Accounting Services:

Our main goal is to tailor our accounting solutions to the very specific needs of our clients, not to force feed standardized services to clients and insist on minimums. We start with important listening and consultation sessions. Sometimes a client needs specialized accounting software (and we have a few low-cost ones) and other times they don't (e.g., if a client uses prime brokers). Another important point is that our clients usually don’t require the added high-cost services of an “administrator.”

What we offer: Every hedge fund needs to prepare net asset value (NAV) and other accounting reports for their investors, as often as monthly and at a minimum annually. Learn the challenges of investor-level accounting for hedge funds in our "Accounting for investment management businesses" Webinar. We use excellent software for hedge funds and managed accounts. We have highly experienced CPAs conducting monthly and annual accounting work for these businesses. Our reports for your investors are well designed; investors can login to a secure Web site to see the results quickly each month. They will be very pleased!

Our CPAs provide reconciliation for trades, cash, portfolio position, portfolio valuation, dividends, interests, corporate actions and custodial capital accounts. We prepare monthly accounting based on needs for investment management business, managed account reporting for managed accounts, and monthly NAV reports on timely basis. Our reports include a performance record. For some incubator fund clients, we lower our price by performing quarterly rather than monthly accounting.

We calculate monthly P&L allocation to investors. We can assist with investors subscriptions and redemptions, with cutting edge technology for secure online investor reporting. We maintain ongoing communication and relationship with brokerage, investors, investor service group, auditors, and with our team of attorneys and tax consultants. We provide assistance to the funds' audit, banking audit, and other compliance reporting.

Why throw money after providers who don’t really want your business? There is a better way – the GreenTraderFund way! We cut out the need for administrators and provide all the necessary help with accounting and taxes.

Many of our clients were very successful retail traders and decided to launch a hedge fund. They chose to keep using their trusted online broker, who does not use enhanced reporting like a prime broker. No problem – using our specialized (low-cost) software choices, we can make use of their retail brokerage reports and generate all the accounting and tax reports we need.

Other traders chose to start their hedge funds utilizing the value-added services of a boutique prime broker. Many of our boutique prime brokers offer capital introductions (marketing to investors), leverage, lending, short sales and other services catering to the needs of hedge funds. Plus, they offer excellent rates and customer service.

For the start-up hedge fund, there's no better choice. Select your best brokers and leave the rest to us.

Hedge fund accounting and tax rules vary significantly and it's wise to use one service provider – such as GreenTraderFunds – to reconcile the two (allocations, mark-to-market accounting and more). GreenTraderFunds offers very attractively priced accounting and tax solutions for incubator funds, start-ups and smaller hedge funds.Our professionals are highly experienced in all types of funds: domestic, international, securities, commodities/futures, Forex, private equity and other special-purpose funds.
