Before creating a Round, Transaction or Capitalization, you must create a Company Summary which will represent a single company within your portfolio. For instructions on how to create a company, please follow these instructions.
Creating the Round
Once you have navigated to the correct Company Summary within the portfolio, create a new Round Detail by scrolling down on the newly created 'Company Summary' and selecting 'New Round Detail'.
- First select the investment type (Equity, Note, Fund etc.)
- Select the Round (Series A, Series B, Common Stock, etc.)
- Enter the Date of the Round
- Note: The Valuation Type = Cost
Round Detail Example
Creating the Transaction
Now that the Round has been created, it is time to create the Transaction. Scroll down on the newly created Round and press 'New Transaction'.
- The record type in this example is 'Investment'
- Associate the proper Fund that is making the Investment
- Enter the Date of the Investment
- Enter the Cost and # of Shares (if applicable)
Transaction Detail Example
Creating the Capitalization
Once the transaction has been created and saved, press 'Send to Xero'. This will create an entry in the corresponding Xero GL.
Creating a new Capitalization is also done similarly to how we created the Round. Navigate back to the 'Company Summary' and scroll down until you see the option to create a 'New Capitalization'
At a bare minimum, the following fields should be entered for new capitalizations:
- Date
- Shares Authorized (Drives the Ownership % calculation)
