A full breakdown of what each tier covers, how they differ, what you receive, and how the team behind it is structured.
Vector already produces the underlying financial data through Fund Administration and Management Company Services. Admin+ builds on top of that foundation with a dedicated Financial Lead who owns budgeting, forecasting, financial interpretation, and day-to-day coordination across your firm.
Admin+ comes in three tiers. Essential gives you structured operational finance coverage on a defined cadence. Partner adds forward-looking analysis, scenario modeling, and senior advisory support for complex strategic questions. Flex is a client-directed engagement where scope and focus areas are set collaboratively and can shift over time as your firm's needs evolve.
This page breaks down all three so you can decide.
| Work type | Handled by | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fund accounting and investor reporting | Fund Administration | NAV, capital accounts, K-1s, waterfall, LP portal via Valence |
| Management company bookkeeping | ManCo Services | General ledger, payables, payroll coordination |
| Financial planning and operational finance leadership | Admin+ | Budgeting, forecasting, financial review, coordination, and strategic advisory |
| Scenario modeling and complex strategic finance | Admin+ Partner only | Hiring models, fundraising scenarios, carry planning, firm-level financial planning |
| Investment decisions and portfolio management | Not covered | Admin+ does not provide investment advice or portfolio management |
Both tiers include a dedicated Financial Lead and operational execution support. The difference is in cadence, depth of analysis, and access to senior advisory for complex strategic questions.
Structured operational finance coverage. Review, coordination, and visibility on a defined quarterly and monthly cadence.
Everything in Essential, plus forward-looking analysis, scenario modeling, and senior advisory for complex strategic decisions.

Flexible, client-directed financial support across defined priority areas. Scope and focus shift as your firm's needs evolve.
Admin+ Flex allows firms to allocate support across budgeting, financial planning, reporting, fundraising support, and operational finance workflows based on their specific needs. Rather than a fully bundled service tier, work is prioritized collaboratively and can shift over time as business needs evolve.
The engagement provides access to both strategic finance leadership and execution support, enabling a tailored mix of guidance and implementation suited to where your firm is right now.
Support may include targeted financial analysis, model development, fundraising support, workflow buildout, and ongoing finance function support, with scope and focus areas adjusted on a recurring basis.

Every deliverable is designed so your team can actually use it. No cobbling data together before a meeting, no hunting across systems for a number. The information you need is ready, organized, and interpreted.
Your firm's complete financial picture in one place, every month. Walk into any GP or board conversation knowing exactly where you stand on budget, cash, fees, and runway without pulling it together yourself beforehand.
See not just what you spent, but why it differs from plan. Variances are classified and explained so you can tell the difference between a timing issue, a real overage, and a data error before it becomes a problem.
Know what is coming in and going out, and when. Minimum cash thresholds and scenario cases mean you are never surprised by a liquidity squeeze and can plan capital activity with confidence.
AUM, deployment pace, fee coverage, burn multiple, and runway in one view. The metrics that matter to LPs, to your team, and to your next fundraise, tracked consistently so you can spot trends before they become talking points.
Portfolio data collected, standardized, and ready to use. No more chasing companies for numbers the week before a board meeting or LP update. Period-over-period comparisons surface what is actually changing across the portfolio.
A documented, repeatable close process that keeps your firm audit-ready at all times. Wire logs, vendor master, LP reporting checklists, and money movement controls maintained so nothing falls through the cracks at quarter end.
Base case and downside scenarios across hiring, management fee changes, and capital timing. Use it to pressure-test a decision before you make it, not to explain what went wrong after the fact.
Understand exactly what a new hire costs your firm across compensation, timing, and runway before you make the offer. Helps GPs make people decisions grounded in financial reality rather than instinct.
LP-ready financial content prepared and delivered by your Financial Lead. Walk into investor conversations with materials that are accurate, consistent, and already formatted. No last-minute assembly required.
Whether Admin+ Essential, Partner, or Flex is the right fit, we'll walk through your situation and help you figure out what makes sense.
