Archway Platform vs FundCount

Archway Platform is paid web software that combines investment aggregation, accounting, and reporting on one general ledger. The same ledger serves as both investment and accounting books of record. It aggregates public and private markets, liquid and illiquid assets, and held-away and managed positions, with performance, investor, and multi-currency reporting. Accounting workflows include invoice intake, approval routing, vendor verification, fraud controls, payments, and reconciliation. Fund administration records agreement-based waterfall calculations as journal entries and provides capital accounts and K-1 summaries. Carried-interest tools cover grants, vesting, forfeitures, scenario modeling, and distributions with traceable allocations. A branded client portal uses the same ledger and includes approvals. Supported structures include trusts, LLCs, partnerships, foundations, private funds, fund of funds, mutual funds, pooled cash vehicles, omnibuses, and individuals. Pricing is on request under fixed annual pricing based on entities, services, and users.

FundCount combines portfolio, partnership, and general ledger accounting for investment analysis and reporting. Its portfolio engine covers listed securities, fixed income, OTC derivatives, private equity, real estate, and alternatives; partnership tools handle capital accounts, allocations, waterfalls, fees, and profit splits. Reporting ranges from tables and charts to complex visualizations, and client community members can access sample reports through the Report Encyclopedia. The ETL Importer accepts Excel, CSV, text, and XML, alongside interfaces with banks, brokers, and custodians. Deployment options include on-site, public or private cloud, and fully managed SaaS. The investor portal provides permissioned access, document delivery, and multi-factor authentication. FundCount says it serves family offices, fund administrators, hedge funds, and private equity firms. Plans start at $14,450/yr, with digital transformation and hosting fees additional. There is no free plan or trial; the company offers guided proof-of-concept sessions using prospective customers' own data and reports.
