Tactyc now integrates directly with Carta Fund Admin, allowing you to automatically sync fund cash flows from the GL into your Tactyc fund construction model. 

Overall, the integration accelerates your ability to leverage Tactyc’s powerful forecasting tools and insights. With immediate access to fund accounting details, you can more quickly track capital activity to ensure up to date performance metrics and data driven forecasting.

Why is this valuable:

The Fund Admin integration between Carta and Tactyc removes the need to manually input monthly cash flows into your Tactyc model—resulting in more accurate, timely, and complete fund performance data. 

With this integration, you can:

• Review and approve partner details, commitments, capital calls, distributions, management fees, and fund expenses
• Save time by syncing real actuals instead of relying on outdated or estimated figures
• Improve accuracy of forecasts and performance metrics like IRR, DPI, and TVPI
• Enable scenario analysis that adapts in real time as capital activity changes
• Streamline LP reporting and internal reviews with updated data

Who is this available for:

This integration is available for all joint Carta Fund Admin <> Tactyc customers.

Easily select and review financial statements before sending.

2. Navigating to your Carta account
3. Go to the Communications Center
4. Click on ‘New Message’
5. Choose any template you want to update your shareholders about
6. Under import financials click Connect to use QuickBooks or See all for the other providers available

1. Once you’ve prepared connecting your accounting system and composed your investor update, you can review your financial statements. 

1. In the review screen you view the data from your accounting system, select the period, and add notes you want your investors to see alongside the data. 
2. After you submit the investor update message with the imported financials, the financials will appear under Company Financials view.

What recipients will see:

1. After a message is sent, the recipient receives an email notification with a link to view it. 
2. New users are prompted to create an account, while existing users are taken directly to their Carta inbox.

1. If financials have been imported, the investor will be able to click View Company Financials link and view the uploaded documents directly in the Financials tab, monthly and quarterly view.

Tactyc now integrates real time cap table data into its forecasting and planning platform. The connection to Carta streamlines the process of adding investments data in Tactyc, providing fund managers the ability to make data-backed decisions with greater speed and accuracy. 

Why is this valuable:

Historically, investment updates have needed to be manually uploaded and maintained in Tactyc. This process is often time-consuming and error-prone, making it difficult to ensure current forecasting for your fund is accurate and up to date. 

You can now sync ownership and financing history for all portfolio companies tracked on Carta. Starting from the fund's initial investment, all subsequent financing rounds will get pulled into Tactyc, regardless of whether you participated or not. The new Tasks and Notifications page will also prompt weekly in-app notifications and review for cap table updates including new rounds for existing investments, net new investments, and newly granted cap table access. 

Overall, the integration accelerates your ability to leverage Tactyc’s powerful forecasting tools and insights. With immediate access to real time cap table data, you can more quickly track how you're following your original fund construction plan across pacing, reserve optimizations, portfolio insights, and more.

Who is this available for:

This integration is available for all Tactyc customers who have an investment firm account in Carta, with accepted securities issued from portfolio companies on Carta.  If you need assistance with portfolio consolidation to one main firm account, reach out to our team at tactyc@carta.com.  

Basic cap table access or higher is also required to pull in a portfolio company's details — learn more here.

How does it work:

1️⃣ Set up the integration by going through a Carta mapping and data review workflow in Tactyc

2️⃣ Once data has been approved, Performance Cases in the respective Investments page will update with Carta sourced data 

3️⃣ Re-sync Carta data on demand, prompting review and approval for Carta updates across new rounds for existing investments, net new investments, and newly granted cap table access.

What’s new?

We’ve enhanced Carta Closings to give General Partners (GPs) greater visibility into their fundraising progress and provide Limited Partners (LPs) with more flexibility in how they complete subscription documents.

With these updates, GPs can now set clear fundraising goals, manage prospective investors across their pipeline, track progress in real time, and upload offline documents for institutional LPs. LPs also gain multiple signing options to make their subscription process more flexible.

Why is this important?

Fundraising can involve countless emails, manual document handling, and a lack of clear tracking. With these improvements, GPs can better manage their fundraise all in one place while offering LPs a smoother, more efficient signing process.

Key benefits:

✅ Flexible LP signing options – LPs can complete online, download and sign manually, or delegate the task.

✅ Clear fundraising tracking – Set and monitor a fundraising goal with real-time updates while simplifying investor management throughout each stage of your fundraise.

✅ Simplified document workflows – GPs can upload countersigned subscription documents directly in Carta, eliminating email follow-ups.

✅ Streamlined investor management – View and take quick actions based on the stage of your prospective investors. You can additionally filter by status, view KYC results, and archive any prospective LPs who aren’t moving forward.

How does it work?

1️⃣ Flexible Investor Signing Options

LPs can now choose how they want to complete subscription documents:

• Complete and sign online
• Download to complete manually, sign, and re-upload
• Delegate to someone else
  
  

2️⃣ Track Your Fundraising Goal

GPs can now set a fundraising target in Carta and track progress across every stage of their fundraise.

3️⃣ Upload Countersigned Subdocs Directly

For LPs who prefer to complete documents offline from the start, GPs can now upload fully executed subdocs directly into Carta.

4️⃣ Manage Your Investor Pipeline 

Easily organize your investor pipeline through status filters, gain real-time visibility into each investor's KYC process, and archive LPs who aren’t moving forward. Archived investors are still accessible via a “Show archived” filter for future reference.

Cap table access is essential for understanding your investment portfolio, but companies often wait for a request before granting it. Our goal is to equip investors and portfolio companies with the tools to request and grant access securely. With our latest release, investment firms now have robust tools to manage cap table requests, ask for the specific data levels they need, and follow up with companies to secure access.

What’s new?

We’re making it easier for investment firms to request and manage cap table access from their portfolio companies. :

• See how many portfolio companies are on Carta, your access status, and any open requests. Sort and filter by access level, company name, date, holdings, and status.
• Send bulk or individual requests and reminders for cap table access in two clicks.
• Export reports with access levels, request details, company status, and contact info for investor questions.

Who is this available for?

All users with “admin” permission in your investment firm.

How do I use it?

To access the page, navigate to your investment firm account, click on "Tools and services" in your sidebar, and select "Cap table access." You may also receive a prompt from the Investments Overview page to request access.

Anything else I need to know?

If you are not sure what levels you will need access to, Advanced is the most common level we see granted for investors. Portfolio companies can always choose to respond with Basic access, if they do not want to grant advanced.

If there are additional enhancements you would like to see here, you can provide feedback via Carta Community.

What's new?

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance accuracy and reliability, we have transitioned our Canceled and Returned report to Carta's Equity Reporting Suite service.

What does the new report offer?

• Consistent Date Formatting: All date columns are now displayed as MM/DD/YYYY for consistency across reports.
• Standardized Security ID Field: The "Security ID" field is now uniformly formatted across all new reports, facilitating easier reconciliation.
• Uniform Quantity Columns: All quantity-related columns, including "Quantity Issued," "Quantity Canceled," "Quantity Forfeited," "Quantity Repurchased," and "Quantity Transferred," are now displayed consistently to simplify reconciliation.
• Detailed Transaction Type Field: The new "Transaction Type" field replaces the old "Reason for Cancellation" field. This new field offers more detailed transaction discrimination and resolves previous issues with reconciling shares returning due to grant life expiration (now tracked under "Lifetime Ended"). It also tracks options canceled due to repricing.
• Termination Date: A new "Termination Date" field has been added to further streamline reconciliations.
