IDEAL FOR NEW & EMERGING MANAGERS
Institutional CFO infrastructure—with a fee structure designed for growing funds.
Right-sized fees
Access experienced CFO coverage without immediately carrying the fixed cost of a full internal finance department.
Automation creates efficiency
Custom HedgeArc software automates recurring work, allowing us to deliver broader coverage efficiently as the manager grows.
Built for institutional growth
Documented controls, consistent reporting and organized records help managers meet increasing due-diligence expectations.
INSTITUTIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Control across every financial workstream.
HedgeArc becomes the connective layer between the manager, fund administrator, auditors, tax advisers, brokers and other service providers.
OPERATOR EXPERIENCE
Software built from decades inside hedge fund finance.
HedgeArc’s systems start with the work itself: launching managers, overseeing NAVs, maintaining shadow records, coordinating providers, supporting audits, managing the operating company and preparing firms for institutional diligence.
Practical CFO and operating experience defines the control objective.
Custom software replaces fragile spreadsheets and disconnected processes.
AI-assisted processing identifies, organizes and drafts—with human review.
Systems, records and procedures move seamlessly to an internal CFO.
CUSTOM SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION
We build the software we use to perform our duties.
HedgeArc implements custom, process-driven software around each manager’s funds, providers, controls and reporting requirements. Automation replaces fragile spreadsheets, reinforces our work and creates a consistent operating record.
The software, documented workflows and historical data provide continuity when the manager is ready to transition to an internal CFO or controller.
Position, pricing, cash and P&L controls in one accountable month-end workflow.
