Fund Administration FAQs
What does FIN Books fund administration include?
Fund accounting and general ledger, cash, position, margin and FX reconciliations, trade-date investment accounting, an ASC 820 valuation policy with independent price verification, net asset value with a three-way tie-out, investor capital accounting with management fee, carried interest and high-water mark allocations, capital calls and distributions, investor statements and portal access, GAAP financial statements, and audit and tax workpaper support.
How much does fund administration cost?
Engagements are scoped rather than sold off a rate card. As a budgeting benchmark, SPVs run $750-$1,500 per month, an emerging fund on a quarterly close runs roughly $9,000-$10,000 per quarter, a monthly close runs roughly $4,000-$4,250 per month, and setup ranges from $2,500 to $24,500 depending on structure. See the fund administration cost benchmarks page for the full breakdown.
Is platform access included in the fee?
Yes. Every FIN Group fund administration engagement includes RegReview (Compliance OS, 3 users) and InvestPrep Essentials (Private Capital OS) at no additional license cost for the term. ADScanner marketing review is an optional add-on. On termination, platform access converts to standard subscription rates and record export is free.
Do you serve emerging managers launching a first fund?
Yes. Launch work is scoped as its own workstream: formation support, bank, broker and fund-accounting onboarding, subscription document workflow, AML/KYC provider selection, Form D and Blue Sky notice filings, and launch trackers through the initial closing.
Can FIN Group also serve as the fund's compliance officer?
Yes. A named Fund CCO or Fund Compliance Officer can be added to the administration engagement, so the filing calendar, marketing review, LP diligence responses, and the fund books sit inside one system instead of across three vendors.
Do you also handle the audit and tax return?
No — independence rules keep those separate. FIN Group prepares the books, NAV, and GAAP financial statements and supports your chosen audit and tax firms with PBC packages and workpapers. Audit and tax fees are third-party costs quoted by those firms.
