Venture Capital

This is Visual Accounting for Venture Capital, part of fund administration in Carta's ERP for Venture Capital. Your general ledger is like a black box, making it hard to trace complex financial flows and spot operational roadblocks. Carta's visual accounting for venture capital transforms your general ledger into a live interactive map of your firm's entire capital structure. It provides a complete unified overview of your entire connected network, seamlessly linking your assets, funds, and allocators.

Instead of digging through disconnected systems, you can click directly into any portfolio company to immediately access its summary view, performance metrics, and core documents all in one place. Understanding risk and concentration is critical for VC teams, but calculating a single startup's true exposure across a complex entity structure is notoriously difficult. With our new focus view, you can isolate a portfolio company like Heraclius to instantly filter out the noise and visualize its exact economic footprint across your entire fund network. The same powerful lens applies to your limited partners.

By focusing on a specific LP, your investor relations team can immediately see their total consolidated exposure and performance across all main funds and SPVs, eliminating manual spreadsheet rollups. Beyond visualizing economic value, Visual Accounting doubles as an operational health map. You can easily toggle from the financial view to active status overlays. Switching to the capital call layer provides a targeted drill down, allowing your finance team to instantly track funding progress, identify outstanding capital calls, and clear workflow bottlenecks.

Only Carta brings live venture capital fund accounting and critical operational workflows together, giving you the complete picture of your firm's financial and operational health in one single system of record.
