hired to copy numbers from PDFs.They were hired to:

• Think

• Interpret

• Advise

• Forecast

• Strategize

• Identify risk

• Communicate with borrowers/lenders

Clik.ai frees them to do the work humans excel at.

Final thoughts: AI doesn't replace the servicer—it equips the servicer

This is the theme of my AI Loan Servicing Journey:AI is not replacing the servicer. It is empowering the servicer.

Borrowers still need humans.

Lenders still need humans.

Investors still need humans.

Workout scenarios especially require humans.

But what we don’t need is humans spending hours copying numbers from one sheet to another.

Clik.ai helps us:

• reduce the noise,

• surface the insights,

• and bring clarity to complex assets.

This is how servicing should be done.
