INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Accounting Services

Our CPA firm Green NFH, LLC focuses on providing assurance (audit and other attest services) and tax compliance services to funds, managers and traders.

We no longer offer accounting services to hedge funds, as we add the most value by focusing on assurance and tax services.

Green NFH, LLC offers these services:

• Tax compliance: Annual tax return preparation, including investor K-1s at year-end, plus management company and individual tax return preparation and planning for the owners; and
  
  
• Assurance (Audit & Attest): Annual audits or attest services including compilations and reviews, or performance of agreed-upon procedures, which are sometimes required by prime brokers, other financial counterparties or regulators. Read our new (12/4/12) blog: "Investors in hedge funds depend on “assurance” from quality independent CPA firms."
  

GreenTraderFunds.com works closely with other service providers:

• Accounting: We can recommend other service providers for monthly and annual accounting for the fund, including preparation of investor capital statements. The accounting provider should consult with you on setting up effective internal controls. Choosing a good accounting provider is key to acheiving financial reporting objectives, such as preparation of reliable financial statements. It's important to be sure your fund is auditable, when needed.
  
  Some incubator funds want to save on accounting fees and they choose to do their own accounting, or cut corners with unqualified service providers. This can render a fund unauditble, which defeats a purpose of the incubator fund. If you are okay using your incubator fund as your own retail trading vehicle, then just preparing annual income taxes may be all that is needed. Green NFH, LLC can perform this tax compliance on your incubator fund. We can also advise you on how to scale up again to accepting investors in the fund later on. The key is starting proper accounting books and records and becoming auditible for that period going forward.
