Fund Accounting Services

Fund accounting is ordinary accounting with unforgiving edges: valuation policy, allocation between partners and disclosure that has to survive an audit. We keep the books at investment level, maintain the capital accounts and prepare the statements the auditor expects to see.

Fund accounting for private equity and venture capital

Fund accounting is not general ledger work with a different label. It exists to give investors accountability and transparency: accurate tracking of investments, capital calls and distributions aligned with the partnership agreement, rather than a record of business income and expenses.

We handle private equity fund accounting under IFRS and GAAP, partnership accounting for general and limited partners, accounting for private equity investments with portfolio performance reporting, and venture capital accounting for seed, early and growth-stage funds.

Reporting, audit and compliance

Deliverables include investor reporting packages and fund communication support, audit-ready financial statements, coordination with auditors and private equity accounting firms, and packages scaled to funds of any size.

Where real-time visibility matters, we run fund reporting on Xero cloud accounting as a Silver Partner, so managers and investors are not waiting on a quarter-end file to understand position.

FAQs

Fund Accounting: questions we are asked most

How does fund accounting differ from company accounting?+

Fund accounting is built around accountability to investors: capital accounts, allocations, valuations and performance by investor and by investment, rather than a single set of trading results.

Do private equity funds need specialised fund accounting?+

Yes. Capital call and distribution mechanics, waterfall and carried interest allocations and bespoke investor reporting all have to follow the partnership agreement rather than a standard template.

Which funds typically need a fund accountant in Hong Kong?+

Private equity and venture capital funds, real estate funds, mutual funds and pension vehicles: anywhere multiple investors need independent, auditable reporting of their position.

Can fund accounting be outsourced?+

Yes, and most managers do. Outsourcing gives independent record keeping, audit-ready statements and cover for peak periods without building an internal finance team.

What should we look for in a fund accounting provider?+

Experience with your fund type and reporting standard, a documented NAV and valuation process, audit coordination capability and multilingual investor reporting.
