Custodian recon and closefor asset managers.

Managers reconcile custodian feeds to fund and firm GL, onboard complex family-office structures, and close the management company books under auditor scrutiny. FinanceAI quotes custodian line references in matches and keeps beneficial ownership visible for AML programs.

SEC custody and advertising rules for advisers, AML program requirements, and Form ADV disclosures — general compliance context only.

Challenges in asset & wealth managers

  • Multiple custodians, one firm GL

    Fidelity, Schwab, and Pershing files use different tags for the same economic movement.

  • Family office structures

    Trusts and LLC stacks obscure beneficial owners without a graph view.

  • Management fee accruals

    AUM swings drive revenue flux that needs documentation.

Questions

Fund-level vs firm-level?

Pilots can target firm GL first; fund accounting feeds can be added when custodian mappings exist.

Do you calculate NAV?

No — FinanceAI focuses on reconciliation, KYC evidence, and close, not portfolio accounting.
