FundCount pricing starts at $14,450 annually for Fund Admin Incubator.[1] For a useful budget, choose the solution matching your operating model, then request an itemized quote. Compare the proposed license, implementation, hosting and expansion costs against your requirements rather than treating the lowest advertised figure as a universal package.
What are FundCount’s published starting prices?
Use the following figures to identify which offering to discuss with FundCount. Digital transformation and hosting fees are additional.[1]
| Solution | Annual starting price[1] |
|---|---|
| Single Family Office / Asset Owner | $35,899 |
| Multi-Family Office | $26,950 |
| Fund Admin Incubator | $14,450 |
| Fund Administration | $26,950 |
| Hedge Fund | $35,899 |
| Shadow Hedge Fund | $35,899 |
| Asset Management | $35,899 |
| Private Equity | $38,389 |
Incubator lists up to five funds, US$50M AUA per fund, one user, and $6,450 per additional fund.[1] Ask FundCount to explain how the included fund allowance and additional-fund charge apply to your proposed configuration, including eligibility as you grow.
Avoid selecting a row solely because its starting figure is lower. First establish whether the proposed scope matches a manager running its own books, an administrator serving clients, or an office reporting across family wealth.
What costs should go into a FundCount budget?
Digital transformation covers configuration, migration and training; hosting covers FundCount-run cloud infrastructure, where applicable.[1]
Request separate amounts and payment schedules for each proposed component. Ask which charges recur, which depend on milestones, and which assumptions could change the quote. Do not label an unspecified fee as one-time or recurring without written confirmation.
Use this worksheet for either vendor; it is a suggested budgeting structure, not a statement that every category attracts an additional charge.
| Budget component | What to request |
|---|---|
| Software | Named solution, included scope, contract term and renewal basis |
| Implementation | Configuration, historical data, opening balances and training deliverables |
| Hosting | Deployment arrangement, operational responsibilities and applicable charges |
| Data and reporting | Required feeds, report templates and any separately quoted work |
| Internal effort | Staff time for preparation, validation, training and parallel operation |
| Expansion | Written treatment of additional funds, entities, users and assets |
Build separate first-year and ongoing budgets. Include a contingency chosen by your team for unresolved scope, rather than applying an unsupported industry percentage. Keep unanswered questions visible beside the estimate.
Which FundCount solution should a manager, administrator or family office evaluate?
What should a fund manager test?
Begin with responsibility for the books. If your team prepares the accounting, request a demonstration from source transactions through allocations, review and investor outputs. If an external administrator remains responsible, ask to see the workflow for maintaining an independent record and investigating differences.
FundCount supports master-feeder allocations, multiple share classes, series accounting and side pockets.[4] Consider it a candidate when those structures are central to your requirements, then test the actual terms in your documents.
For private equity or another asset-management strategy, ask which named solution FundCount recommends and why. Bring a representative investment and a difficult allocation example; evaluate the result and the steps needed to produce it.
What should a fund administrator test?
FundCount supports open- and closed-ended client funds on one platform, with each client’s book logically isolated.[3] That makes it worth evaluating for an administration business seeking to operate different client books within one system.
Request a demonstration across two representative clients. Check how staff move between books, review exceptions and deliver each client’s reporting format. Ask how onboarding another client changes the proposed commercial scope.
Keep the purchasing role explicit: evaluate the software as the administrator operating it. Compare outsourced services separately, and ask who remains accountable for preparation, review and delivery under each proposal.
What should a family office test?
FundCount supports nested ownership across trusts, LLCs and partnerships, with eliminations on consolidation.[2] Consider it when ownership structures and consolidated reporting are major selection criteria.
Use an ownership chart to guide the demonstration. Ask to trace one investment through its holding entity to the relevant family reporting view. Then request individual-entity outputs and a consolidated view using the same example.
For a multi-family office, repeat the exercise across separate families and their access requirements. Evaluate the proposed configuration against those needs rather than assuming the lower starting price identifies a smaller or equivalent package.
When is Easefolio worth comparing with FundCount?
Easefolio self-serve costs US$299 per manager seat per month or US$2,990 per seat per year, excluding taxes.[5] Each manager seat covers every fund that manager runs, with no per-fund charge; read-only seats and unlimited investors are free.[5]
Use Easefolio pricing to build a budget around the managers who need write access. Evaluate the resulting scope against the FundCount proposal before drawing a cost conclusion.
Easefolio’s continuous general ledger posts subscriptions, trades, fees and distributions as they happen, so books, NAV and investor statements use the same numbers.[6] Review Easefolio fund accounting if your priority is a manager-operated ledger and its downstream outputs.
Easefolio is software; partial or full fund administration is offered separately by Black Mountain Solutions using Easefolio’s technology.[5] The done-for-you and fund administration tiers have no published price.[5] Request separate service scoping if your budget includes people performing the work.
For an emerging manager, start with the emerging-manager solution page. Use the Easefolio vs FundCount comparison for a broader evaluation and the emerging-manager software guide to structure a shortlist.
Give FundCount particular consideration for the client-book, ownership or allocation requirements described above. Include Easefolio when evaluating its documented accounting workflow and seat-based budget. Ask both vendors to demonstrate the same representative period before deciding which fits better.
What should we confirm before approving a quote?
Send a short requirements document rather than requesting a price without context. Include your entity chart, intended users, fund structures, asset types, reporting samples and preferred operating arrangement.
Ask for acceptance criteria covering opening balances, historical activity, sample allocations and final outputs. Identify who prepares the data, resolves discrepancies and signs off the migration. Confirm how historical records and exports will be handled.
For commercial clarity, request the contract term, invoicing schedule, renewal treatment and expansion assumptions in writing. Separate confirmed amounts from estimates and unresolved scope.
This is general budgeting information, not legal, tax or accounting advice. Confirm accounting treatment and operational responsibilities with your auditor, tax adviser or fund administrator, and contract questions with counsel.
What else do fund managers ask about FundCount pricing?
What should we send FundCount to get a useful quote?
Prepare an entity chart, fund and user counts, asset details, sample reports and your preferred deployment arrangement. Ask for a written scope showing what the proposed price covers.
Should a fund manager choose the cheapest FundCount option?
Choose by operational fit before price. Ask FundCount to confirm eligibility and demonstrate your manager workflow rather than assuming an administrator-oriented package is interchangeable.
How should a family office evaluate a FundCount quote?
Request a demonstration using your ownership structure and reporting requirements. Evaluate entity-level outputs, consolidated views and access arrangements for family members and advisers.
Can we divide an annual starting price by twelve?
Use that calculation only as an internal monthly budgeting equivalent. Confirm payment frequency, contract term and renewal conditions in the quotation.
How should we compare software with outsourced fund administration?
Separate software access from the work people perform. Ask who handles data preparation, reconciliations, calculations, review and investor delivery, and confirm responsibilities with your fund administrator.
How can we evaluate Easefolio with our own workflow?
Easefolio offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.[5] Start a trial and evaluate a representative workflow against your requirements before choosing a plan.
