Consolidated Investment Reporting
Reporting that comes from accounting. Not reporting layered on top of it.
Most reporting platforms aggregate data, apply a reporting layer and deliver a polished view. The presentation is excellent. The reconciliation back to the source is a different question.
Archway's consolidated investment reporting comes from the same general ledger that closes the books. The investment book of record and the accounting book of record are the same ledger so every figure on every report traces to a specific journal entry. Performance, attribution, asset allocation, look-through entity reporting are all drawn from the same source. No reconciliation gap between the consolidated investment reporting and the accounting. No separate layer to maintain, break or explain.
The problem we're solving
The reporting challenge isn't presentation. It's what happens when someone traces a number.
Most firms run two sets of reporting. The investment book tracks positions, performance and attribution. The accounting book closes the financials and holds the audit trail. Both are necessary. The problem is they come from different systems never built to agree with each other perfectly.
The reconciliation runs every quarter. Sometimes it closes cleanly. Sometimes it doesn't, and when the principal questions a figure or the auditor traces a number back to source, the seam between the two books is where confidence breaks down.
Archway eliminates the problem at the architectural level. Not by improving the reconciliation process, by removing the need for one. The two books don't need to agree, because there is only one.
How it works
The investment reporting stack, without the reconciliation problem.
Three ways to run reporting
The model changes who runs the reporting function. The general ledger doesn't change.
Every firm runs on the same platform, the same general ledger, the same book of record — regardless of how they choose to deploy. The three models reflect different operational arrangements, not different tiers of access. Every report is drawn from the same source in every model.
Technology
Your team runs reporting on the platform.
Your reporting team manages aggregation, reconciliation and report production through the Archway Platform — with full access to the general ledger and every capability the platform carries. Archway provides implementation, ongoing platform support and a dedicated client team. The work stays in-house. The infrastructure is ours.
Outsourced
Archway's team runs the reporting function. Your team retains full visibility.
Archway's reporting team runs aggregation, reconciliation, report production and distribution on the same platform your team logs into. You see everything in real time. The book of record is yours. The operational burden isn't.
Hybrid
Your team runs what makes sense to run in-house. Archway handles the rest.
Your reporting team runs the straightforward positions in-house — public markets, managed accounts, held positions with direct data feeds. Archway handles reconciliation of alternatives, held-away assets, complex private investment structures. Because both teams work on the same general ledger, the split doesn't create a reconciliation step between what your team produces and what Archway produces.
Who runs consolidated reporting on Archway
One general ledger. The integrity of the report doesn't change regardless of who's running it.
Single family offices, multi-family offices, private banks and private fund managers all run consolidated investment reporting on the same platform — same general ledger, same book of record, same architecture underneath. How each segment delivers the report is specific to them.
For the household that needs the complete picture — every entity, every account, every position in one consolidated view.
Look-through reporting across trusts, LLCs and family partnerships. Direct feeds from every custodian, bank and account the household uses. The principal sees the complete picture. The auditor sees the journal entries that produced every figure.
Clients stay for the team

FAQ's
The questions we hear most. Answered directly.
How is Archway different from reporting-only platforms?
Archway is differentiated by its ledger-based approach to investment reporting and accounting. Rather than treating investment reporting as a separate layer disconnected from the accounting record, Archway draws reporting from the same general ledger. For firms managing complex entities, private investments, held-away assets, and multi-level ownership structures, this creates a clearer connection between reporting, accounting, and operational oversight.
How is pricing structured?
Archway's consolidated investment reporting fees are based on scope, including entities, portfolios, position count, report types, and service model. Pricing is not based on assets under management. Specific pricing is provided after an initial conversation and scoping process.
Can our team run the reporting function, or does Archway run it?
You have options. Your team can run the reporting function directly, Archway’s team can manage it through outsourced services, or the engagement can be structured as a hybrid model. All three models run on the same platform, general ledger, and book of record. The model changes who does the work. The data does not change.
Who is responsible for reconciling the data from the various custodians, banks, and alternative fund managers?
Responsibility depends on the chosen operating model. When outsourced services are in scope, Archway’s team processes data feeds, reviews exceptions, and supports the reconciliation workflows required for periodic reporting. In technology or hybrid models, responsibilities are defined during scoping based on how your team wants to operate.
How does the platform handle alternative and private investment reporting?
Capital account statements, quarterly letters, K-1s, and partnership reports can be ingested directly into the Archway Platform rather than maintained in a separate system. These positions live in the same book as public markets positions, supporting a more complete consolidated view across traditional and alternative investments.
How does look-through entity reporting work?
Look-through reporting starts with the entity structure. Ownership relationships between trusts, LLCs, partnerships, and other vehicles are mapped directly into the general ledger. Because the ownership hierarchy lives in the system rather than a separate model, the platform can trace economic exposure through direct and indirect holdings across the structure. The result is a consolidated view at the entity, household, principal, or customized grouping level that reflects economic ownership, not just what is held at the top.
What asset classes and position types does the reporting cover?
Archway supports reporting across public equities, fixed income, cash via direct feeds, private equity, private credit, real (personal) assets, loans, liabilities, real estate, and co-investments via direct upload or manual entry. Alternatives are processed inside the platform, not in a separate module or external system.
How does Archway's investment reporting differ from platforms that layer reporting on top of a third-party accounting product?
Archway’s consolidated investment reporting is supported by the same general ledger that closes the books. The investment book of record and accounting book of record are not maintained as separate systems. They are the same ledger viewed from different reporting and accounting perspectives. That gives teams a clear connection between what appears on the report and what is recorded in the books.
