Fiduciary Accounting Challenges for Trustees, Executors, and Advisors

You may be serving as a trustee or executor for the first time, while managing an already stressful situation. Accounting and reporting responsibilities can surface well into the administration, leaving you to reconstruct years of activity.

Records often come from multiple custodians, banks, investment managers, and attorneys, and the right treatment of each transaction depends on the trust document and applicable law. As a trustee, professional fiduciary, attorney, or family office, you need a fiduciary accounting that holds up in a court of law, is presented to beneficiaries annually, and is prepared in accordance with the trust document or state probate code.

You want an accurate, understandable record that supports tax reporting, gives beneficiaries clarity, and lets you move forward with confidence.
