Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about delegating capital call verification, Canoe OCR document triage, UPMIFA spending audits, and board reporting.

Fiduciary confidentiality, donor anonymity, and sensitive portfolio asset allocations are safeguarded under strict institutional protocols. Every SageDoer Virtual Assistant and Project Manager signs a comprehensive, legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Your assistant accesses your reporting portals (Addepar, Burgiss, Canoe, Backstop) using role-restricted, least-privilege sub-accounts managed through enterprise password vaults (1Password/LastPass) with mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA). We never retain, store, or export raw endowment financial records or K-1 filings onto unauthorized personal devices.
Never. In strict accordance with institutional treasury controls, our assistants operate on a zero-key, zero-disbursement authority model. Your assistant handles the clerical, mathematical, and data-entry heavy-lifting: extracting capital call notice documents, verifying call amounts against partnership commitment agreements, checking remaining unfunded capital balances, matching bank routing instructions against verified side-letter records, and staging the entry in your accounting ledger. Actual wire authorization and release remain exclusively with your authorized institutional bank signers.
Unlike unmanaged freelance marketplaces where busy CIOs and treasury directors waste 15+ hours a week babysitting remote contractors, verifying spreadsheet calculations, and explaining private equity terminology, SageDoer builds institutional quality assurance directly into the service. Your Project Manager acts as your single point of contact, conducts QA checks on board reporting decks and capital call reconciliation logs, monitors working hours, and coordinates instant replacement coverage if your assistant is unavailable.
Yes. During Phase 2 onboarding, your dedicated Project Manager configures your institution's specific spending formula (e.g. 4.5% distribution based on a 12-quarter trailing moving average). Your assistant audits individual sub-funds, identifies underwater endowments (where current market value falls below historical gift value), tracks donor-mandated purpose restrictions, and prepares clean distribution matrices for university bursar or foundation grantmaking desks.
None. We offer 100% transparent flat pricing ($7/hour for Part-Time 20 hrs/week, or $6/hour for Full-Time 40 hrs/week) with zero platform fees, zero onboarding fees, and no minimum contract lock-ins. You only pay for verified productive hours worked on a simple, consolidated USD invoice suitable for institutional non-profit audit reporting.
