Learn About FirmView®: Ryan Burger’s Perspective on Why FirmView is a Game Changer for Managing Carry and Compensation

Managing carry and compensation in the private capital markets has never been more complex, or more critical. With evolving fund structures, growing deal teams, and increased scrutiny from stakeholders, the need for accurate, transparent, and scalable solutions is top of mind for CFOs, COOs, and investor relations leaders alike.

In a recent conversation, Allvue’s Ryan Burger shares how firms are rethinking their approach to carry and compensation tracking, and why legacy spreadsheets and disconnected systems no longer make the cut.

The Problem with the Old Way

Historically, many private equity and credit firms have relied on manual models to manage their carried interest, incentive fees, and compensation plans. These spreadsheets often live in silos, making it difficult to ensure consistency across performance calculations, waterfall models, and investor distributions.

“Carry and comp are two of the most sensitive and high-stakes areas of a fund’s operations,” Ryan explains. “If you get it wrong, even slightly, you’re looking at mistrust, compliance risk, and potentially real financial consequences.”

As firms scale, so do the complexities. Tracking vesting schedules, individual entitlements, multiple fund vintages, clawbacks, and real-time valuations becomes nearly impossible without automation and auditability.

Purpose-Built Tools for a New Era

That’s where FirmView’s Carry and Compensation Management solution comes in. Purpose-built for the unique challenges of private capital, it’s designed to help firms accurately model, track, and report on carried interest and incentive plans across funds, strategies, and participants.

Ryan highlights several key capabilities in the video:

  • Real-time, rules-based calculations that remove the guesswork from performance tracking.

  • Automated reporting for both internal stakeholders and regulators.

  • Participant transparency through personalized dashboards that show accrued and realized carry in real time.

  • Deep integration with fund accounting and investor relations modules, ensuring consistency from the general ledger to the compensation schedule.

“Our clients want control, clarity, and confidence. They want to know that their team members are rewarded accurately and that they’re in compliance with complex fund agreements,” Ryan says. “This solution helps them do all that and more.”

Build Trust. Reduce Risk. Reward Performance.

The ability to track and manage carried interest isn’t just an operational need, it’s a talent retention strategy. As competition for top investment talent intensifies, firms are looking for ways to create transparent, predictable, and trusted compensation structures.

Allvue’s solution helps firms reward top performers fairly while reducing the back-office burden and risk that comes with manual models. And because it’s part of the Allvue platform, it’s designed to grow with your firm, no matter how complex your fund structure becomes.
