Private Capital Fund Administration

Your back office shouldn’t slow down your fund.

You raised the capital. You sourced the deals. Now the complexity of running the back office is pulling your team away from what actually drives returns. LP reporting, regulatory filings, audit coordination, investor communications: it adds up fast.

That’s the tension every CFO, CAO, and finance leader in private capital knows too well. And it’s exactly the problem we’re here to solve.

Kranz has been an incredible partner since day 1 of founding Maple VC. As a solo-GP managing multiple institutional funds with over 100 LPs, I wouldn’t be able to operate without them. Their full service support is invaluable — they truly act as core members of my team with a dedicated CFO, Sr Accountant and Accounting Manager that I can rely on at any time. I have trusted them for nearly 7 years and feel super privileged to have them on my side in building a top-tier franchise.

How we work

A process built around your fund’s lifecycle

Form a Foundation

We start by understanding your fund structure and operational gaps, then put the right systems and compliance infrastructure in place from day one.

Invest for Success

As your fund deploys capital, we manage performance tracking, cash management, and LP communications to keep everything running on schedule.

Harvest the Benefits

As investments mature, we handle distributions, carry calculations, and the reporting complexity that comes with realizations.

Dissolve and Terminate

When it’s time to wind down, we manage every detail to ensure key deadlines are met and all processes are properly closed out.

Let’s Connect

The cost of the wrong partner shows up everywhere

If your current approach to fund administration isn’t working, you already know it. Investor reports going out late. Ad hoc requests piling up. Your team spending weekends reconciling data that should have been clean weeks ago.

The consequences aren’t just operational, they’re reputational. LPs notice. Auditors notice. And when your next fundraise is on the line, your back office either builds confidence or erodes it.

If you’re evaluating fund administrators or finally ready to leave a frustrating one, let’s talk.
