FAQs

What is fund accounting for venture capital?

Venture fund accounting is a highly specialized field of accounting that caters to the unique financial and reporting requirements of venture capital (VC) funds. While traditional accountants might focus on metrics like gross margin or cost of goods sold, venture capital accounting emphasizes internal rate of return (IRR), multiple on invested capital (MOIC), and fund-level financials.

Private equity funds must adhere to accounting standards such as GAAP or IFRS when preparing financial statements. These statements include income statements and balance sheets that accurately reflect the fund’s activities and financial position.

GAAP is a collection of commonly followed accounting rules and standards for financial reporting. The four financial statements required by GAAP are balance sheets, statements of shareholder and owner’s equity (or statement of net assets for nonprofits), statements of cash flows, and income statements.

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are accounting rules for public companies with the goal of making company financial statements consistent, transparent, and easily comparable around the world.
