Done-for-you · inside Carta
We run the work inside Carta.
Carta holds the records. We do the work inside it: the calls, the wires, the LP reporting.

Four things a fund record needs each quarter, each of them held by someone outside the fund: the portfolio company's marks, the closing set from counsel, an underlying fund's capital account statement and an investor's W-9. Each is fetched and seated in the record, one of them only after a second request. The tax pack goes the other way, out to the client's own preparer.
4 of 4 in hand
Every one of them lives with someone outside the fund, and Carta's own scope of services leaves the gathering with you.
The tax return is still your preparer's. The asking is ours.
Carta records what happened. Someone still has to make it happen - draft the notices, chase the wires, reconcile the accounts and write the update - and Carta's own scope of services is explicit that the someone is you.

New platforms for your team to learn
Recurring jobs we run inside it
Team that already knows your fund
From chasing it to done for you.
We do the work. You verify it.
- Working inside whatever you already run, and saying on the first call what that makes easy and what it makes impossible.
- Reading what the platform will give us, reconciling it, and doing the part the platform does not do.
- Carrying the access request through whichever gate stands in front of it, and telling you how long it actually takes.
- The platformDecides what leaves it. Addepar and Interactive Brokers issue a key you control. Orion, Black Diamond and Tamarac sit behind a partner gate, and the credentials are issued to the partner rather than to your firm. Schwab, Fidelity and Pershing take weeks and a signer validated against your Form ADV Schedule A.
- Your e-signature providerPublishes no reminder events, and its API consent needs the right plan, a go-live certification and your own administrator granting it.
- YouOwn every account and every credential. We are added to what you run; nothing moves to us.
Whether a job is two hours a month or impossible is decided by the platform you already run, and you get that answer on the first call rather than the third.
What we ask on the first call
The answers decide whether this is two hours a month or not something we should take on. You get that on the first call rather than the third.
- 01What holds the positions, the cap table and the documents today, and on which plans?
- 02Who at your firm can authorise an integration, and are they on Schedule A?
- 03Is there MFA, and who holds the second factor?
- 04Has anyone been through a partner gate for one of these before?

Two ways to work with us.
Have us run the recurring back office, or have us build you a system you own. We are what makes the administrator you already pay for usable by a two-person firm.

No, and we would rather you didn't. Carta stays your system of record and your setup stays exactly as it is. We work inside it.
Run it or build it. Both start here.

We are taking a small number of firms to begin with. Leave your email and we will come back with what we would handle, on what cadence, and what it costs.
