We automated the accounting for GP carry. Now we're delivering the visibility.

Last quarter  we introduced automated carry calculations to handle complex fund-to-GP allocations and journal entries. That release solved the backend challenge: ensuring your internal ledgers were accurate, synced, and audit-ready. But solving the accounting only addresses half the problem if your partners are still relying on you for regular updates.

Real-time performance metrics

The new GP Member Experience takes the live ledger data you are already generating—vesting schedules, capital commitments, and accrued carry—and surfaces it directly to your partners.

Partners can now log in to a dedicated portal to view their carried interest and track vesting tranches in real time. Because the system integrates directly with your fund administration and GP carry ledgers, the "unrealized gain" a partner sees on their screen matches the journal entries in your books exactly. This eliminates the risk of discrepancy between what finance reports and what partners perceive.

Unlocking transparency for GP members

GPs often lack a consolidated view into the most critical part of their compensation—carried interest. By delivering this visibility centrally, you remove the administrative drag of drafting individual emails or interpreting spreadsheets for partners. GPs get the immediate clarity they expect regarding their compensation, and you eliminate the friction of ad-hoc reporting. It transforms carry from a recurring administrative task into a continuous value driver for your firm.
