GP Incentives Allocation for People & HR
Stop managing carry in spreadsheets. Start giving your team real clarity.
qashqade makes it easy to manage, communicate and track carried interest for every team member, so your people always know where they stand.
For your team, carry isn’t just a number on a spreadsheet. It’s a promise.
A promise that their contribution is recognised, that the rules are fair, and that when the firm does well, so do they. Your job is to make sure that promise is kept. Clearly, consistently, and without anyone having to ask twice.
One place for every employee's carry
See all carry points, vesting schedules, and entitlements for every team member in a single platform. No more hunting across documents or asking Finance for a data export.
Vesting that runs on autopilot
Set up cliff or continuous vesting schedules once and let qashqade do the rest. The system tracks vesting events automatically, so nothing falls through the cracks, even as your team grows or changes.
Keep employees informed without the manual effort
When a vesting event happens or carry is realised, employees get a clear, accurate view of their entitlements through a secure personal portal. You control what they see and when. No more awkward conversations caused by outdated information.
Handle leavers and forfeitures with confidence
When a carry holding team member leaves, qashqade handles forfeiture calculations cleanly, whether that’s based on vested points, unvested points or a defined percentage. You stay compliant, consistent and fair without doing the maths manually.
Finance and HR, finally in sync
Because qashqade connects carry allocations directly to the fund’s waterfall calculations, HR and Finance are always working from the same numbers. No more version-control nightmares or discrepancies between systems.
How Incentive Allocation Works at qashqade
Carry structures, vesting rules, and partner allocations are configured in the platform, and calculations are automatically carried out during the waterfall run. From that point forward, every waterfall run can calculate GP carry automatically — consistently, transparently and in line with your defined structure.
Add your carry holders
Onboard your team members into the carry program, assign their carry points and set up their vesting schedule. This will take you minutes, not hours.
Set vesting rules once
Choose the type of vesting (cliff, continuous) and link to each employee’s allocation.
Stay in sync with Finance
Because carry calculations happen automatically within the fund’s waterfall process, there is no need for manual updates. No reconciliation, no version conflicts.
Communicate results to your team
When carry events occur, employees can view their personalized summary through the secure portal. You control what is shared and when.
Handle changes cleanly
Whether it is new joiners, leavers or promotions, you can easily manage allocation changes with full confidence. Forfeiture rules are applied automatically when someone leaves.

Simply add them as a carry holder in the system, assign their carry points, and attach the relevant vesting schedule. The whole setup takes minutes, and from that point all tracking and communications happen automatically.
Yes. You can create custom vesting schedules and link them directly to each employee's carry allocation. Once configured, the system tracks vesting events automatically so nothing is missed as your team grows or changes.
When a vesting event occurs or carry is realised, you are able to provide employees with a clear, accurate summary through the portal. You control exactly what is visible and when, eliminating the need for manual updates or one-off emails.
Forfeiture rules are configured in advance and applied automatically when someone leaves. This keeps the process consistent and fair, and removes the risk of manual calculation errors.
Because carry allocations are calculated directly within the fund's waterfall process, HR and Finance are always working from the same figures. There is no need to reconcile separate spreadsheets or chase data exports; the single source of truth sits in qashqade.
Both. HR manages allocations and controls what is published, while employees can view their own personalised summary - points, vesting timeline, and realisations - through the secure portal. You decide what they see and when.
