Explore the mechanics

Follow the flow
of a distribution.

Adjust an illustrative investment to see how return of capital, a preferred return, and a residual split affect proceeds.

Real waterfalls can include GP co-investment, catch-up tiers, hurdles, and deal-specific allocation rules. Each model needs its own governing terms and review.

Educational example only. This simplified model assumes LP-funded capital, a non-compounding annual preferred return, no GP catch-up, and a residual carry split. It is not a tax or contractual allocation calculation.

Connected Section 83(b) workflows

From equity grant
to eventual disposition.

Keep an election connected to the ownership history it affects, with a dedicated legal and filing workflow at every stage.

01Establish the record

Connect the recipient, ownership interest, grant or acquisition date, and vesting schedule.

02Manage the election

Organize Section 83(b) preparation, deadline tracking, professional review, and filing evidence.

03Maintain ownership & basis

Retain election details alongside vesting events, ownership changes, and relevant basis records.

04Support disposition reporting

Carry acquisition, basis, and transaction records forward for subsequent sale and tax reporting review.

Shared data. Distinct responsibilities.

Connected records deserve
purpose-built workflows.

Tax returns, information returns, elections, and financial models share data. Each retains its own legal requirements, calculation methods, review, and filing process.

Tax returns

Personal returns and Forms 1120, 1065, and 1041 require return-specific preparation and review.

Information returns

Forms 1099-DA and 1099-B support transaction reporting. Form 990 serves exempt organization annual information reporting.

Tax elections

Section 83(b) has its own election, deadline, and filing-evidence workflow, linked to equity records.

Ownership & financial models

Cap tables and waterfalls are ownership and financial accounting records with agreement-specific modeling rules.

Frequently asked questions

Plan the right engagement.

What does Private Equity Management cover?

The scope can include corporate ownership records, cap tables, vesting, partnership and private equity distribution models, investment tax reconciliation, and related practice workflows. Discovery identifies your priorities and the services to include in a proposal.

Are cap tables and waterfalls tax returns?

No. Cap tables are ownership records, and waterfalls are financial distribution models governed by the applicable agreements. They can supply data for tax work, but retain separate legal, calculation, and review workflows.

How do Section 83(b) workflows connect to equity records?

An election workflow connects preparation, deadline tracking, review, and filing evidence with the relevant ownership interest, acquisition date, vesting schedule, and basis records. Those records also support later disposition reporting. The election retains its separate filing requirements.

How are tax returns and information returns handled?

Personal returns and Forms 1120, 1065, and 1041 have return-specific workflows. Forms 1099-DA and 1099-B concern transaction information reporting, while Form 990 is an annual information return for exempt organizations. Shared data does not make their requirements interchangeable.

Can the waterfall example be used for actual distributions?

The interactive example illustrates a simplified return of capital, non-compounding preferred return, and residual carry split. Actual distributions require a model based on your governing agreements, including any catch-up provisions, hurdles, GP co-investment, and allocation tiers, followed by professional review.

What should we bring to discovery?

Describe your entities, ownership structure, investment activity, current systems, reporting needs, and timeline. Identify the records available, such as cap tables, governing agreements, vesting schedules, and transaction reports. The discovery conversation can establish how supporting documents should be provided.

How do we request a proposal?

Use our contact page to request discovery and a proposal. Tell us which capability areas you need and the outcomes you want to achieve. Scope, deliverables, timing, pricing, integrations, and production availability can then be confirmed for the proposed engagement.
