How Verivest Simplifies the Fund Accounting Process for Fund Managers

For many fund managers, fund accounting can feel like a maze of complex calculations, compliance regulations, and financial reporting requirements. The reality is that other firms often make this process more complicated and overwhelming than it needs to be—leading to frustration, costly errors, and wasted time.

At Verivest, we take a different approach. Our Onboarding Team works hand-in-hand with fund managers to ensure a smooth and stress-free transition through the First Accounting Cycle (FAC). Instead of leaving fund managers to navigate the complexities alone, we provide structured support, clear communication, and a streamlined accounting process.

Why Fund Accounting Feels Overwhelming

Many fund managers find themselves struggling with fund accounting due to:

  • Confusing Terminology: Accruals, carried interest, NAV calculations, waterfalls—without guidance, these can be hard to grasp.
  • Strict Compliance Regulations: Regulatory bodies require detailed and accurate financial reporting.
  • Multiple Investor Contributions and Distributions: Managing cash flow between investors, fees, and fund expenses is complex.
  • Lack of Standardized Processes: Many firms provide minimal guidance, leaving fund managers to figure things out on their own.

If handled incorrectly, these challenges can lead to reporting errors, investor dissatisfaction, and compliance risks.

Verivest’s Solution: A Clear & Guided Fund Accounting Process

At Verivest, we believe fund accounting shouldn’t be a roadblock to your fund’s success. That’s why our Onboarding Team is there to guide fund managers through every step of their First Accounting Cycle.

1. Personalized Onboarding Support

From day one, our Onboarding Team ensures fund managers understand the fund accounting process. We provide:

  • A step-by-step breakdown of what to expect in the First Accounting Cycle
  • A checklist of required documents and guided communication on reporting deadlines  
  • Proactive follow-ups to keep fund managers on track

2. Hands-On Guidance Through the First Accounting Cycle (FAC)

One of the biggest pain points for fund managers is getting through the First Accounting Cycle. Other firms often leave clients to fend for themselves, but Verivest stays with fund managers until their first cycle is successfully completed. We ensure:

  • Accurate financial reporting to meet compliance standards
  • Timely investor statements that instill trust
  • Smooth reconciliation of transactions and cash flows
  • A structured approach to NAV calculations and fee allocations

  • Ongoing compliance with SEC and regulatory requirements
  • Seamless audits and investor due diligence preparation
  • Consistent, reliable accounting workflows
