You Choose Your Investments Carefully.

Why Not Be Just as Particular in Choosing Your Fund Administration and Accounting Partner.

One fund accounting and administration resource brings more to the table. More experience, more capability, more staff resources. It's Geller Investment Partnership Services.

More Experience

Geller & Company has been delivering private equity administration solutions for ten years. We've weathered business cycles, changing investment preferences and upheavals in regulation and tax codes. Today we serve dozens of clients with commitments ranging from $100 million to over $1 billion, including some of the most intricate investment partnerships ever devised.

Our expertise encompasses complex allocations, capital calls and distributions, capital account reconciliations, financial statements, tax return preparation (including K-1s), performance analytics and more.

You can be confident Geller & Company will grasp the needs of your business immediately. You'll also benefit from our business insights. Many of our clients even seek our advice on entity structure and fund formation.

More Capability

As you'd expect, Geller & Company is equipped to meet the needs of both general partners and fund managers. We're knowledgeable in working with all sorts of private equity entities including venture, buyout, mezzanine, co-investment, fund-of-funds, master feeder and real estate. And that's just for starters.

We're also expert at supporting the needs of limited partners and institutional investors, helping them instantly track and assess their investment portfolio and maintain their relationships with the underlying fund sponsors.

More Staff Resources

Will your service provider have the resources to handle work peaks like quarterly reports? Will they be able to get the K1s out so investors can file in time? Across our many practice specialties, Geller & Company has more than 350 professionals (CPAs, tax specialists, financial analysts, accountants and bookkeepers) on staff, more than any comparable firm.

Will they have the specialized expertise on staff to calculate foreign partner withholding or coordinate W-8, W-9 and 83(b) compliance? Geller & Company is located in the financial capital of the world and our staff expertise reflects the deep talent pool we draw upon.

Will they be ahead of the curve on technology? Geller & Company's on-staff savvy lets us choose among the top software platforms to build a customized, cost effective solution that delivers on-demand, real-time Web-based reporting 12/7. Other service providers may oblige you to settle for the less satisfactory, off-the-shelf capabilities of a single software provider.
