Automated Carta NAV Package Prep Digest
Before each quarter-end, WebRun opens Carta, reads the current fund's investment portfolio, pending capital events, and outstanding LP items, then compiles a NAV package preparation checklist, logs it to a Google Sheet, and posts a structured digest to Slack so the fund admin team can coordinate without scrambling.
How do I automatically prepare a NAV package checklist from Carta before quarter-end?
WebRun reads Carta's portfolio, open capital events, and outstanding LP items before each quarter-end, then compiles a NAV package preparation checklist. The checklist is logged to Google Sheets by category and status, and a structured digest is posted to Slack so the fund admin team can coordinate and close every open item before the deadline.
- Open NAV package items are surfaced weeks before quarter-end, not the day before
- Every checklist item is categorized and tracked in a live Google Sheet
- Fund admin teams start each close with a shared, structured action list in Slack

Questions, answered
When exactly does it run before quarter-end?
It runs on a schedule you configure, typically 3 to 4 weeks before each quarter-end, so the team has enough runway to close open items. You can also trigger it manually from WebRun at any time.
Does it calculate NAV values automatically?
No. NAV calculation requires auditor-reviewed valuations and is performed by your fund administrator. WebRun compiles the preparation checklist and flags open items in Carta, so your admin team works from a complete starting point.
Can it track checklist item completion over time?
Yes. Each run updates the status column in the Google Sheet, so the team can see which items were open on prior runs and confirm they are now resolved before the quarter-end deadline.
