SolutionsFamily Offices

Seven entities, one reconciled record.

Your office already knows what it owns. The cost is the assembly: statements chased, private notices keyed in, entity structures reconciled by hand before every meeting. Abacus takes that work, for good.

Today

The quarter closes when someone finishes the spreadsheet.

  1. 01Fourteen portals, exported by hand each month
  2. 02Capital calls keyed twice, once for cash and once for the model
  3. 03Entity changes reconciled from memory before each meeting
  4. 04The CPA asks for the same file three times in March
With Abacus

The quarter is already closed when you open it.

  1. 01Every custodian feeds daily, exceptions cleared by our team
  2. 02Calls logged against the fund and reflected in liquidity same day
  3. 03Entity and permission changes handled as service requests
  4. 04The CPA has scoped access and stops calling

What the service team takes on.

Your reporting should not walk out the door with your controller.

Not a support queue. A named service lead and data lead who know your structure and do the recurring work inside it, so the knowledge sits with the account rather than with one person on your payroll.

Governance

Generations see different things, on purpose.

Permissions are set per person and per entity, revocable at any time, and every view is logged. A G3 member can follow the household summary without seeing the trust that funds it.

Continuity

The record outlives the staff who built it.

When a CFO retires or an advisor changes, the structure, history, and documents stay where they are. Nothing gets carried out with someone's spreadsheet.

For the CIO

Performance, in peer context.

A number on its own does not answer the committee's question. Trailing returns sit against the benchmarks you actually report to, and against the blend your policy statement defines.
