We keep your back office operationally connected to the firm and its funds.

GPFS provides management company and investment advisor operations that integrate directly with your fund administration — so the firm entity and the funds it manages operate from the same data foundation.

For private market managers, the management company and the funds are financially intertwined. Management fees, carried interest, intercompany allocations, and expense allocations connect the two entities in ways that matter for tax, audit, and LP reporting.

Most managers handle them separately — one system for the fund, another for the firm. GPFS handles both, which eliminates the reconciliation overhead that comes from splitting them.

Capabilities

Budgeting & Cash Flow Forecasting

For emerging managers: cash flow models for confident decisions in capital-constrained years. For mature managers: modeling fee ratchets, new product launches, and distribution timing on firm-level cash.

Accounting & Reporting

Institutional-grade books and records for the investment advisor entity — general ledger, financial statements, compliance reporting, and clean audit preparation.

Intercompany Billing

Management fee calculations, expense allocations to funds, and intercompany settlement — with the accuracy that fund documents require and auditors examine.

CFO Support

For managers without an internal CFO, GPFS functions as the de facto finance leader. For managers with CFOs, we provide the bandwidth that role consistently needs: LP data requests, regulatory support, and periodic analysis.

Payroll & AP/AR

Payroll coordination with third-party providers. Accurate processing of firm-level payables and receivables with expertise in expense allocations to fund products.

Treasury

Banking relationships, account management, wire processing, cash reporting, and treasury policy development — for both new and established managers.

Governance works best when it's connected to fund administration.

Regulatory reporting draws from the same data that informs your financial statements. Board reporting uses the same performance data your LPs see. When governance and fund admin share a data source, the risk of inconsistency across filings drops substantially.
