For fund managers
You keep the books. Your fund manager runs the fund from here.
Fund managers use Arther to run the fund day to day, working from the same numbers you keep. No exports, no emailed workbooks.
Review financials
Look over the fund’s financials without asking for another export or a fresh copy of the workbook.
Send statements
Publish statements to the investor portal from the fund record, so every number matches the books.
Plan capital calls and distributions
Plan upcoming capital calls and distributions, then review each investor’s share before anything goes out.
Illustrative examples
Investor portal
Investors help themselves. Your inbox gets quieter.
Every investor gets a self-service portal with their quarterly statements, K-1s, capital call notices, and other important documents, ready whenever they need them.
-
Quarterly statements
Posted each quarter from the same numbers you keep.
-
K-1s
Ready to download at tax time, instead of emailing PDFs one investor at a time.
-
Capital calls
Notices with the amount and due date, where investors can always find them.
-
Other important documents
Distribution notices, agreements, and fund updates, organized in one place.
Flexible distributions
Distributions as complex as the deal.
Simple pro-rata payouts or multi-tier waterfalls. Arther’s distributions are flexible enough to follow the way your operating agreement actually reads, and every investor’s share is laid out for review before anything is recorded.
- Pro-rata splits
- Return of capital
- Preferred returns
- Catch-ups
- Promote splits
- Multi-tier waterfalls
No more rebuilding the waterfall in a spreadsheet every quarter and hoping the formulas still point to the right cells.
Annual compliance
An annual compliance checklist, so year-end never sneaks up on you.
Each fund gets an annual compliance checklist that keeps the year’s filings, investor deliverables, and renewals in one list, so you can see what’s done and what’s next.
-
Filings and deadlines
Tax returns, K-1 deadlines, and state filings on one list for the year.
-
Investor deliverables
Statements and notices tracked quarter by quarter, so nothing gets missed.
-
One shared status
The accountant and the fund manager work from the same checklist.
Security
Built like a vault. Because you’re accountable for the numbers.
Built with tenant isolation, encryption at rest, and an audit log. Fund data stays with the fund, and every change leaves a trail.
Tenant isolation
Every company gets its own workspace. No shared views, no crossed wires.
Encryption at rest
Stored fund data is encrypted, so investor records aren’t sitting in the clear.
Audit log
Changes are recorded, so you can show a client or an investor who changed what, and when.
Review before record
Distributions are drafted and checked before anything is recorded as paid. A real control, not a cell formula.
SOC 2-aligned processes
Our security processes follow the SOC 2 framework today. We plan to complete an independent SOC 2 audit by a licensed CPA firm and share the resulting SOC 2 report.
The platform
One secure ledger, right beside the books you already keep.
Investors, capital, and distributions live in Arther. Your books stay in QuickBooks. No side spreadsheet, and no outside fund administrator.
An investor and capital ledger that lives with the fund
Commitments, contributions, and ownership for every investor in one record, not a workbook on someone’s desktop.
Review every distribution before it’s recorded
Arther calculates each investor’s share. You check the math, then record it. No hand-built allocation sheet.
Works alongside QuickBooks
Connect the QuickBooks company you already keep. Your books stay right where they are.
Secure, company-isolated access
Each company signs in to its own workspace. One fund’s data is never visible to another.

Questions
Straight answers.
What accountants and fund managers ask before they move a fund off the spreadsheet.
Who is Arther for?
Accountants and bookkeepers who run real estate funds with roughly 1 to 20 investors in QuickBooks and spreadsheets, and the fund managers they work with. Accountants keep the ledger, fund managers run the fund from the same place with dashboards and planning, and investors use the portal to get their own documents.
Do I have to replace QuickBooks?
No. You connect the QuickBooks company you already keep, and Arther works alongside your books instead of replacing them.
Can Arther handle waterfall distributions?
Yes. Distributions are flexible, from simple pro-rata payouts to multi-tier waterfalls with return of capital, preferred returns, catch-ups, and promote splits. Every investor’s share is shown for review before anything is recorded.
What can investors see in the portal?
Investors sign in to see their own quarterly statements, K-1s, capital call notices, and other important fund documents, without having to email you for them.
Does Arther replace my work as the fund’s accountant?
No. It takes the investor ledger and the distribution math out of the spreadsheet so you can review the numbers, record them, and keep the books in QuickBooks the way you do today.
Can other companies see the fund’s data?
No. Each company signs in to its own isolated workspace, and one fund’s data is never visible to another.
How is my data protected?
Arther is built with tenant isolation, encryption at rest, and an audit log, so the fund’s data stays with the fund and changes are recorded. Our processes are aligned with SOC 2, and we plan to complete an independent SOC 2 audit by a licensed CPA firm and share the resulting SOC 2 report.
Does Arther send money to investors?
Arther calculates each investor’s share so you can review the amounts first, then record the distribution once it has been paid.
Ready to retire the side spreadsheet?
Waterfalls, investor portal, dashboards, and compliance in one secure place, right alongside your QuickBooks.
